I don't like making multiple threads. But this deal looked dead or at least dormant so folks might not be checking it as they wake up. But the scoop is simple, the deal is worth 36 mil in Euros not pounds. So its cheaper than the 35 million pound mark being thrown around by the rags. La Gazzetta dello Sport is very much a "Sky Sports" type of place. They are reliable and they often report later than most to make sure its truthful.
Take it for what its worth. We'll have to wait a few hours to see what the situation is from Mancini as I believe there is to be a presser about the Charity Shield. It would be quite emphatic if we could be talking about signing the Rags number one target right in front of baconface.
