With yesterday’s news that West Bromwich Albion had reportedly accepted an offer from Dalian Yifang for striker Salomon Rondon, I think most fans were pleased that the long running saga now looked to be at an end.
West Brom Give Rondon A Question As Report Claims Bid Has Been Accepted
With the 29-year-old Venezuelan international spending the 2018/19 campaign out on loan with Newcastle United, we’ve long known he didn’t want to return to The Hawthorns and that he’d enjoyed working with Rafa Benitez and it seems they will now have the chance to team up with each other once again, albeit now in China.
Exclusive: Deal agreed between #DalianYifang and #WestBrom for Salomon Rondon to rejoin Rafa Benitez. Player now in talks with Chinese clubs and could agree terms in next 48 hours. #NUFC #WBA https://t.co/OzHTtF6aQx

Rondon would be another high profile departure from the club following on from Dwight Gayle’s loan spell ending, and release fees being accepted for Craig Dawson and Jay Rodriguez and the biggest question for fans is simply how much of the £16.5million we are entitled to, did we actually receive, as it wasn’t believed that Yifang had struck agreement in that manner.
I’m hearing a new carpet and coffee machine in the board room deal is very close

Surely it has to meet the buy out clause

We need to reinvest the money in two/three players…
