It could mean only that transfer could be done a little bit later, we will certainly not wait until then. Can't see us waiting more than a few weeks.
What are they going to do? Leave him at a club and not playing him again as a starter. Could only drop his value.
Anyway, it's bollocks.

Its just haggling tactics.
It won't drag to August 31st
I think Mourinho wants a striker in before the tour (they fly out in less than a month) so if it looks like no agreement can be reached by then, I'm sure United will move on. And he'll want ALL business done (in and out) before the PL season starts

This will finish in about one week I reckon.
reminds me of the marotta nonsense with pogba, everyone just kept guessing when it would happen. Muppets going on bi-polar mood swings with every update, in reality everything was finalised around the time pogba finished his holiday.

People need something to worry about.
We'll bite the bullet, and pay the asking price. Especially if Monaco doesn't sell Mbappe, which means that Madrid won't need the money.
It is essentially him, Lukaku and Bellotti who are in the market. Not much choice there.

Sounds like it
Morata is a key signing, its needs to be done by the first day of pre season
You would want it but you wouldn't get it.
Think it'll get done this week. Jose will want our business done asap.
It's already done.
I'm betting Morata has something to say on this. Also, the real hold up could be the delay in Mbappe. It's logic they would consider the replacement lined up in all but ink before our sale gets done
its € not £
I'll gladly take the 16M extra if you dont want it. Which is also likely to rise if we wait. The election slumped the pound value which will bounce back in the next week or so. (Well gave it an extra dip recently)
SO if Madrid want to wait until July so he's off holiday. I'd say United will be fine with that.
I was referencing this post which cites Delaney. It's tempting to assume I meant euros but unfortunately not.
Got a feeling they will drag it out as long as possible and collapse it last minute in revenge for the De Gea saga. We should be pushing through signing Bellotti just in case
Delaney is also reporting that Madrid are holding out for £78m (and £50m for Perisic
well then you are wrong or he is, Because Inter want €50M for perisic thats £44M so unless you are saying or him that we are paying €100M for Morata thats about £85M. Which we are not. By all reports they want €78M
That as far as i know, but its not €130m or anywhere near it
128 is pretty close to 130
Err... no... you said 50+78 was nowhere close to 130. All in euros.
In any case, some have quoted €55m and €90m so the top end is ~130M quid if we are terrible negotiators. I think it's more likely €40m and €75m fees plus some bonus nonsense.
£78m, or €90m for Morata.
Yea but it said 130 million pounds in the original post.
And i said thats € not £
to which you replied to this posts
So the £130M quoted is actually Euro not Pounds
Jeish!
This. Neither was Jose. People have short memories.
It said £50m for Perisic and £78m for Morata, as in Pound Sterling. Which added together comes to just under £130m. Hence my comment "no way this happens imo."
It's a ridiculous price.
It was as 'nailed on' as Griezmann, and look how that worked out. There are always risks in bullshitting.
Nope, he picked up news which added to 130M pounds and that's what he was referring to. By all accounts it's likely to be closer to euros than pounds, but it's all down to which news item you latch on to, and they are all as much guesswork as the other so can hardly say anyone is wrong.
In any case, I didn't reply to those posts you quoted but yours. The point was your post added two Euro figures which delivered 128M and then you went on to say it was nowhere close to 130M Euros. I was just pointing out how easy it is to make the mistake when even the currency police gets it wrong.
So is this thread about Alvaro Morata or Aquire Me?
Some people just need to let it go.
Anyway, I'm hoping we can get Morata sorted ASAP, but I have a feeling Real will make this drag on until the end of the window.
Really hope Jose has a good plan B if Morata doesn't work out.

This sums it up pretty well for me. I hate the "why do you care, it's not your money" argument. I think it's immature, careless, and stupid.
I think Morata will be a great fit, on and off the pitch. Hope we sign him!
70 m euros is enough, it's more than double the amount real paid in a buy back clause. Let him force his move because he Clearly wants to leave.
Real want £80m that is insane
Even the papers that reported the deal being off did mention that the club had already put work into marketing. It's not difficult to see why Aquire Me thought it was a done deal, so to speak.
Look like if this happens, he will sign or if it doesn't, he won't be a Man United player.
The fee is ludicrous, obviously. But we're in a position of relative desperation - the only reliable goalscorer at the club, is about to depart, and if we're to replace his rather specific set of attributes, our options in the market are limited. Add to that the fact that we seem to be playing hardball over De Gea, and it's not hard to see why Madrid are demanding so much money.
They are just beefing up de geas price too, in that case.
That's true and probably why, if they are insistent on getting De Gea this summer, the negotiations here might be very protracted. I guess the most-plausible scenario now, though, is that we do a straight cash deal (a very big one) for Morata this summer, Madrid keep Navas (who seems popular among the staff and squad) for another year and then come back, finally, for De Gea next summer, when he has just a year left on his deal and we can't be so demanding re his fee.
Fair enough, I'm not going to belabour the point. It's all part of the fun of transfer season - no point in getting too worked up about it.
De gea ha to sign new contract this summer. Or extend his 1 year extension and we will demand 120 m euros next year.
I believe we have an option to extend his deal for another year, through 2020, so we'd absolutely still demand a major fee. Real can try to play whatever games they want, but when Jordan Pickford is going for 30m they better be ready to absolutely smash the GK transfer record for De Gea.
I wonder if it might be a case of needing / wanting to sell James OR Morata for RM?
Yes, there is an option for another year on DDG's deal.
