"Capital gain is a massive help for clubs, and it seems that AC Milan will record a major profit on the sale of Alex Jimenez. When Jimenez was signed permanently, it was hoped that he would become part of the Milan defensive foundation. However, he was seen as sellable in the summer, and he headed to the Premier League. Initially a loan deal, the clubs included a buy agreement, though it has seemed likely for a while that it would be activated."
"Lots to smile about As Tuttosport, via Radio Rossonera, writes the Diavolo will record a capital gain from the sale of €20 million, which could be huge for the summer spending. Even if Real Madrid will be due 50% of this amount, it still adds up. Neither party holds any regrets, with the Spaniard enjoying life in England, whilst Milan are watching Davide Bartesaghi grow up in front of them."
Alex Jimenez moved from AC Milan to Bournemouth after an initial loan that included a buy clause likely to be activated. Milan originally signed him with hopes he would form part of the defensive core but decided he was sellable and sanctioned the move. The permanent transfer will generate a reported €20 million capital gain for Milan, which will substantially aid summer spending even after Real Madrid receives a 50% share. Jimenez is reported to be enjoying life in England, while Milan observe Davide Bartesaghi's development and the club benefit from converting a Futuro prospect into a sizeable fee within two years.
