Weird leak, a couple of hours after the third round of bids was announced. Maybe Qatar are secretly negotiating for him with PSG but he doesn’t fancy that league, and someone is saying there may be another option. If Liverpool are genuinely out of the race, it will boil down to three clubs. All probably having CL, City and Madrid being more obvious choices but United’s new owners might break the bank and bid €150m and put him on the same as wages as Rashford with £400k per week plus his best mate Sancho is at united, they used to room together at Dortmund.
The Glaziers are playing roulette with the club, the recent additional debt on their credit line means they have to pay this off to free up the £300m credit line for transfers this summer, hoping that the new owners value the club at £5.5-6bn and want to tie the deal up at the end of April with a bid nearer to £6bn than £5bn!
This will allow Qatari or SJR to spend £300m in the summer window on their own targets of which we know Bellingham is clearly one. Would I take him, in a heartbeat however the reality is he’s most likely off to Real Madrid but Dortmund won’t get anywhere near the value they want.
