It's semantics (and not really all that important), but in Dax's defense he is right. If you want to define a bargain in the economical sense, then it's paying less for a player than what the market will be bear. Even if you include more technical deep central midfielders, like Modric, Fabinho might be the most expensive of his ilk at £35m (anyone able to verify that?). Which means that if we pay the highest amount ever for someone of his type, and he develops into the best in the world at that role, then it wasn't a bargain -- we just estimated his value correctly and had a good piece of business. Dax was only pointing out that it's a bargain if you get the equivalent player for cheap, not for top dollar.
As far as the player goes, incredibly excited about this particular link. Feel like it's just a midfielder we're getting -- lot of talk that fullback isn't his cup of tea, and I would imagine that would be included in any negotiations -- but what a player. Would be a fine way to start the summer.
