João Félix

How real are these rumours? Are we really serious about this signing or is it just paper talk because I am now starting to believe that this could be true .
 
Yes , do remember the Renato sanches one....so much hype....and the kid wasn't all that

Trust our scout much more now ( assuming we don't have those who scouted Mangala ! )

It will be paper talk fueled by some over excited clubs and agents. We probably have enquired about Felix, will we pay £100m+ for him? no way. The owners have said they won't compromise wage structures or pay OTT transfer fees. We probably have agreed terms with the player offered Benfica £70/£80m and got told to do one. No way we will pay the release clause UNLESS Sane leaves but even then I'm not convinced.

Think of all the paper talk since the season ended, a lot of mouths flapping but no actual movement.
 
Benfica can no longer fight to keep Joao Felix, because of both the bids and his salary, since City offered him €6m per season on a five-year contract. Luis Felipe Vieira will pick the best offer, preferably one that allows Felix to stay one more season. [@Record_Portugal]

Shirley we wouldn't pay that much and leave him there? the rags might just to get him though
 
Weren't we in for mbappe for pretty big money the season before he blew up? This reminds me of that situation. Pep and the front office have earned our trust with transfers. Im excited for whoever they bring in

Can't swear on it, but pretty sure I read somewhere that we offered £40m whilst he was still a virtual unknown

We are much more likely to let him stay on loan than united are, if Sane stay we don't really need him until next the season after next.

If it gets him for £60 rather £100m then I’m sure we would. Makes sense for him to get another year of starting every game under his belt as well.

If hes on loan there, they will be paying for it. Either by paying us a loan fee to cover his wages, or by taking money off the transfer fee.

We wont pay full price and then pay him €6m to play for another team, no.

I understand what you are saying and i know we let gabby stay where he was for 6 mths but that wasn't as much money,i wouldn't like to be the one that sorts out the contract on this one,what if he breaks a leg or does his archilles?

Insurance. And the risk of getting injured should just about be equal whether he is playing in Lisbon or at City.
 
More than the risk of injury would be do you want him getting more first team matches or do you want him working with Pep on a day to day basis?
