Which is not how this works. Its possible we had the money, but the argument is non-sense.

No it isn't. Your making assumptions based on Napoli being almost a non-factor in negotiations. Napoli didn't need to sell last summer. They could have played hard ball, in fact they did it before with weaker talents than Osimhen.

Do explain.
Expect wont though for good reason.
Okay: let's say they sell him for 100ME and he signs a 5 year contract. That's 20ME per season on the books (=amortization). But the actual cash flow this year and in the not so distant future is what conditions Napoli offers. Maybe they want three installments with 40ME upfront. Or they do us a favor like City did with Ferran. No way to tell, but hearing de Laurentiis talk and his usual BS I am not so sure.
It's not a hard concept, but also impossible to say what we could have afforded.
That is a guess at how Napoli would try to structure the cash but very much doubt they ask for 40m x3... you are assuming 120m but regardless.
Even if they did it was the books that Barca had to contend with and have to take into account what paid Bayern and when.
Cash flow was not the issue nearly as much as the books.
The club said that they said they would be spending big had it not been for financial fair play.
??? The installments don't need to be the same. 40m+30m+30m for example.
Anyway, I kind of agree we could have had the money, but the amortization argument was shit. Also, this whole discussion for fecking Osimhen? Would take Lewy any day.
