The player wants out no doubt.
If LVG was still the manager he'd be all over that, finally a left footed CB! And I'm pretty sure he tried to sign him for us once already?
The philosophy vibes would be so strong he'd feel as giddy as a pedo stuck on the spinning teacups at Disneyland.
This. I suspect this story keeps popping up as we've probably told Bale's entourage 'Listen, we're not going to bid for you but we're ready to bid if you feel like leaving Madrid'. So then we do our annual check up on him and move along but the media keep riding the wave.
Douglas Costa says Pep's not allowed to sign Bayern players
Marquinhos on his future
Aubameyang will be a huge success.
£60m seems about right for me. Top player obviously and has gone 1 in 3, 1 in 2 and almost 1 for 1 in the last 3 seasons so the trajectory is promising for another big season. 27 next week - I'd want another season of big numbers for a world record fee.
Can someone who is a Spanish speaker please translate?
EDIT: Nevermind. Mourinho going for Moratta 60m Euros
No. Not going to happen.
£55m on paper
probably another £35m that finds its way in Dortmund Pockets through various dubious constructions set up by that oil club
They can afford to pay whatever Dortmund is asking, only problem is the figure on the contract that goes in the books can't be too big because they will have problems with FFP
Real's mouthpiece Marca just want some club to pay the ridiculous figues being thrown around for Morata – in this case I bet they are just making things up. €60m for Morata 
They won't have problems with FFP. New TV money, Champions league and not to mention we've spent much more money than they did last few seasons.
James: "I've always wanted to stay at Madrid"
According to VI, Ronald Koeman has confirmed to them his move to Everton should be finalised today
Wish we'd jump on this.
Castles says Bailly is done for an initial €35m, subject to work permit.
The "Zlatan waits for loyalty bonus" stories are in all papers, so I reckon someone has briefed them... Telegraph running with it as well.
And Mkhitaryan rejecting a new contract leaving him in a position to move as well.
They would simply reload with all the cash they would get from their transfers. You could probably build a club from the ground up with what they may get for Aubameyang alone.
What with £55m-£60m (the figure widely quoted by many reliable papers)? That builds a club nowadays does it?
I think it would be closer to 70 but to answer your question....yes, for example over time, you could build the spine of the Premier League champions.
Jamie Vardy - £1,000,000 19
Shinji Okazaki - £7,000,000

Riyad Mahrez Le Havre £560,000
Yes of course Leicester city are clearly an example that can be followed and not an anomaly at all. Have you seen the going rate for average/even unproven players nowadays? You know well that a team like Dortmund won't have the years it'll take to rebuild by taking punts on players like Leicester, they would need to go after a different caliber of players and that comes at a high cost. Selling their best player in this market for £60m is a stupid move.
Okazaki twice there.
Unless they have the replacement lined up.
Yeah forgot about that one. Very strange if they lose 3 of their top players and then willingly sell arguably their best player on top of that.
In the prem it would be pretty hard unless you do a leicester; but when you think what players seem to move around for outside the prem. I don't see why not. Dortmund have already got Dembele, Bartra, Rode, all pretty cheap.
Not saying he won't be. But whether he makes them anymore dangerous is moot. The phrase too many cooks can spoil the broth, comes to mind...
Even if you discount the Leicester example - there are loads of quality under the radar players that can be bought from smaller clubs at very good prices. Dortmund themselves are very good at this. 60m could get about 4 good players and that's not counting what they bring in from additional transfers.
Indeed. However, Auba apparently is not happy at all those players leaving which means Dortmund is a weakened. He apparently had talks with management over this.
Ok so Ducker also got this briefing from City. I'd wager City's lying to Ducker though.
They're not going to be able to replace a player of his level in his prime for anything like a reasonable fee because anyone who is proven will go for a similar amount. The replacement isn't a guarantee to settle in and perform at his level either. I don't see why Dortmund would sell him at that fee in this current market. He's got a contract until 2020, they hold all the cards.
