They needed that transfer, badly. High wages, 3rd party ownership on their top prized assets and the collapse of the Moutinho transfer meant that one had to happen.
The'll be alright (financially) providing they sell at least €30m worth of players per season. Under the circumstances they operate it's quite admirable but I'd say it's high risk as the rest of Europe are catching up with their scouting as well.
