Aymeric Laporte

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Gundogan
Laporte
?

Pogba.

I think it's close to done, barring the two clubs negotiating and the usual bluff game saga with Italians.

Waste of time. Spanish clubs generally don't negotiate on release fees as there are tax issues.

He'll be an exceptional addition all the same.

Gundogan
Laporte
?

I think TH mentioned a while ago that Gundogan is as good as done, so maybe the ones that are "close" are Laporte, Isco and Pogba?

Wow! Anything in the Isco link tolmie?

 

[paul.dobson]

I would imagine Real Madrid would we coming in for Pogba if they sell a few midfielders. Has anyone watched much of Laporte?

Assuming Pep has been influencing since last summer , split Vinnie and Quim wider
tuck Fern and Fab in to make a solid 3 in the middle with all the width coming from Kev and Raheem.

 

[The Blue one!]

Tolm how its can be close to done although we still need to negotiating with juve?

 

[jimharri]

Is the release clause 50 million Euro or pound?

isn't this the biggest and toughest part?

I assume we'd have some informal discussions with Juve as to the price level. The last thing you want is that we'd get agreement with Pogba and suddenly Juve start pulling rabbits out hats in terms of terms and prices. I hope the third party rights issues are resolved at this stage.
