Option....

Pretty standard these days. Pretty much exactly the same deal as Rashford to Barcelona. If it goes well Roma will have got a bargain, if not they don't have to buy any we'll know a bit more about Ferguson

In which case it sounds like Brighton have been the loser in the negotiation. If he's a success playing for a big club in a top European league, they sell him at the end of the season for less than what his value will be at that point. If he's a failure he ends up back with them with his transfer value further reduced.

If he fails he'd still only be 21. Liverpool paying 95 million for Ekitike who was crap until last season at age 23
