[Welton Toffee]

"Everton arrives at the 19 million Moutinho João was never so next to if becoming player of the Everton. The cm knows that the English club is made use to make to arrive at the leonine SAD offers of 19 million euros - the last one was of 16 million -, to guarantee the competition of the still average one of the Sporting, club that continues intransigent in negotiating below of the 22 million. sources contactadas for the cm in England, guarantee exactly that the controller of toffees puts in charge to close the operation, intend to have everything concluded until the next a friday. ' The club sent has two days an emissary the Lisbon to deal with everything therefore considers Moutinho an investment prioritário' , it said one of the sources. After hearing one ' não' of responsible leonine after a first boarding for Moutinho, the emblem of Liverpool yielded in its proper intentions and accepted to increase the proposal. The cm selected despite this will have to be the last onslaught of toffees in what to the leonine captain it says respect, placing the decision at the hands of the Portuguese club and of the entrepreneur of the athlete, the Israeli, Pini Zahavi. Contactado for our periodical, Zahavi refused to make it any commentary on the possibility of Moutinho João to be able to still travel during this week for England. Another one of the targets of English clubs in Alvalade is Miguel Veloso. The medium is followed by the Tottenham that, as he notified the cm, an emissary to the Algarve sent to attend the meeting of Supertaça. The player `agradou' to the responsible native of London, who can come back Portugal, probably in the game of 2ª Day of Liga, in Braga."

Just got my friend to translate:

Basically we have offered 19 and they want 22. We have said its our last offer and we want an answer by Friday.

 

[Welton Toffee]

If that is the case I don't see why we don't just offer the asking price. I mean, what's 3m euros? About £2.2m by my reckoning. Peanuts.

Well not really, they have stated the price and if we meet that price they got nothing left to do, but accept it.
