As if Neymar would ever be leaving Barcelona anyway. They might as well try for Ronaldo instead, at least he's publicly said he wants to leave.

Fairly sure his release clause would make Neymar look like a bargain..
Surprisingly he didn't say 222%!
It would but Neymar is going no where. He'll stay at Barcelona until he goes the way of all Brazilian superstars and ends up playing for some second division French side or outside of Europe somewhere by the age of 30.
Inter can go to FIFA, have his contract terminated and the player banned until the end of it. Nope, Perisic isn't in a position where he can do much more than telling inter he wants to leave. He could try to make himself toxic for the dressing room i guess, or play like shit on purpose...still, it's up to inter. If they decide to make an example if him he'd be losing the final big financial years of his career...
Id take that as a double negative type situation, 200% made up of two 100%, so 100% staying - 100% not staying = 0% staying
It would be extremely excessive for Inter to do that but you never know, I guess. His agent should really be doing more in that case, he's paid to make transfers like this happen. He needs some lessons from Raiola!
Well, technically speaking, it should be 220%
Tottenham fans seem think so. Walker fell out of favour last season for some reason.
Perisic ain't even that much difference maker that he won't be replaced by any other player or put inters season into Jeopardy.
So much fuss for a player inot expected. They are just trying to hold him as a cash making property to bring in new players because of being strapped for it.
Because he was heading to City.

Both Nasri and Cesc left that summer lol.
Obviously that -going to FIFA- is the end game, it would only happen if the player decides to breach the contract. I mentioned it to make the point that the party with the most to lose in this situation is Perisic, not the clubs. So as long as long as he's under contract with inter, he has to at least nominally respect the contract(and inter)
Smokescreen
Seems that there's been an internal deadline for this transfer to happen.
However, since last year BVB fans won't take Watzke too seriously. If true it reduces the available striker options even more for Chelsea, Milan & Co.
One more striker off the market then. Only morata and belotti left. Have to say both us and arsenal have done a smart thing by solving our number 9 issue. Chelsea have to act fast or else they are in trouble.
Chelsea are running out of options. City won't sell Aguero, Morata will go to Milan by the looks of things... Belotti?
I think the opposite will happen. Belotti will be the one going to Milan while Chelsea will move for Morata.
Belotti ridiculous release clause for foreign clubs won't help him being sold outside Italy. Morata will be difficult but will be cheaper then Belotti anyway.
I hope they can't sign both and end with Batshuayi and Llorente or Benteke.
Ya, for now. Wait until there is a scramble later in the window once some of the bigs boys don't get their preferred toys.
Just need Morata to sign at Milan for the Chelsea meltdown to be complete. No way Belotti is worth €100m and Costa was partying in an Atleti short on his Instagram last week.
Blimey he may as well have said we're either going to sign him or we won't.
They always have the option if Belotti. You'd imagine that would be a very straightforward deal to do, if a little expensive.
I'm hearing from my sources that Perisic is 'probably' getting on the plane.
This means United may have been in touch, or they have not been in touch at all.
Please keep this info on here.
Thanks.

Yes, like I said only 2 left in morata and belotti. I don't think many clubs are willing to match Torino's price for him. It's similar to perisic deal, sounds straight forward but it is not.
Following on from the exciting news of our Tractor Partnership.....Perisic boards the flight to China...
but midway through the flight...
somewhere over Tibet the plane is suddenly flanked by 2 F22 Raptors....
What are those red markings on the Tailplane of the fighters?
The pilot of one of the raptors flicks up his mirrored visor to reveal.....
"Maverick" Woodward announces over the radio...."target locked"...."Firing Fox 44"
A flash of light and a briefcase full of cash is fired through the emergency exit of the plane....
Suddenly a grinning Perisic leaps out of the plane!
oh no!
he's falling to his doom....
Pow! a massive parachute unfurls with a Message printed on it....
Ivan Perisic...Brought to You by Qatar Airways... Proud new Airline partner of Manchester United!
"maverick" Woodward waxes his wings in celebration and begins to fly away....
"This is Maverick....target acquired....next waypoint North London...Full burn!"

The complications with Perisic are presumably a result of us haggling. No haggling with Torino - I could see Chelsea paying the full £89m late in the window, once all other options are exhausted.
