João Félix

[Keeper!]

Yeah gone to Atletico.

In all seriousness, we have so much attacking power up front that it's hard to be too arsed about this. Especially if Sane stays.

2018 article.
Atlético Madrid is reportedly on the verge of an agreement with Carlos Slim to restructure the club's debt of €163M ($202M) to the Mexican magnate, according to MUNDO DEPORTIVO. Spanish publication Cinco Días reported the club is finalizing a deal to change the timeline of its payments to Slim-owned Inbursa. The original agreement called for the sum to be paid off over four years, in installments of €40M ($49.6M) per season. The new loan, "which maintains the same interest rate of 4%, will extend the repayment term to a decade." Under the new agreement, Atlético will pay €16M ($19.9M) per year through '27. Cinco Días estimated that the club's total debt is €585M ($725.6M) (MUNDO DEPORTIVO, 3/6).

Or could is be that at €105m, we were never really in for him as some reports suggested all along?

It's a strange move, for me, but likely to get more minutes under Simeone with the talent drain they are undergoing than with Pep at City. Still, developmentally I think it's a poor decision but football & the money these days is absolutely bonkers. 120M for a player who is very raw and only been playing regularly for less than a season

It seems mendes will pocket €30m of the fee as well! Like you say, football is fucked these days with the money now involved in it?!

Yep, and Mendes is well known for his healthy cut not unlike pizza boy

Don’t think it did.

All other sales go up when the benchmark goes up doesn't matter if he is world class!

You should know debt is fine its the modal of a well run club!

That’s the 156th time you’ve told us this now, and still nobody cares.

I care enough to know that I can never love you.

Good,i maintain it is an obscene deal for a kid when we have much more pressing needs

But we were only going to pull the trigger on this deal if Sané left. Felix seems to have made his mind up before we know the outcome of the Sané saga, so we were never in a position to act. We could now lose Sané and not have the deal in place that we hoped to do if Leroy moved on! In that case I think we’d have to make a conscious decision to go with what we’ve got and potentially play with wing backs more often. But then that only really works if Danilo leaves as Cancelo would be much better than what we’ve currently got to play as a right wing back.

In Madrid with Mendez now allegedly. Good signing for Atletico.

Sane has 2 yrs left so we can keep him for now,we would still get a decent fee next summer and have had 4 or 5 yrs of great service from him

But if we are banned next year we can't replace him if we sell him, with Silva going and Aguero going into a last year we would be building up problems. Need to know now whether he's going or extending.

am i the only one that will be glad if he doesn't come?

I'm glad, at that price.

At a decent price I wouldn't mind a gamble on him but even then it would be a gamble.

Imo we need to do these kind of deals before the bullshit level gets too high, or move on.

Jesus was a great example of getting it right.

No I am to mate he's not needed
