Isn't it? It was reported by Kicker, which usually is a reliable German source.
From somebody who speaks directly to the owner and director of football " I doubt the fee is anywhere near accurate."I didn't make a wider point about Brentford. I just think that paying €25m for a fringe player of Freiburg, who had one start all season in the league, upping their transfer record by about €25m is silly. And I'm assuming it's €25m, because Kicker reported it and they are usually very reliable.
I guess with a number of performance related "add ons" it might get up to large fee but no chance Freiburg are getting 25m in their bank when it is made permanent.
Thing is our purchases are not done without comprehensive research - I mean look at Vitaly Janelt, apparently Bochum couldn't believe we wanted him he is now a regular starter in the Premier League. Which was why I responded to the dumb with their money bit
