It depends on what report you believe, Bruno was always rumored to be 50M, suddenly in january some, doubtful reports, were saying Sporting wanted 70M. At the end we got him for 50M which was what he was initially quoted in the summer.Not true. We waited 6 months for Bruno and got him for significantly less than the initial asking price.
I think Woodward and club should employ brinksmanship, but it does require us to walk away, if required.
Dortmund are talking shit through, no way they will let Sancho value slip by £50m by delaying transfer for another year. No chance at all.
That would be pretty much the same as walking away from a 120M deal right now, then signing him for that 120M next window but claiming they wanted 150M.
The truth is that we are shity negociators and the fact that we are in a desperate position to land specific players while being one of the richest clubs in the world certainly doesnt help.
