Don't get too excited. We are all know Inter wants him. The issue is his wages unfortunately. If Sanchez refuses to take a pay cut, this ain't happening.

Yeah I just saw a post about that from someone who lives in Birmingham so hears these things apparently
Because them loaning and developing Januzaj for us worked out so well...
2 years left on a 20m a year deal. If they pay 10m and pay him half that money, subsidising the other half would save us 30m over the next two years. I could see something like that happening if they really want him. They've also got room to work with in that he'll pay less tax in Italy.
But scoring 6 and wining 6-5!
That was only Januzaj's fault according to Tuchel and Van Gaal had problems with him too.
Read somewhere they'll consider a swap deal. Interesting. Wouldn't mind a player from inter.
They were referring to Perisic. But again, the issue is still down to whether they can pay his full salary.
We are the only fanbase which goes crazy over any above average English players.
A lot of our fanbase will justify spending the same money on Grealish as what Chelsea will play for Havertz.
Grealish vs Havertz
Age 24 vs 21
7goals vs 12goals
16 chances vs 30 chances
Grealish wins on yellow cards 8 to 3.
Our fanbase needs to stop muppeting purely based of nationality.
What does chances mean because every stat I have seen has him much higher than 16. He also plays for a far worse team than havertz.
I think these are big chances created.
Playing for a worse team goes both ways as far as non-assist stats go.
You can ball hog as much as you want, take every setpiece and so on to pad up your absolute stats as an attacking midfielder.
He will probably at least double his wage (from 70 to 140 seems feasible enough considering what we already managed to clear out). The extention offer seems to be under that so money would be in our favour. If we get EL through the FA Cup i can see the negotiation ending up very close to that release clause. If we lose this weekend, i think he'll probably stay put unless an other english club drops a $ bag.
From all I’ve read, Grealish created about 2.7 chances per 90 vs 2.4 for Havertz. Grealish also plays in a league with far better teams ergo better defenses than the BuLi (also apparent just seeing the games). Moreover, he’s “PL proven” which (as a club we have bitter experience of this) does count for a fair bit.
I’m not saying Grealish will definitely be better but we’re trying to boost depth and Grealish is a ready article for about 50 Min whereas Havertz could well take time to settle and would cost a heck of a lot more.
Note that everyone has been saying 80 Mn would price Grealish out of a move and no fan I’ve seen has jumped up to say, “No! Pay what it takes” - and that’s the price Chelsea are happily paying for Havertz. So I’m not certain what you’re upset about.
No one has said they’d want him for that much money. The majority have even called 50 a bit too much, so no, I don’t think a lot of our fan base would justify that. Maguire has been one of the better defenders in the prem this season and every united fan is aware that we paid too much.
Thanks for the correction. I'll edit my post and add your response to it.
I'm guessing Amoyal's tweet may have to do with the fact that Juve could send Bernardeschi the other way to secure Milik.
Updates on Milan regarding Donnarumma, Ibra, and Bonaventura's contract negotiations:
Summary:

Summary:
- Milan are not likely to renew Bonaventura's contract.
- Milan have yet to submit offers to both Donnarumma and Ibra but will reach out to them with renewals.
- Bonus: Milan have been in touch with Aleksey Miranchuk's intermediary. They are still in negotiations with Lokomotiv Moscow.
- To lower the asking price, they are looking to add one of Diego Laxalt or Ricardo Rodriguez to the deal.
Havertz is also younger so more room for improvement.

They sell players to rivals over there pretty regularly. Think they don't give a feck in the end to be honest.
I'm not convinced by him at all. Rather we looked elsewhere.
Don't worry -- it's Miguel Delaney. You know more about who United are actually trying to sign than he does. And the same goes for anyone else with a working brain.
True I just seem to remember the Napoli fans being appalled that they sold Higuain. (I thought it was for the release clause as well). Dont think Juve could care less as they get what they want
I reckon Grealish is the Morata to Sancho’s Lukaku.
Higuain was their top player and they were chasing Juve at the time. That was understandable. Don't like them, but when it is about money, i think they realise that at some point it is a business and you sometimes do business with your enemies.True I just seem to remember the Napoli fans being appalled that they sold Higuain.

No one will care about Milik, as harsh as it sounds.
The "Set to step up interest" phase. Love it!
In what sense? All the talk has been about signing both, not one or the other.
Ah fair enough, for a second there I forgot you had Pepe and Auba technically plays on the wing too.
I actually think Leicester would want him more than Spurs. Spurs already have a few wingers and left wing is technically reserved for Son. But Zaha would be an upgrade on all the wingers Leicester have. He could even play centrally in place of Iheanacho/Perez, behind the striker.
As for resale value, if he has a couple decent seasons, I’m sure it’ll at least remain the same. Good, and might even increase higher than 40.

United making their plan B known in order to put a bit of pressure on Dortmund I would guess.
We would have better chance signing Dembele on loan.
How can you make use of a short-term option if he's always injured.
Not happening as we know there'll be more competition for Sancho next summer.
Woodward doesn't know anything about football
Really hope we do wrap him up this window though because you're right.
I can totally see Zorc and Watzke going 'Shhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiittttttteeeeeee, they're going to buy Coman. Let's quickly lower our demands!'. Uh huh...
Conversely — we’d be in an even stronger position if we keep our progression up? Solidify top 3 (by being less than 33 points behind Liverpool) and give a good showing of ourselves in the CL?
Just playing devils advocate, though. I think it’ll happen now and we’re just briefing other targets.
You don’t need to defend the honour of German football in every single post you make, you know?I wonder if there's Liverpool fans on a Bayern message board somewhere constantly sticking up for us.
