It was two yellows, not sure why he’d be banned more than a game (which was served on Saturday).

Heard this narrative a couple times he wouldn't want to move and it seems like just an assumption because he's Italian. Here's what he said in 2018, sure doesn't sound like someone who wouldn't leave Italy. Of course, that doesn't mean he wants to leave now, but he was open to it years ago.

Give us all the Croats

Laporte staying seems unlikely, as does Phillips leaving. But I would expect Gvardiol to be tried in the CB --> CDM role, only one other than Stones that can do that and his passing would be very useful there

Meh, I've never really been critical, thought this one felt silly to try and negotiate though.

Looking forward to his welcome interview, seems like a funny guy

Unnamed club bid more than 80m for Caicedo...not many clubs have that sort of money. Since it's unnamed it's not Chelsea, don't think United have the funds, Liverpool are looking to spend about half that on Lavia, Arsenal already went big on Rice. Could be a Saudi club? PSG? Or City...

Yeah that changed quickly, happy to say I was wrong and it indeed seems lower than the 100m euro package.

Well that's good enough for me, Txiki proved myself and many others wrong, it seems like there was room for negotiation below the quoted 100m euro package.

No add-ons according to Jack.

First English source to confirm

Worth noting it does not seem like there was any savings, the 100m euro package is what Leipzig wanted and seems like they got. I wasn't one of the ones saying Txiki sucks or whatever but the cost was pretty clear from the start.

You said that almost a month ago. Respectfully, it was not done when you said it was done.

We’ll probably never know, but that was the sticking point last week. I’m not bothered because he’s worth it. Though I think any talk of City not paying Leipzig’s price was premature.

€100m package

Really excited this one is done, I wanted him more Bellingham, think his passing ability will be a true game changer and provide more offensively than any of the current options, maybe bar Stones.

That seems like some serious penny pinching to adjust his salary package to pay more in the fee. Maybe their winger/midfielder plans are bigger than I expect.

No mention of add-ons, which seems strange given that was supposedly the hold up last week. Maybe they were haggling over something like €80m + €20m and just decided to forego add-ons with €90m up front?

I don’t think it said anything about signing, just the agreement between clubs. Which, if true, probably means Thursday or Friday signing.

New news? Or the BILD report that the agreement could be reached on Wednesday?
