What's the scheme. Getting fair deals done before a deadline? I could agree it would be a scheme like you guys are arguing if both players were sold at values way above valuation. Since Maatsen was sold close to or at what would be considered his value, it's more likely that Kellyman's value was much higher than what people here thought. Otherwise, why would Chelsea give Villa free money?
Maybe, Villa would also need the deals done before 6/30, so both would've been motivated to get them done quickly. And people here have cited Transfermarkt and sofascore, and Maatsen is 37-40M on each. Maybe Kellyman's value is inflated a bit, but it's not like Chelsea would sell Maatsen at fair value to then greatly overpay for Kellyman. It's much more likely that Kellyman just had more value than what others think.
