He’s pulling ya plonker
I have a sneaky suspicion the fee will be a good bit lower than this 50m lark that’s being reported.
Nah I reckon it's closer to 60m euro's.
I'm going 55m euro's raising to 60m euro's with add-ons.
Oh sorry I think there’s been some confusion - I was talking to Rio (though I’m sure Crossy is a great guy).
You're missing the Spanish tax. They report in gross only so it's closer to £1m like Rado says
Pretty sure that's not correct and we'll find out when he signs
For 1m a week I'd rather not sign him.
All our top players will demand parity and then we're heading the way of the Barcelona school of finance management.

His pictures on his IG are literally flooded with ‘Come to United’ and ‘Welcome to Manchester United’ and nothing else 
I spoke to someone from the Jamaican delegation.
He has one year on his deal, is refusing to renew, will be demanding over 200k a week, is 28 years old, we’re the only bidder in town and Madrid have been hit by COVID like the rest of football. We’ll wait and see but I’d be absolutely flabbergasted if we bid anything close to 60m euros.
Oh I wasn't confused. I am bit now you've said you can talk to Rio by posting here. Does he read the caf transfer forums?
Flipping care free Jamaicans, using their chill attitudes to lull us into financial insecurity.
Not even Messi will be earning a million a week mate
People thinking we’re going to be paying 1m a week need to give their heads a wobble
Not even Messi will be earning a million a week mate
I would love to say that I trust the Glazers' tight-arsed personalities enough to know this will never happen, but then you look around and see De Gea on 350k a week, Martial on 250k a week, Lingard on 100 k a week...and a niggling doubt starts to come over you
Which bit isn't true?
"Varane is currently on holiday and will make a decision once he is back and has spoken to Real. He does not want to go against the club’s wishes after so long in the Spanish capital and will wait to see how discussions between Real and United unfold. Once Varane has held talks with Real the Spanish club will decide whether they are prepared to let him go and how much he would cost. "

It's all down to whether Madrid want to cash in or keep.
That doesnt say he will stay if they pay him more. Since its common knowledge he has been seeking to leave for about 2/3 years. So he’ll likely either leave this summer for a fee, or leave next summer for free
It doesnt say its down to if Madrid ups his wages though.
The wages are almost incidental, they have to offer him money since he has 1 year left. Going by reports it seems to be an aside, he really wants a new challenge
This is not this season 21/22 season starts August 14th finishes end of May players holiday June - July 22 then restart 22/23 season early August break middle of November 22 then World Cup end of November to December 22 ( United pampered players playing football in air conditioned stadiums where the temp is 28-35 degrees Celsius) , rather than snow, ice, rain and wind in Uk, yeah this is going to really upset them all !
He does not want to go against the club’s wishes after so long in the Spanish capital"". Translation: he will stay if they pay.
What other meaning could it have?
Ok, I guess the Gaurdian knows best
They won't pay, they can't afford it.
That he won't force a move this summer, if they decide not to sell.
These salaries are after tax so double that.
He can't force a move this summer. He is under contract. He's not going to sign a new one unless they pay. If they don't he leaves on a free. So it's still down to the accountants. Obviously Madrid want to keep him - it's purely a question of whether they will pay to do so. Sounds like they won't but who knows?
Hence respecting the club, not publically trying to force a move now or disrespect the club publically.
The context of the contractual situation and his wishes over that time is what you are missing.
This isn't even me saying he'll sign for United, I'm just saying he's been clear about wanting to leave for a new challenge for a couple of years.
Returning to training
Not exactly. Top rate tax in UK is 45%
He's quoting another source. Not sure why you're so angry at him.
If you read the article they are just saying he's returning to training as he's due back in training.
There's nothing in it like he's said he's going to go back or anything.

He’s going back to empty out his locker and telling them personally he wants to leave. The tweet word for word said he’s going back to the training ground? Never did it say he’s going back for training?
Not sure why you’re so quick to defend Jan, who is not reliable at all.
Why can't we ban this wanker. Bloody attention grabbing moron. Nothing in the article as @Withnail just said. Just taking things out of context to clickbait
But Jan is not saying it's his information.
