Leipzig going after raw yet promising players as usual
I can categorically tell you we will be linked with both all summer and won’t get either, whilst all other clubs around us hoover up decent options.
I think a couple of Premier League clubs were interested in Simy, too, so they've got some added competition with three Italian clubs going after him.
I’d have taken them all at United except Garcia.
No way is the asset value the buyout clause. That is so much higher than the cost, resale value, or value in use that it’d need impairment.
In a non-corrupt world, sure, but I'm convinced that some clever accounting based on these kinds of figures is going to keep Barca afloat this fiscal.
Don't know, there must be special rules for football clubs.
I'd have taken Aguero and maybe Depay. Not sure we'd have room for Donna.
The guy has some air miles in the bank.
I feel like this might be a bit of a mistake, Tomori is a good player in my opinion.
I don’t get this type of comment. We have consistently bought big name players even after our worst seasons.
Pogba in 2016
Lukaku in 2017
Maguire in 2019
Bruno in 2020
You can argue about their relative success but typically we should be expecting at least one big signing.
The two years without an obvious big signing were Mourinhos tumultuous last summer and then the pandemic window. Both are good reasons for failing to invest those years.
I was watching Tomori in the championship for Hull City a couple of years ago. He wasn’t even the best Chelsea loanee at the club. If you told me then he’d be off to Milan for 28M in a few years I’d have probably lost bowel control laughing
That’s the point. Set it at a price which won’t be activated.
He's had a decent season in Serie A, mind
Youngsters all develop at different rates, not everyone bursts on to the scene like Rashford.
Bruno wasnt a big name player, Maguire arguably wasnt either
Freebie FC
If Ole contract run out, I wonder whether they would take him as manager next season
Donnarumma has higher potential than Marc-André ter Stegen. Also since Donnarumma is very young, he has long career ahead. Acquiring Donnarumma now, then they can sell Marc-André ter Stegen for a good fee to balance the book for these 2 transfers.
They're just denying the rumour until the wrapping up Donnarumma, as not to rock the boat for Marc-André ter Stegen. Losing your no 1 before acquiring his replacement would put them at disadvantage in negotiation.
Romano claimed that CR7 earns annually 30m net in euros !!!! Ole should not be considering him if that is wage he'll demand

Any deal would surely involve a pay off from juve and a reduction in wage demands ala Sanchez when he went to inter. Ronnie wants out so possible.
if he can accept a 250K weekly maybe, currently he gets close to 500k weekly, not sure he would accept a reduction to come here. let's see
I don't know what is crooked in this clause.
Their financial problems have nothing to do with how much their squad worth is and you do not increase the value of the club buy putting some contract clauses in. When it comes to accounting he will be shown as zero amortisation, so if they sell a striker, for 40mil (or some other price) they will show a plus of 40mil (or some othe number), instead of less had they paid some money for Aguerro.
This will be my last post on this subject in this topic, as it is totally offtopic

Thanks for telling us that categorically.
Most players surely accept that they will eventually have to lower wage demands as they get older. It’s the nature of the game- Ronaldo surely knows that. His bargaining power in terms of contract value decreases with each month that passes.
Good. I don’t watch Serie A but I’m pleased for the lad
oh god yeah I quite agree. Safe to say it didn’t look too likely at the time. Mind you....we’re a demanding crowd down the KCom
Aina was the one who looked like he had something about him and tbf he was playing premier league last season with Fulham.Don’t tease me about Haaland like this Sky Sports!!!
Isn’t that German Sky Sport? Who are pretty unreliable.
This is the Italian one, which is quite reliable. With that said, even the German one's fairly reliable, at least more so than the English one.
Yeah that's Sky Italy. I personally don't see Haaland moving this summer. Dortmund will sell Sancho and keep Haaland for another year.
Yeah, I see it the same way. Unless a club comes in with a mouth-watering package, I don't see Dortmund selling Haaland this summer. He'll be needed to help Dortmund qualify for the CL again whilst having Rose settle in and establish himself.
The release clause is the figure they have to sell him for (same as any player in Spain has to have one).
An asset value doesn't have to match that. "We think he's worth £30m but won't be made to sell him unless someone offers £50m" for example?
Yeah I'm not expecting a dollar for dollar match but certainly it has to lend itself to a bit of inflation on the player's value. Why else would you put that large of a clause in for a soon to be 33 year old?
