With Leeds United still working on signing Nahitan Nandez from Cagliari, it’s not only the Italian media who are excited with the possibility of a transfer.

Reports from Argentina today show that Boca Juniors could end up benefiting from this move as well, with a big reason to celebrate.

El Intransigente writes today that when selling the midfielder to Cagliari in 2019, the Buenos Aires side managed to keep 10% of a sale.

Should Leeds trigger his release clause, which is €36m, Boca Juniors would make €3.6m ‘without lifting a finger’. That’s why they ‘rub their hands’ for this transfer to happen.

However, what the Argentine media isn’t taking into account is that Leeds want another formula for the deal, rather than triggering Nandez’s release clause.

A couple of reports from Italy today claimed that the Whites are finding it ‘impossible’ to invest that much money on a single player. That’s why they think a deal would only be viable in case Cagliari negotiate.

In that case, that’s a little less money that Boca Juniors would make with the move.
