Apparently his medical was going without a hitch until Sergio Ramos showed up and dropkicked his bad knee.

They still cant splash 300m on 2 players in one window. They usually strengthen the squad in other departments too.
Dybala can realistically only end up at PSG or Real though.
Nothing to see here. Lyon want to delay it to get it onto next seasons accounts and I reckon this is just covering their arses so they can’t be accused of manipulating the books.
Who the feck are these people and how would they know the internal financial strategy of lyon?
Barça are determined to sign the young French defender of Sevilla.
The arrival of Abidal does not change the plan and there may be agreement in a few days [md]
Does anyone know the potential ramifications of breaching FFP?
"Antoine Griezmann and Clement Lenglet will be at Barcelona next season: this was the guarantee given to Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde by sporting director Pep Segura at a recent dinner meeting, according to a report by Catalunya Radio."
Why’s that drivel? It’s exactly the reason that Monaco loaned Mbappe to PSG for a season rather than sold him officially last season. The transfer fee is amortised over 5 seasons and it’s better to actually spread it over the years than have one rich year followed by some fallow years as it allows for a better average net income and more freedom to spend it.
I reckon this medical business is nonsense, it’s a done deal and the delay is to give a genuine reason rather than be seen to be cooking the books.
Yeah ofc we were interested....
Given what Mitten said in his article I wouldn’t find it completely unbelievable that we were feeding his agent crumbs to a deal as a third or fourth option in midfield if we weren’t signing Fred. Of course i’m also aware of the typical Benfica bullshit like Gaitan when getting interest at good prices for their players.
I think we can all agree Roma won today's Twitter transfers . I'm now a fan of Roma Twitter machine
I read somewhere that Olympique Lyon is listed as a publicly traded entity and any information that affects their stock price cannot be shared prior to it's completion. That's why the delays. Not sure if this is a 100% truth.
I'd have thought the markets would price in the Fekir money into the club after the BBC report though. (if the move were to affect it at all)
he's 31, i don't know if any team would consider gambling on that with the transfer fee and wages. I would welcome him as #2 striker and winger option to our club though, he would push Lukaku in the #1 role and the perfect plan B option. The guy works like a horse, Jose would love him.
If PSG needs to sell players to meet FFP, I like to see us put in a lowball offer.
I think he would bench Lukaku tbh, far better player.
I would think Cavani would move to Chelsea with Morata moving back to Juve? This would allow Dybala to move to PSG.
Why Dybala move to PSG barring money? I cant see it happening unless Dybala just another Oscar.
huh? Don't quite get the comparison, Oscar moved to China, PSG are the best team in France, in a great city, with a chance of winning the CL. Silly thing to say.
If breached it will mean that they'll be punished accordingly and ordered to buy Messi, Ronaldo and Bale for 7,85 billion euro. [Times]
I disagree. Cavani is a fantastic player but no way is he FAR better than Lukaku. One area he is definitely not better than Lukaku in is finishing. Cavani is notorious for missing a fair share of easy chances.
His movement is miles better, he misses alot but he also creates most of his chances himself through his movement.
Both top players with different attributes. Cavani as you say his movement and work rate far outweigh Lukaku but Lukakus a better finisher and more dangerous coming in with the ball from wide (right especially).
Their financial year almost certainly won't run from the start of the transfer window, so there's no reason to delay it till the start so that it's included in the years records.
I know right.
Imagine having a young keeper on your books for years and repeatedly sending him out on loan to get games instead of reserve team football.
Can't believe he's leaving Chelsea
. I guess we all knew that the day would come sometime but, wow, end of an era.Except most people have heard of Sam Johnstone and he almost helped Aston Villa get promoted. The Chelsea guy is unknown and has done nothing of note, or if he has, no one knows about it.
No, in France we have the DNCG. Clubs have to communicate their finances for the current season by March 15 and the following season by May 15 but the actual end of the current exercise is June 30.
Biggest shock of the summer City not adding another expensive defender.
