It's worth considering that players are only as expensive as the fee they actually get sold for. Maybe Pepe is theoretically worth £70 million, but that's a huge chunk out of Bayern's funds too. I don't see them paying that much for him, and I don't really see anyone else do it either. I might be wrong, I didn't think City would pay the kind of money they did for Mahrez last summer, but they are an outlier in this context. More often than not good footballers still leave for affordable fees unless someone is absolutely hellbent on signing them at any cost, like Liverpool with van Dijk and Alisson.
That's true, given that they already spent so much on Lucas, Pavard and still wants Havertz, Hudson-Odoi, De Ligt, Jovic, Werner etc. They can't have it all.
