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.

£60-70m would do it for De Gea, I expect. That seems to be more than Madrid are currently willing to pay. By this time next year, Raiola will have negotiated a mega release fee into Donnarumma's Milan contract and we'll be goalkeeper shopping...
 
The conclusion is that there was never actually any deal in place? I find that hard to believe. We were clearly interested in him. If our approach to Griezmann was anything like our approach to Pogba, we would have initiated contact months in advance, notified sponsors, planned a marketing strategy, all of that. It doesn't seem plausible for Griezmann, Pogba, Eric Olhats to have made the comments they made had there not been a concrete approach on our part.

The conclusion is that whatever United's interest in Griezmann, there was never a 'done deal' like Acquire Me repeatedly insisted it was.

We know this because the deal never happened.

We also know his claims about the deal have been contradicted by people who actually would know. For example one of the many times he claimed he deal was 'done' was February 2nd.

Yet months later Olhats said that was nonsense.

Olhats in April said:
I had heard that Manchester United was done, was signed, but we don’t even know if they’ll play in the Champions League. That’s important, I must say.

And according to Mourinho he didn't even give Woodward his list of transfer targets until at least a month later.

Mourinho in May said:
He knows since March who I want, what I want, how much i want. He knows everything since March.

Now I wasn't one of the people who criticised Acquire Me when he began claiming he was an ITK and anyone who sends him personal abuse needs to have a look at themselves. But at the same time it's impossible for me to believe he was genuinely well informed of our transfer dealings given the above facts.

No ,same way 70 m euros should do it for morata. And we go for oblak not Donna.

His release clause is 85 m euros and we trigger it after selling him for 110- 120 m euros.

If that way Madrid wan to go.
 



REAL MADRID | The Morata sale will close in the next few days. The agreement is almost total

And can we stop talking about AcquireMe? This is the Morata thread, he said he won't be posting anymore. If people want to know, just PM him. If not, don't bother and also don't PM threats or bash please.
 
Let it go mate. This thread is about Morata. What I like most about him is his finishing. He will probably be our best finisher.

Don't let the minority ruin what you post. It's up to the individual who reads your post, to choose whether they believe you or not. Any threatening behaviour should be raised with the mods and that person been banned.
 


I can't read spanish, so had to use Google which is not accurate:

#Morata will go with #Mou to his #United and assume, despite his call, that he does not have #Zidane's left hand on #RealMadrid.
 
Anyway back to Morata, it seems every Spanish outlet apart from Marca say that this deal is done.
 
70-80 mill for this guy?

He scored 15 in the league last season, 7 and 8 the two seasons before that for Juve in the league.

Hardly a profilc goal scorer is he which is what we need. Should be all over Aubameyang.
 
I sure hope we don't cock this up on deadline day. If he doesn't sign soon we should move on. Feck Madrid.

The feck is that?:lol:

Well the good thing is every Spanish outlet seems adamant that this will go through so I guess at this point it doesn't even matter. Everyone worth their salt in Spain has put their name on it. Ie Felix Diaz, Man Utd Carreno, Diego Torres. So I'm pretty sure this is as real as it gets.

27 goals in 26 starts (26 sub apps) for Real and Spain the last year. I'm guessing his minutes per goal is pretty great.
 
I couldn't careless about the fee at this point. Let's get it done, get him integrated properly and ready for pre season tour.

Ok so according to reddit, the proper translation is that Despite Zidane's call to Morata for him to stay, he has decided to join United.

It is indeed. Morata has scored a goal every 85 minutes for Real Madrid and Spain this season.

Edit: he's scored a goal every 88.9 minutes if you look just at the league - that's the best record anywhere in Europe*:

Morata - goal every 88.9 mins
Messi - 91.4
Aubameyang - 95.9
Mertens - 98.7
Suarez - 98.8


*Among players who have played at least 1000 mins

"Juanma López, representative of Alvaro Morata, is in the Santiago Bernabéu trying the future of the striker of Real Madrid . The agent arrived at 16:30 hours to a meeting that will put on the table the strong interest of Manchester United by the white youth. Morata wants to clarify his future this week (on Friday he marries in Venice) and the English club is tightening to close the operation."
 
So unless everything is sorted in the next 6/7 hours this one will drag on until after Moratas honeymoon? Not likely he will be doing anything the day before his wedding now in fairness is it.

The feck is that?:lol:

I asked a Spanish-speaking friend and they say it says something like "Morata is going to Jose's United, but he won't be as good as Zidane was for Madrid". Which is even more confusing.

Well, we don't know if he is flying straight after saying his vows. Anyway, we can always confirm the deal with Real first.

 
He's apparently 2nd in La Liga behind only Messi.
He has been very good this season compared to his past goal scoring record. The only question is whether this is an anomaly or he has infact improved. If its the latter, he'll be totally worth the price we are going to pay.

The official announcement would probably wait, yes.
 
Sounds like it's about to be concluded... Until the reports come out that Real Madrid now want €110m and we go around in circles again.
 
Madrid will agree eventually to the 70m euros deal I'm sure of it. It's understandable for me that they're trying to milk us but eventually I think they'll accept the deal.
