Yeah I suppose if he comes and develops into one of the best defenders in the world, no-one will ever mention his price, but it's a very, very steep price to pay for a relatively unproven player.
Yep. Like you said, if Fofana comes in and quickly develops into one of the leading CBs in the league nobody will care how much he cost but then again that was the thinking behind the Kepa transfer as well.

"If he becomes one of the best GKs in the league for the next ten years, who cares if he cost a world record price for a keeper?" was a line I remember hearing many times back in the summer of 2018 and look how well that turned out. :nervous:

Four years later Kepa is still impossible to sell and hasn't been of any use to the team in more than two years. Maybe with an outfield player it's a little different but the risk is still huge. As long as Fofana is not demanding absurd wages I'd probably still take the risk because there aren't many better options out there and our team desperately needs another CB signed but the risk shouldn't be understated.

The number one option to replace Gonçalo Guedes is Bryan Gil.

The board wants him back and Gattuso considers him the ideal reinforcement for the flank. Valencia want to move forward and bring him in as soon as possible. The name is Gil.

Olympiakos, Celtic and two teams from La Liga, the first to move for Álex Collado.

The academy player would like to play in European competition, although he is also attracted to La Liga, after his good performance at Granada.

Although details are yet to be finalised, a deal is close for Gio Lo Celso to return to Villarreal.
Talks are underway for the talented Argentine to return to the club on a one-year loan with option/obligation to buy from Tottenham.

  • West Ham are paying part of Vlasic's wages in order to loan him out to Torino.
  • West Ham are also open to offers for Saïd Benrahma.

Newcastle interested in Gonçalo Ramos. The English will move forward with a proposal in the coming days. Benfica can sell the Portuguese striker for more than 30 million Euros.
