Verratti to Madrid.
Guess the next World Record Transfer
- Thread starter Sparky Rhiwabon
- Start date
Veratti will go for a lot of money eventually, but I cant see him breaking the world record, especially by Real. Huge transfer fees are usually reserved for very high profile players with a big marketing/PR following. I cant see Real spending that much on a deep lying midfielder. Neymar seems to be the only player who fits the category of a record breaker at the moment - perhaps to Utd or City for £120m+? However, i expressed this in the summer - I do feel that this window gone by represents a sort of peak, and Pogba's fee will not be broken for a long time, if at all. We've gotten to the stage where fees are coming to a level of buying entire clubs or building stadiums, and clubs can only push fans so much in terms of price.
I just feel like he's be a natural replacement for somebody like Modric in a few years, and it'll take a gigantic fee to get PSG to let him go (and make him leave, he seems happy at Paris). But, I do see the point that a holding midfielder might not go for that much. Then again, did we expect a central midfielder like Pogba to break it now? The money just continues to shoot up.
Specifically, i look at Real's record-breaking transfers, and each has been a star attacking player. If its anyone, I can see us breaking the record for Veratti - I think Woodward is more swayed by the manager's choice of target, and if Mou says we need Veratti, Ed'll try to make it happen; but Real dont operate like that.
It's looking like we'll be after either a destroyer or deep lying play maker next summer but can't see verrati moving that soon. Serious lack of DLP about at the moment though.
It's not just Real though is it? The clear majority of most high profile transfers are for attacking players and for good reason as well, they are the ones that make most difference and are the rarest breed. The ability to destabilise a defence through pace, dribbling, passing and vision and create or score goals out of nowhere is still and will continue to be the most valuable skill in a footballer. Our transfer for Pogba was a bit of an exception in that regard even though we can argue that he can be a creative force himself. But for a more defensive minded player to break the record would truly be an anomaly.
Griezmann to us for £80m.
Neymar to us for £164 mill next summer. Watch this place!
With a name like William Hill I've got to believe you
Beckham to City.
I've actually got two mates both called William Hill. What are the odds?
My guess for the OP is Greizmann next summer for somewhere around 95m.
I know a Filipino girl called Elizabeth sresiksfithe. We just call her Bet.
An ageing Ronaldo to PSG
Aubamayang to Real
Griezman to Barcelona ( The caf will lose their collective shits)
Kane to PSG ( where he will be an expensive failure)
Messi to city ( If Pep fails to win the league in two season

Bale to anywhere, if he leaves within next 2 years
De bruyne to real
He looks different, did he change his hair?Beckham to City.
Cristiano..
He wants too much money from Madrid and he still demands a lot on the market. So, one of the money giants could offer him huge money and fee for his services.

Any one of Dybala, Verratti, Neymar, Bale.
Has to be griezemann surely?
His release clause is around £80m so there'd be no need to break Pogba's record to sign him.
This but possibly a year earlier.
Bale to United
Why do you think so?
Why would we pay more for him than you did when he's four years older? If he moves to United it will be for around £60m (€70m) I think.
Well, nothing in particular, just seems to me the only player who could meet the conditions.
In a couple of years Madrid will have to replace Cristiano/Benzema, perhaps with the new south american super star that we don´t know yet and it is very risky to put in that category to Gabriel Jesus or Gabigol (I think Dybala is not at that level either)
Griezmann clause is not high enough to be record.
I think in this thread I bet by Neymar-Madrid but now it´s very difficult. The clause is too high and should have happened before the renewal.
I do not see another midfielder beating the record. It happened with Pogba but the next should be a top goalscorer.
He is still young enough and for what I read in the forum United can afford it financially.
Summer 2018, for goal keepers, Donurramu, to Real Madrid
Pogba to Real Madrid in 2020.
Beckham to City.
Jesus Dave's really let himself go.
summer 2017, Veratti to United 90m
I reckon Neymar is most likely. Don't see too many others going for a world record fee. If not him then some kid we've not heard of yet who will be the next big thing in a few years.
Griezmann to United next summer.
EDIT: Just saw his 80mi clause, so no.
Don't think Verratti would break the record. So Neymar to somewhere else?

I hear Bebe has scored a few with inflation it could be him.
It doesn't appear that we can compete at the very top financial level anymore otherwise we'd surely be in for Neymar and Mbappe.
