JazzG I think they will likely prioritise a mandatory permanent fee so if we can negotiate that down to 70-80m it will still be a good deal considering how valuable Felix is and potentially as well. That's the going rate for top young players and Felix is better potential than Nkunku.
Leagues are won on firepower so if we have a Felix + Mudryk we can hold off the CM problem till the summer again. But if we want Danilo we have to get it done in January to avoid those mid-season crap again.
