Replace Varane with Sancho and that’s the exact same tweet he kept putting out last summer - “Clubs are talking”. Nothing imminent here - Madrid will think we’ll cave on price before the opening game of the season and we’ll think they’ll cave before the end of the window.
The difference is that Madrid aren't saying he'll stay and they're widely reported to be wanting to sell. We also showed with Sancho that we're willing to wait a year. Whether we'd do that with Varane, I'm not sure.

Surely if they're wanting to push ahead with Mbappe this summer, they'll need to make space/get funds in. In this sense, I can see the reason why we think they'll cave.

Conversely, it would be good to have him in and integrated asap, especially as the new season is only a few weeks away. Even if we do end up paying closer to 50m, we're still getting him at a decent price/it sets a good precedent for any Pogba move.

Oh well it was nice while it lasted, now he's back in the Real Madrid environment I expect his love for the club will re-emerge and sign a new deal much like Ramos did in 2015 stating how he never wanted to leave

Deepthroating information to Howard Nurse.

Absolutely. Which is why unless they drop the price to our valuation we’ll be willing to take it to the wire. Hence why I don’t see this happening anytime soon.

Behind the right goal post as "Whiteside shoots!"
Yes!!! We know United have got money to spend, if they're not ready to go the extra mile on Varane then go buy Ben fecking White, at least he's an Euro finalist that's good at keeping the bench warm or better still wait on the next Duncan Edwards recanation to come out of injury, which I'm sure he'll make another comic face at the sight of conceeding a foolish goal.

The Choice is yours, Cough up the Money or no deal!!
I don’t get the ‘two clubs’ idea, ridiculous, but that (above) is not a Madrid AND United fan, not even close. That’s a Madrid fan taking the piss.

At least have the cajones to admit it.

We all love United
I thinks it’s pretty normal that a player would come into his first day of preseason and not train but to do medical checks and all those stuff first?

Just to get everyone excited...


Is he as quick as Maguire do we reckon? Close call.
Hmm, he's a very good player but he is a tad overrated on here.

You look through the CL matchday threads and they'll be very few posters praising his performances , especially in the season gone.

Yes he's better than Lindelof but I hope the reason he's looking for a new challenge is to rekindle his past form and performances.

If I was Real Madrid I'd be asking United if Pogba could be part of a swap deal with Varane.

Would you be happy if that was the case?

This deal is done. Goldbrigde is 90% sure he`s coming, and his probability calculations are top notch :)

Real wont pay his wages and I think Pogba+ Raiola is too much of a hassle to begin with for Perez, who I don't think rates him particularly highly anyway.
Plus, interms of playing position, where do you put Pogba ?

I dont think they can afford him. United would demand 10-20 millions on top, then you have agent fees and Pogba will demand 400-500k a week.

Do you pretend to be an United fan on Madrid forums or how does it work?
When are you a Madrid and when an United fan, it depends on the hour, day, month?
I hold my hands up, my post contradicts my claims due to mistypo with some words like "We'll" Instead of "he'll" in reference to Perez, Been a United fan since the Vodafone days of RVN also been a Madrid fan since the days of Ronaldo De lima too, in my country the two most watched Leauges are EPL & La Liga so i follow up both teams well enough to know a thing or two, My Bad if my initial post made you feels some type of way.

Varane has just reported back to training so I've read, I'm sure it's just to clear things up, it's only a matter of time before both clubs reach an agreement, my guess €55m.

Harder to explain the typos in this one, eh?

There's not a team in world football as it stands who wouldn't jump at the prospect of having either of them on their books.
Pogba's situation is very tricky, Him and fat boy would demand huge wage and agent fee, Madrid can't afford that now, but if There's a way to make him reduce his demands which is most unlikey, a swap deal would've been perfect.

I thought "bid rejected" happens only when you bid for PR. Normally I'd say there is an agreement between the clubs BEFORE the deal is submitted.
