60 million to back up Modric and play when he is tired? Bloody hell
Madrid spent about 80 million in Illarramendi , Kovacic and Silva , who practically didn´t contribute anything so perhaps for 50 is not a bad choice, considering that he has quality, experience in la liga, and above all, watching the prices of the market. Modric is 31 and the season is very long.I wonder if he can play in Casemiro position

André Schürrle's transfer to Dortmund could be completed tomorrow. Wolfsburg wanted €35m, BVB offered €30m, final deal worth €32m. [bild]

They probably don't give a feck as the Spanish government is paying anyway.
Never understood why players are happy to go sit on their bench. Just because they're Real Madrid.

The likes of James, Morata, and Isco could go to any other big club in the world and be stars and nailed on starters but choose to be backups or rotation options at Madrid.

Andre Gomes is linked with several PL clubs where he'd start and be a featured player. Why go to Madrid's bench?

Because he's a nothing-special-unambitious-player.

Aye, I agree. Maybe they just like the prestige of being Real Madrid players. Paying 60 million for back-up to Modric seems daft.

If they want to sign bench warmers, I hear Julien Faubert is available on a free.

He wasn't even first choice at Wolfsburg.....then to buy him for that price is crazy.
The price is a too much, but I guess Tuchel wants to work with him again.

He turned Mkhitaryan's Dortmund career around, so maybe he'll be able to kick-start the careers of Gotze and Schurrle as well.

Just my opinion but i think it's a big risk to buy Götze and Schürrle for €60-65m....both are poor players since 3 years.

I think Zidane might be thinking he can develop Gomes as Modric's understudy as well as his cover, so you'll have a #8 ready when Modric is moved on.

Kovacic to Gotze to Shurrle, they are going a backward route in replacing Mkhitaryan.

I think they're signing both.

:lol: Wasn't this whole "direct payment to Raiola" thing dispelled ages ago? I know it's all rumour but it's been almost universally reported that he gets a decent % of any transfer fee and not a separate payment.

It means they are bidding 125m, 25m of which is going to his agent.
United are upping their price so none of it comes from Juves share. If this clause wasn't inserted then I assure you the fee would be 100m.

Agents do get their fees this we know, sometimes it's a cut of the fee and sometimes it's separate. Hazards agent got a big fee, so did Lucas Moura's off the top of my head.

The rumour on this one is when Raiola steered Pogba to joining Juventus they agreed to a clause where he gets a % of any future fee.

Don't know if its true but a lot of different outlets are reporting similar.

Arsenal fans scream out for a new CB and ST - Arsene wenger goes after a £2m rated 20 year old CB.

Rinse and repeat, each and every year.

Well if he meant that 25m is inclusive then it's a bit strange to put "+25m" - surely that means 25 more on top?
