Hi Ed’s, sorry if this has been asked / answered already but I did have a quick look Q: Do you know what the situation is with Sandro Ramirez? There is nothing to say he has returned to The country let alone the club or pre-season training.

{Ed002's Note - He was priced out of the move he wanted. I really don’t know where he is.}

Cheers Ed, thought it was strange that as one of our ‘huger paid’ players that the local papers never seem to mention him anymore. I can’t imagine we wanted a return on him (7mil was he? ) but I expect we wanted half that at least on top of his wages off the books. Hey ho, another marvellous transfer that has gone our way 🙈.

I don’t know if this is true or if this sort of thing is even possible but I read he has a clause in his contract that he can’t be loaned out in the last year of his contract unless it includes an option to buy.

Hi Blue, Everton and Real Valladolid eventually reached an agreement, but it seems it was Ramírez making sacrifices that made it happen.

According to Pucela Fichajes, he earns around €5m per year at Everton, but they claim, citing journalist Christina Bea, that the striker has foregone a ‘significant amount’ from that total to ensure his short-term stay in Spain.

How much he’s given up isn’t mentioned, but it seems likely to be a reasonably high one as it’s stated that his full salary is ‘unattainable’ for Real Valladolid.

What remains to be seen is whether he’s willing to do the same to secure a permanent exit from Everton this summer.

It’s been made clear that Valladolid can’t afford his current packet or anything near for that matter, nor can they afford Everton’s demands for a deal.

If Ramírez is willing to take a permanent pay cut, though, that could open the door to a deal and let Everton get rid of a player they’ve made clear they don’t want. hope this helps.

Thanks BigNev, I pretty much new some of that and thanks for filling the gaps in etc. but he ain’t with Valladolid currently and hasn’t returned to us like Kenny, Besic and Bolasie is my understanding? I wonder where he is then and why no return?

Doubt we can even give him a free transfer, see him winding his contract down onloan, while still taking a big chunk from Everton.
