That second summer Newcastle United signing, of Nick Pope, has revealed details of just how the NUFC owners are looking to structure deals. There had been plenty of media claims of the club’s owners trying as much as possible to arrange transfers, where as much as possible of the transfer fee would be paid in future instalments. This then allowing the budget allocated for spending this summer to go as far as possible, paying as little as possible up front.
So whilst £60m roughly in NUFC transfer commitments so far, in reality a far lower amount having to be paid out straight away this summer.
