You can get the full interview in Italian text and stick it through Google translate, he said Chelsea offered a bigger fee. Plus, his pet journalists are all quoting a £57m fee.The quotes I read said
"I'd agreed a deal with them a fortnight ago, resolving various issues, but the player prefers London to Manchester and I can understand him, and then Chelsea are going to pay him more so I can understand him even more and I can't do anything about it.
It didn’t mention anything about Chelsea paying more. What I’m saying is if the above is not true the player could easily tell us so why would De Laurentis feel this would make us offer a higher fee. If the player prefers London then any increase in our offer doesn’t change that surely. Its irrelevant. If he doesn’t prefer London he just tells us and we sit tight.
However if the quote above is not quite correct he said Chelsea offered a higher fee then it makes sense.

Im missing something here. Why is it fair to say the issue belongs with us?That brief still seems strange to me mate....Is it fair to say either we lied or someone at the club is out of the loop? by your comments you must also believe the brief to be strange...
Fair. I wasn't aware our main interest was because Jorginho wasn't available at that time.I actually have an issue with it as its a lie. We wanted Fred in January because Jorginho wasn't available.
We haven't learnt from Alvez, you can't tell me City hierarchy didn't know Conti wasn't going & Sarri was coming in.
We allowed player to fuck off back to Brazil followed by his agent going back & forwards to London.
He had no World Cup, come do medical & sign pre contract.
City have some blame here & let him slip away.
Snooze you loose.
Chelsea losing Willian and hazard and then getting Jorginho wil only put them backwards. Save the money put in a cheeky bid for hazard I read somewhere he’s desperate to leave and Barca started the talks
Their valuations are a load of bollocks as they think only in Bundesliga terms, although they've improved recently. The day after we signed Sterling he was something like £17m on there.Hazard is bargain at €99m*

That's about right now :)Their valuations are a load of bollocks as they think only in Bundesliga terms, although they've improved recently. The day after we signed Sterling he was something like £17m on there.
Hahaha, if you forgot a 1 at the start :)That's about right now :)
Haha, ;)That's about right now :)
Sanchez. We've just got Mahrez due to missing out on Sanchez again. Missed out on Laporte, ended up with Stones and Laporte. Missed out on Ter Stegen, after a year of Bravo we got Ederson. Missed out on Villa, got Silva. Missed out on a crocked 34 year old Dani Alves, got Danilo.To be honest if the lad signs for us all well and good if he ends up at Chelsea I’m not that bothered,didn’t we get aguero (if I’m right) after missing out or changing our minds on original target that didn’t work out to bad ...
Do you reckon Guardiola would sell him at that price?Haha, ;)
Just checked, they are quoting £81m for Sterling atm. They are not perfect, nothing is in a this market, but I don't know a better guide?
Need to get this back on topic as this will start an avalanche of Sterling stuff nowDo you reckon Guardiola would sell him at that price?
Not if they thread ban Tom.Need to get this back on topic as this will start an avalanche of Sterling stuff now
How long have you been involved in our transfers mate?
That's my recollection, too, but others are now disputing it.Lol it was stated by Sam lee and Martin Blackburn at the time and I’m sure @tolmie's hairdoo mentioned recently that pep insisted on Laporte over Fred? Then when the window was shut the club decided to go for Jorginho instead of Fred
It depends on the price of his replacement?Do you reckon Guardiola would sell him at that price?
