The latest from Italian media is coalescing around a claim that Everton have officially submitted a bid totaling 35 million Euro structured as a loan with an obligation to buy. Juventus have been pushing hard to replace him with Morten...

That's what I keep saying!

If true you'd think they'll end up in the middle and it'll end up being an option that turns into an obligation if he reaches a certain number of starts

I don't think a loan with an obligation to buy is the same as a free. I think it's more accurate to say they would sign him on a free transfer if he agreed to new terms. It doesn't make sense to pay him £90k a week for three years, and it doesn't...

Harrison had his agents reaching out to MLS clubs to hold "exploratory talks" to try to find someone willing to meet his wages. He would do well in that league, and there are a few teams willing to spend that kind of money. It was his best option...

I’ve been posting about this for a while now that it doesn’t make sense for anyone, going in depth on the economics of it. My “best case” scenario for anyone who thinks this is realistic would start at £12 million minimum in fees and wages for...

This is one that should go through very quickly as it suits all partys.

You've done well digging this out mate. But for me every season we get Italians spinning stories and they very rarely happen. On the face of it ( never heard of this Balzarini before you mentioned him ) he looks close to Juve's dealings.So there...

Balzarini sounds sure it’s happening. They’re just haggling over the structure. He doesn’t mention any competition, so it seems like a normal part of the process.

The 10M loan fee is pretty close to his estimated annual salary, so maybe that's a clue as to Juve's thinking.- have hos wages covered for the season and then get a good amount of the original fee back nrxt year when there's another few mil off...

Everton are only interested in him for free, which means Leeds taking a PSR loss and voiding his contract and Everton negotiating a new contract. It's really not worth the effort.

The first hint of Barry outside of a poster here saying we should be looking at him (ca. May, I think?) was Harry Watkinson at TeamTalk, who used to work for the club writing match reports. He definitely got a leak on that one, because he beat...

Perfectly timed thread saver there @den

Someone chime in and correct me, but based on this and the previous video, it sounds like Balzarini is saying that there would be a 10 million Euro loan fee with either a 30 million option (Everton's preference) or a 30 million Euro obligation...

Here's the latest from Gianni Balzarini, who is a reliable source on Juventus, starting at 4:46: Italian transcript A rough translation: Welcome to Everton, Dougie!
