If his head and his agents head is screwed on he'll join us for 2 years before making a big money move. Two big paydays.
“Estupiñan was sold to Newcastle for £65m with Brighton receiving 20% of the fee after a disappointing season in which Chelsea finished 12th having sacked Pochettino after only 15 games and seeing out the season with Chelsea legend and stalwart, Frank Lampard as manager.” Aug ‘25
This.
And the club gets two paydays also. They only need to look at Independiente del Valle who are now building the Caicedo football academy out of pure South American gold.

Maybe other clubs see we are interested in a young South American player and think they must buy him Because he will be worth £50m+ in a year’s time.
Sign for Man City now... agent gets their cut of the release fee.
Sign for us... agent gets this same amount and a shot at their cut of a mega fee...

Despite never having watched him, I’m very excited about this based on what I’ve read. But no updates at all it seems?
I wonder if the club could give us exclusivity on release fee in exchange for a sell-on?Sign for Man City now... agent gets their cut of the release fee.

The agent would also take their cut of his player's monthly pay packet...Sign for Man City now... agent gets their cut of the release fee.

If it’s a release clause then surely a sell on is irrelevant? We’re paying effectively to cancel his current contract, anything subsequent to that is not Boca’s business.

I’d like to think the Mac Allister family will be pointing the lad in the right direction!
Reporters in Argentina have said that he doesn't want to leave by release clause because of that

There was an interview with Max Allister after the World Cup where he was asked who Brighton should sign and he mentioned a young lad from Argentina. I don't know if it is this one or not because I can't find the link.

It was his Boca teammate Ezequiel Fernandez that Alexis said we should sign.
Juventus were heavily linked with Barco in April.
Helpful.

Actually, now that I have thought about it, I think it was his Boca teammate Ezequiel Fernandez that Alexis said we should sign.

Tim Vickery on TalkSport described him as a talent.
Club want to keep him due to their South American Champions League commitments.

When we bought Alexis didn’t we loan him back to his Argentinian club until the end of the calendar year?
Shouldn’t be an issue with this guy if it means that he comes.
I expect we are lining him up as our Pervis replacement and so better that he plays in Argentina regularly rather than paying for our u23s whilst Pervis is still here.
Integrate him in the second half of this season, ready for appearances next season.

This would be very encouraging. He was very excited about Moises. Knows his stuff.

That’s how I remember it and yes, I agree. Only 4 months difference and if he’s as much of a talent as he looks (reminds me of a young Bale looking at the videos) well worth it.
