Letting a talented young player go only to buy them back later for a big price could become a trend if Premier League clubs are not careful.
Chelsea spent £21 million buying midfielder Nemanja Matic back from Benfica in 2014, three years after he left the Blues.Manchester United are reportedly considering spending a world-record fee to reunite with Juventus' Paul Pogba four years after he left in search of a regular starting place—the Guardian's Jamie Jackson among those chasing that story.
According to the Sun's Andrew Richardson and the Mirror's Tom Hopkinson, Tottenham Hotspur could be another club contemplating a bit of regret-spending.
