If he does well, Real takes him away from you. Then you can take a moment and be happy about the 10m profit you've made - and then you can start looking for a new left back, who will obviously cost you more than the 10m you've made.

Don't get me wrong, he's probably a great addition for you guys on the pitch short-term. I like him a lot and wanted him at United, after all. But I don't know why you would agree to a deal like that, it gives all the power to Real and there are very few benefits for you long-term.
It's only if he wants to go back, he wanted to leave, and wants to play for Mourinho

Plus zidane for some reason just doesn't want to play him, he didn't when he was 15 and zizou was coaching castilla

Alistair Gold who is the closest tier 1 spurs reporter said they weren't planning to look at lb this window, but just saw the value

If he's great and wants to leave in 2 years then it sucks, but that would mean he's playing well

When he's basically half the price of chilwell, it's an incredible value, makes it worth it imo
