Exactly this. I’d actually guess 4-5 years at 350-400k per week.
From what I have read Alaba is a little tired of being central back (although in his last statements he says that he does not care). Perhaps I would prefer to see him in the midfield.
Well good luck to you guys next season
I agree that. So I guess the question is who suits us best. Or more precicely, who suits Maguire and how we want to play.
We also have to consider if we're going for Sancho, he's going to be on some big wages as well, so it would pretty much empty the bank both of these signings. I do see the reticence to dive in on this one, as much as I think he'd be perfect for us.
Thanks for explaining. For me name-wise it's Varane but think Torres would suit us best.

Long Saga? Utd involved? NEVER!
A nice change from all those out-of-nowhere quick, swift deals. Like me a good old 2 month saga
I’m not fully aboard yet, I’m not watching the thread, but I am checking it occasionally.
Wait til Murtough kicks your door down and screams "tickets please" in your face
Yeah when people stop reacting, there's still fools on here who think Sancho might end up at Chelsea ffs!
To be fair though, I care a whole lot less about this deal than the Sancho one. With Sancho we have never realistically looked at other targets but with Varane he is one of half a dozen names for the position that probably represent an upgrade, if it looks tricky hopefully we will tell Madrid to stuff it and move on to someone else.
Yeah i agree to be fair.
We can afford him, I'd say if we get Sancho we're almost nailed on to get Varane.
I don't see how the two transfers are even remotely connected. We're signing Sancho. I don't see how that means we'll get Varane? We've got the money for Varane, but thats probably not where this transfer falls down, its him signing a new Real contract or going somewhere else.
The reason I say they're connected is because you don't land a player like Varane without a team that's challenging for top honours. Signing Sancho shows how serious we are, if we then sign Varane, we'll be incredibly attractive to most big players.
Sancho will come on quite big wages and a big transfer fee. Varane is going to be big wages, so the fee would need to be pretty knocked down for us to afford both without having sold anyone yet. It's a huge outlay for both transfers, so I think if we did get those two, that would be it for the window.
I wouldn't be surprised if we picked up 1 more player but I'd be extremely happy with Sancho and Varane. That'd be a fantastic summer.

And Grealish.My dream summer would have been Varane, Sancho and Rice. Obviously that would be too expensive but 2/3 would be fantastic should we pull it off!
Would still spend the duration of the summer quietly wishing that there is some funds floating around to get a decent DM though
Yeah absolutelyAnd Grealish.
Stick him on the tab too as a "sorry for being cnuts and trying to destroy the football pyramid, please stop blocking our team bus" bonus!Personally I’d expect Pogba to be more important. If he stays Varane will sign.
Varane Sanco and someone like Camavinga or Touchmeni isn't unrealistic though! We seem to have highlighted those positions so hopefully we can get the two top targets and be smart to buy a less expensive option in place of Rice. However Garner and Hannibal aren't too far off either. Hopefully we could hijack the deal for Locatelli. But Italian players love Italy unfortunately. But their are plenty of options out there in place of Rice.My dream summer would have been Varane, Sancho and Rice. Obviously that would be too expensive but 2/3 would be fantastic should we pull it off!

He’s black Colin.
