Plenty of other wingers out there but think we see an opportunity here to get a higher calibre of player in than what we might ordinarily be able to. Right place right time sort of thing.
I'm happy for us to roll the dice and wait a bit to see...
He won't go Liverpool, they're buying Isak with Diaz money. Bayern won't sign him after signing Diaz.
Those are only 2 clubs linked with him other than us. We need to meet Lyon's valuation and then we might actually have a shot at getting this done.
We were in for Tete tbf but obviously got gazumped, other than him not sure what frees we would 100% want.
Think maybe they're waiting to see what loans become available/feasible towards the end of the window.
He has €60m release clause so can't be any higher than that. If I had to guess I would say we've offered around 30 with add ons and they're looking for more like 40.
Hopefully just a way of telling Sociedad we have other targets that we'll move onto if need be. Don't understand how any game-playing via the media like that actually helps, but all clubs and agents try and do it so who knows
