If that is €12m gross that Rüdiger is asking for then Bayern will have no issue paying that and letting Süle walk.
The "clean" from Meana seems to imply that the amount is net, not gross. At least, that's how I interpret it.

I thought about the „clean“ part as well but then i thought „nah, he can’t be asking for that much net.“
That’s his usual shite of running his mouth off, can’t be many suitors at the wages he wants.
The club should really hold out until they know who the next manager is and whether they want him, they would be mad not to imo.
Yeah, clean means net. In Spain 12 million net is 23 gross
Calm for him given the situation is playing into his hand. Our situation is a total chaos though.
Looks like Newcastle United are inquiring about every decent football director available in football.

Still not quite sure why we didn't sign Trippier, we were after him all summer then couldn't find the money for him, despite having a lot of sellable assets wasting away. Rice would've been incredibly difficult to pull off, probably will be even next year, they want over £100m for him and he's on a ridiculously long contract.
This is not far off the truth, Trippier and Rice would have bolstered us in ways Sancho and Ronaldo have not.
It would not have made any/much difference.
Still would've signed Ronaldo if given the chance, considering Cavani's injury record and Greenwood still looking a few years away. Sancho we could've missed out on considering he's already been relegated to a bench option and we have a plethora of young, talented wingers.
Those 2 additions complete our team and make it so there's no discernable weakness, not having them isn't the reason we're doing so badly though, the way we're setting up is one of the biggest culprits. Teams have figured a very effective way of beating us and we've not adapted to deal with it.
Yeah fair point, Ronaldo is a no-brainer but Sancho is a problem already, we signed a player for the bulk of our transfer budget in an area we were already reasonably strong in instead of addressing the massive issue in midfield and on the right side of our defence.
I guess we still haven't stopped signing players for their Instagram-ability instead of what we actually need.
Atletico wanted like £30m for Trippier and West Ham wanted £80-90m for Rice. That's probably why we didn't sign them.
Also turned out some of our assets like Lingard, Dalot etc. weren't that sellable.
A plethora? Do we really, Rashford and ....?
We know Greenwood isn't a winger he can play there but he's clearly still just a striker playing out wide looking for a shot almost every chance he gets. Martial can play there too to a lesser extent.
I acknowledged why we didn’t go for Rice, I still don’t there’s any excuse for signing Trippier though.
It was quite widely reported that teams wanted players like Lingard and Dalot, we just set the asking price too high, they aren’t the only ones though. We also blocked moves for van de Beek who doesn’t even look like a sub anymore. There’s also players like Martial, Bailly and Henderson that are barely featuring and would likely have suitors.
New York or Newcastle, not exactly a tough choice is it. One of the most vibrant cities in the world Vs Englands answer to mordor.
Diallo, Elanga. You absolutely have to include Greenwood in that list, he’s been our starting RW for 2 years and excelled in that position. We also had James who we sold to make room for Sancho too. That’s also not taking into consideration Pellistri who we signed for £10m.
More to the point we've not actually even played Sancho on the right anyway, he's played on the left for us far more often.
I was thinking just first team players. Elanga and Diallo are not ready, I have doubts Pellestri will ever play a game for us.
I include Greenwood as a wide option sure I just don't consider him a winger.
Fair enough Sancho hasn't played much on the right but I reckon that's been because of a perfect storm of adjusting to a new league, Rashfords injury, Ronaldo joining etc.
Only Dalot and Lingard were really being pitched around for sale though. No one wanted to pay money for Dalot bar maybe Dortmund by which time it was too late to get Trippier.
Lingard yeah teams wanted him sure but it was widely reported he wanted to stay for whatever reason.
Plus I reckon we could have afforded Trippier without sales. The club just deemed his price tag too high for 31 year old.

That Sun article was written by Neil Custis, by the way, who some of us (including I) would consider one of the more reliable Sun journalists covering United.

- Clubs interested in Pepi:
- Manchester City (move not imminent)
- Several Bundesliga clubs (like Wolfsburg)
- Dallas are looking for €10m
- Note: Stuttgart were close to signing Pepi in the summer, but the clubs could not agree on the fee
The Caf likes to meme on him, but I don't recall his articles being dismissed immediately too often. I remember when he wrote an article about us being close to signing Trippier in the summer, and people took that seriously (including I).

Falk refutes Antón Meana's report.
Rice and Trippier weren't going to improve the coaching, it's at a point right now where journos are just looking at every possible angle to give them an Ole/United headline for clicks and views.
Take the fecking €20m if it comes, board. You’re not that stupid that you’ll refuse, renegotiate or counteroffer that surely?
Well, some of us (including me) consider him to be a clown who's wrong 99.9% of the time, which indicates that he's really just a compulsive liar posing as a "journalist".
I think your description kinda covers 90% of journalists these days.
Sorry but it would be absolute lunacy to have paid the price Madrid were demanding for Trippier.
