Creative Financing: Player Swaps and Installments
Significant Player Swaps: Offering players like Joaquin Correa or Kristjan Asllani, potentially even Denzel Dumfries (though less likely given his current value), could reduce the cash component. However, Leverkusen would need to be interested in these players, and their valuations might not align.
Long-Term Installments: Spreading the payment over four or five years would ease the immediate financial burden. This is a common practice in big transfers, but Leverkusen would still demand a substantial upfront payment.
Performance-Related Add-ons: A significant portion of the fee could be tied to Inter's success in Serie A and the Champions League, as well as Wirtz’s individual achievements.
