Marca are reporting a £57.8m fee, or 75m Euros. No excuse for not paying that IMO, the guy has outrageous talent at a very young age for a striker and plenty of resale value.
I'm not sure I'd say he has 'outrageous talent'. He can shift pretty quickly and carries the ball prerty well, albeit a bit haphazardly. It's his touch and decision making in the box that put me off saying he's something special. He frequently looks clumsy and indecisive. For me he lacks intelligence and I think it shows in his lack of subtlety in front of goal and awareness of what's around him. I think that's why he hasn't nailed down the spot at Juve and why his numbers aren't great.
I'm not saying I'd turn him down; he's obviously a dangerous attacker, but I'm not convinced, as others seem to be, that he's gonna grow into a world class scorer of goals with a season or two of playing as a big club's Number 9.
£60m is an awful lot of money, we talk about resale value but it's all based around him realising potential that I don't think is there. I think it'd be a massive gamble for us.
