Como are manfully talking up keeping him and they could well go to Madrid and offer them 30m euros to sign him outright, but there's not a hope they will keep him. His heart seems set on a move to the a bigger stage and even if Madrid accepted Como's offer, he would reject the move himself. Madrid will initiate the buyback for 8m and sell him to Inter or whoever for 30m- that's the easiest money they will ever make.
