Well, the kid is on 30 000 pounds a year, yet they paif off his parents 2.8 million euros according to lazio. THat should cover the bills for the next 20 years. Sure, it's a great way to get out of poverty, and im not against helping disadvantaged people out, my problem is that, as soon as paying the parents as well as the child becomes a legitimate act, then think of the hell that will break loose.
Young 16 year old with amazing skills, you have 10 clubs all bidding for him, with whoeer offers the parents the most money gets the contract. Surely if you just leave it up to what you can offer the player in terms or wages, development, lifestyle, educations etc, then you make it in his best interests.
IF these acts are true (which obviously i cant say they are with 100% accuracy) then i think its just such a blight on the game, that its come to this point where every single aspect of the game is dominated by money.
