Clrnc they’ve already paid Juve £10-15m in loan fees - fairly sure they’ll have a preferential treatment clause
city in talks for gvardiol at 100m. I'd be surprised if they also dropped 100m on rice. 200m on 2 players in the same window isn't really their MO, strange as it sounds
City are loaded now though , that treble made them a lot of extra money
and they might have a few big names leaving (gundo, bernardo, walker, mahrez) so maybe they do splurge a bit
Why would he go there in his prime? Career suicide
Clrnc money.
£47m. Yikes
Pepe LeFrits Neves for £47m doesn't seem that crazy when Rice and Caicedo are going for £100m
No wonder Lopetegui is willing to stay. Dodgy AF

He's down to a year.
Nothing to see here, move along.....
JazzG City will just sell Gundogan to the Sheikh's brother for 500million, and FFP is settled.
JazzG
What a waste, 26 year old and think he'd do a job at a decent team. Bet his agent making a killing off this....
JazzG reminds me of when Carrasco moved to China at age 25. I’m sure he feels like a pioneer. Good for him if he enjoys it.
Saudi bought all of golf. I bet they’re confident they can buy football as well.
JazzG Bet his agent making a killing off this..
That was my first thought too. Agents will be licking their lips even more. There are some real bottom feeders wherever there is a lot of money.
Claudius The China stuff eventually died off but the Saudi's making a lot bigger effort to bring in top players. When they're 30+ you can understand they want one final pay day but to leave at your prime is a big deal.
Clrnc Chelsea always at the forefront of bending financial rules to their favour. Firstly with Abramovich and now this.
