Wonder how they’ll disguise this on the FFP accounts. Probably an Etihad condom sponsorship worth £300million/ year should cover it.

Sterling to Spurs is obviously a no go, isn't he on like 300k* a week at City?
Laporte is on a meagre 120k* pw, while Gabriel hasn't had a payrise since joining on 90k* a week
All three players would probably want a payrise to play at Spurs, so that's definitely a no for Sterling, while Laporte would be their top earner making Son cry** with Gabriel looking for similar to Son.
*officially.
**Again.

After spending over 1bn and having to boldness to try claim he can't spend what other clubs do how will Cashiola try disguise his latest drive towards buying a CL at any cost?
United propose a Pogba Varane swap but Madrid prefer money. Madrid want money to sign Mbappe.

Was hopeful this is a deal the club could do.

I think he's better than that. Probably not good enough for a team that wants to win the CL but more than good enough at a PL / top four level.He'll probably never start at City if Kane goes there. Pep also seems to trust KdB + B. Silva as forwards rather than Jesus which is pretty damning.
That article mentions that United won't be willing to spend more than 30-40 million Euros to get Varane. That makes no sense to me if we go by what MEN have published (including Rich Fay's most recent article).
Value Laporte at £160m.
There seems like a compromise will be made then surely. They want 50 MIl euros, we want to pay 40 Mil max. Settle on 45 Mil and everyone wins.
Maybe Jesus the other way? Cue jokes...
Did we do it just to poke Raiola abit would be so funny after all this posturing that Pogba isnt all that anyway
That's again why he is the worst chairman in the league.
Both Luckhurst and Rich Fay have mentioned that United had a 50-million-Pound bid rejected by Real Madrid. They're apparently looking for 80 million Pounds from us. This goes completely against everything that's being reported by José Félix Díaz and Deportes Cuatro. At this point, maybe Luckhurst and the MEN are incorrect given that no one else reliable in England has reported a bid for Varane. On top of that, Romano would have certainly been on top of the news if we did indeed make a bid.
I read it and took it as you did.
Bear in mind the suggestion of United offering a Varane/ Pogba swap is coming from a Madrid outlet. It's possible that the suggestion has been made but United are looking for cash plus Varane and Madrid want a straight swap. Hence the suggestion that it is United seeking this deal. If Varane wants to come to PL then I think a swap deal of some sorts will happen.
Damn, that would have been a good bit of business. I'm not sold Varane wants to come here though. I doub't Pogba is giving us a glaring review.

The reason why Spurs deny any offer was made to them: City proposed the offer to Kane's camp.
- 85 million Pounds guaranteed
- 15 million Pounds in add-ons
- First refusal on players who are for sale (i.e. they aren't directly included in the 100-million-Pound package)
We should be all over this kid, he has better numbers than Haaland in the austrian bundesliga.
Easy. Varane-Pogba swap, then Pogba plus cash for Mbappe.
And don't give me any of that "this isn't Championship Manager" nonsense (otherwise I'd take over PSG and Madrid and swap Varane for Jones and Mbappe for Martial).
weird to do isnt it? He would be a very good Haaland replacement next year
That tells me that Dortmund don't rate him as highly as most people. Honestly, I'm with them; I don't know if he'll become as good as some are making him out to be.
Isak already said he isn't interested in going back to Dortmund
Or they realise He wouldn't want to come back to them and their Buy out clause isn't that much of a use to them so they have have decided to monetize it when the opportunity arose for them just speculating of course.
Yeah, that too; he has had his best football at Real Sociedad, to be fair.

A Varane-Pogba swap is very underwhelming for me. Real Madrid gets the better deal and easily the better player
Anyone else think they should just call his bluff?
The greedy little bastard hardly wants to bother uprooted his family to play somewhere else at this stage and I can't really see anyone willing to meet his wage demands.
I agree. Ole was clear in an interview before the summer that it was important to strengthen, but also keep our best players. That was in a direct response to Pogba. Ideally we want to keep is my guess. All depends on the contractual situation.
Would you rather get Varane now, 40 million now from PSG or let him leave for free next year?
There is only one winner there for me. We aren’t getting more money at this stage and even then, it wouldn’t buy a CB of Varane’s class
Especially as we have zero depth in midfield but still like half a dozen CB.
Thats really not the point is it?
Do you rather want to pay €50 m for Varane and lose Pogba on a free next year then?
