35m plus Dalot, perhaps 5m in add ons.

What was the source of those tweets? I don't remember seeing them posted on here.
I think you misread a tweet saying Varane and United have an agreement in principle?
Nail on the head.
I can't remember now. It was like 6 pages back or something.
Real Madrid wants to sell, we want to buy. No need to panic, they will agree soon.
Just pay the money, we need him ready for the first game of the season, not 3 or 4 games in. Forget his contract situation this is Varane, get it done
Pretty much this. And specifically because of the player profile and the importance that we upgrade this position.
Usually I’m all for bartering the price but this isn’t the one to be feckin around with really. Not over 5 mill Euro’s, it’s Varane ffs.
We're offering 40m, they want 70m, logic would suggest a 55m compromise. Pay the fecking money. Bargain of the summer.
If we think we are signing him for 40m were mad, no way they accept that.
What are we rumoured to have actually bid?
Straight swap with Jadon Sancho.
Real playing tricks as always, United negotiating every penny, Varane wants a move, Romano stirs his transfer pasta... still it's happening.
Thread changing name more than Sancho's. Big sign this.

Bid? You think we have made an official bid?
AS reported today we are willing to pay EUR 40m, it’s in the thread.

The way everybody is going on about us penny pinching sort of sets the tone that we’ve bid low or ‘willing’ to bid low as you put it.
Logic wouldn't suggest that at all. That's how you get ripped off. The guy has a market value based on age, contract left and quality. You have to work out what it is.
It’s always what the buyer is willing to pay. There is nothing else.

It'll happen it just might not be in the next big 56 hours.
Someone send him a copy of Over the Top, get him into Lincoln Hawk mode.
Love Romano - very objective journo and is my go to for updates on this story. He's right more often than not.
Raphael Varane for 55m is getting ripped off? I disagree. even with one year left on his contract that's a deal. We're apparently looking the same or more for Pogba.
We already agreed to paid €85 million in post COVID market for one of the biggest talents in Sancho, 25 more then 2nd biggest transfer this summer (Hakimi to PSG).
Feck them and their valuation of around €60-70 million for a player who wants to leave with a 1 year left on his contract as good as he could be for us (and as much as I would love to see him here). I would like to see another club who will give them that, plus what he wants in wages.
We have all the leverage here. 50 million + maybe some add-ons is more then fair. We would almost certainly accept something like that for Pogba.
Also, and by the look of things, we need and want to add another midfielder to the team, so 10-15 million can make a pretty big difference of adding one or not.

That’s my worry, it’s always been a one at a time scenario with us
Yes there is. Economics 101 is about supply and demand. At 50p the supply of Varanes is zero and demand is high (wages notwithstanding). You have to find the equilibrium price

Maybe it's because United is a serious club, as opposed to a Barcelona who would offer money they don't have.
I think we know the price, we’re generally happy to pay but we’re negotiating deals for Trippier and (hopefully) a midfielder and will pull the trigger when we have gentleman’s agreements on them. Maybe we’re waiting to see how Pogba pans out too.
We need two weeks to resolve paperwork with Sancho. This transfer will go to deadline
You actually believe the Sancho deal isn't done yet?
If this goes to the deadline, it simply won't happen. It's not going to deadline day though!
6months later than we should have signed him.
1 year later.
10 years after our first interest.
Until it's done we're all nervous.
Really curious how are they working? I'm sure Perez is sitting in his office at the Bernabeu, overlooking the stadium, having a fat cigar
Perez:' Dime, what did John say?'
His Assistant:'Senior Perez, senior John said they will give us 45 million y no mas. ?Senior?'
Perez (while puffing his fat cigar):'Hm... No! No possible. Yo quero SIXTY milliones. Habla to John to not bother me anymore today and try again tomorrow.'
70m all of a sudden?!
They're dreaming!
There is no fixed calculation for this marketplace, each item is unique and are not bars of soap, what we value Varane at might be entirely different to what another club will value him at.Yes there is. Economics 101 is about supply and demand. At 50p the supply of Varanes is zero and demand is high (wages notwithstanding). You have to find the equilibrium price
Yes it's more complicated but the principles apply. There is a market for world class centre backs which tells you Varane's rough value. Of course it's far from exact. But it's how we knew Sancho was over priced last year. Ed is just an accountant at the end of the day.
The hysteria here, when some shite jurnos including that chancer romano completely make up stories after stories and people believe them. I know this is a muppet thread but chill the heck out, 40mil. rejected, real want 70 what a nonsense, noone knows what exactly is going on. I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't get him in the end. It would be sad but I believe we can make things happen now with Fletcher and Murtogh being instructed by Ole he wants his players and Woody in his final purple patch.. We won't over pay like we were used to too. Think we are in a good position too.
Murtough is looking for a nakpin and a pen he can jot down a number on so he can slide it across the table to Perez.
Still feels like this isn't happening to be honest.
