Yes. Was once highly rated though, was out of favour and transfer listed by the time Chelsea got their hands on him.
Different situation to Felix who they are struggling to pay wages to and does not get on with the manager at all.

We should be getting him cheap then....what are they playing at?
I think we need him tbh. Elanga is not great, Sancho is missing in action, Pellestri unproven, Garnacho still raw, this leaves a lot of pressure on Antony, Rashford and Martial as our forward line.
Add to the fact Antony seems inconsistent and Martial injury prone, we are looking at Rashford carrying our season right now.

Negotiation tactic imo. Think we'll get him for a small loan fee and his wages covered.
I am not against the idea but it always seems very hard for us to get a cheap deal from a Spanish club.
Those numbers are truly astronomical. Crazy
Yeah, no.
At that point it's better for clubs to just buy good players and loan them out like books
the only way i'd pay 15m now is to have a guarantee of a purchase in the summer if we wanted it.
It's fair to say if this is what they want, it'll not happen anywhere near the start of Jan.

The £15m would also have to be deducted off the price.
If not for anything else, I'd say we get this guy just so Arsenal doesn't get him. Even though he's not a 1-to-1 replacement for Jesus, I think he'd really bolster their title winning chances.
Yeah. Say 15 now, then maybe 65 in the summer.
Atletico want to try get 15 now then 120 again in the summer
Simeone loved his defenders so we should package up Lindelof as an action defender and offer him in part exchange
why would we want to help City win the league though?
Everybody keeps mentioning the wages it’s a bit bizarre he’s a 100m player he will be on good money
If we can negotiate the 15m loan fee down a bit I don’t see a problem. It’s annoying as people choose to report fee based around wages, Chelsea’s move for Fernandez will probably be a 200m move if you was to include his contract but you don’t see that being reported.

He's not exactly a prolific goal scorer, is he?
I doubt he'd score more than half a dozen in the 2nd half of the season.
I'm editing that, maybe a handful of goals, if we're lucky.

considering Atletico played Griez for 30 mins in the beginning of the season till Barca bulged on the transfer fee I seriously doubt they will let their biggest buy go or even loaned out on the cheap.
He’s far from what we need too.
Hope we don't waste all of Jan trying to negotiate with Atletico as I agree with others they will be hard to work with. Also he doesn't bring anything particularly different to what we have, would prefer a punt on Thuram at this point.
Get him in, loan out Elanga and get a striker in on top 
It must be a slow news day in Spain
Should proceed only if they are selling now for 60-70m. Loan deal is BS.
So he’s destined to leave this month, they’re waiting for our final action to seal the deal, but he could also stay put.
Well I’m glad Moretto has his ear to the ground.

Is that your chat up line in the red light district?
He'd be good solution for next 6 months, but how Felix fits in this United team in long-term? He's a second striker, would he be false 9 for us or something? We've got Bruno for attacking midfield position, we've got Rashford for LW.

Even then it’s too much.
From any club, you mean
I think this’ll happen late in the window for a reasonable loan fee, maybe it’s just wishful thinking though.
Why people are saying Cody Gakpo as not the suitable player yet pushing more for Joao.
Both are not an out and out striker.
Kolo Muani impressed me more than Marcus Thuram.
Pacy with lovely feet and decent height, a bit of skinny build but deceptively strong.
Eintracht Frankfurt were really lucky to get him on a free transfer.

How could anyone justify paying that amount for a short loan? Why are they loaning him anyway?
They may as well just sell him if that's the asking price to rent him out for half a season.

Other than the fact that it would also benefit us, is that I would rather they win it than Arsenal (who is an actual rival).
€15m fee + €6m wages for 6 months is fuking assinine......Cholo must be smoking some damn good shit in madrid
Think it was Koke who was very highly rated a few years back but clearly fell away. AM are a big side in Spain so the only reason they would be loaning their "big" players is because they are underperforming and they are trying to get rid. Felix can be quality but clearly isn't doing the business for them.
City are more of a rival for me, but each to their own
We need at least an option in the summer for this to be worth while. That said I’d love to see him in United red.
15m and we get to keep him until the end of next season would be a fair price imo.
This would make more sense
