We negotiate and when both parties are satisfied then we make a bid. None of this bidding back and forth that media reports about.

In that case no bid is needed , we negotiate and agree a deal. So the fact there has been no bid doesn’t mean the deal isn’t almost done. Both those saying it’s nearly done and those saying there’s been no bid can be right.We negotiate and when both parties are satisfied then we make a bid.

Agreed mate but how many generally tend to make it to the top level from their respective academies , I don’t really follow the youth stuff these days , but I’d hazard not many at all ?got the most up to date academy in the country, time to start using it properly.
Far far far too sensible for the transfer forum mate :)In that case no bid is needed , we negotiate and agree a deal. So the fact there has been no bid doesn’t mean the deal isn’t almost done. Both those saying it’s nearly done and those saying there’s been no bid can be right.
This is an idea Napoli are putting all this out into the press to get City to move now for Koulibaly, since they want Gabriel and arsenal are making moves for their number one replacement. Napoli cant have Gabriel in due to wages , Koulibaly is on 9 million euros a year they even pay Manolas 7million euros a year so they need Koulibaly off the wage bill, so Gabriel can come in. Koulibaly being there still is an obstacle for them so putting this information into the press is pushing city to move now.

Exactly. However the beauty of it for City this time around is that we are the only party at the table. Napoli can try and bluff us all they want, we know they want to sell him to us, consequently it’ll get done at our valuation and not their’s.This is an idea Napoli are putting all this out into the press to get City to move now for Koulibaly, since they want Gabriel and arsenal are making moves for their number one replacement.

Koulibaly isn’t on 180k a week we agreed a contract of 125k a week with him.

I do wonder why no one else is after him....rate him highly so it seems a bit odd that no other team anywhere are after him. Dont both Chelsea and Arsenal need centre halves to name but two?
Post covid finance issues?
Age of player?
Not wanting to deal with Napoli?!

I guess Chelsea have committed a whole lot of funds in their attack so they may be looking at the cheaper options such as Stones.
Arsenal can buy a bag of chips to save their life, they ain't buying a 65 million defender.
United could buy him but their focus is on the latest toy in the market which is Sancho so good riddance.
Bayern will bully some poor German team and buy the next german prodigy for cheap.
Real have enough cover so does Juventus, Barcelona can't afford anyone now with those exorbitant wages.
PSG is the real worry for me. They have reached the CL final and they have the money to spend. Like us their defence is marshalled by a 36-year-old. They can blow us out of the water and ADL would be waiting for such an opportunity. Hopefully, a deal or commitment from KK can be done before the CL ends. Else they may cause us a few problems.

City are pretty pissed with them by sounds of it.
They are defo trying it on.
Don't laugh, but could see him at PSG or Barca too?
He's not good enough for us but in the systems they play, he's better than they have.
How can he be good enough for a deserving CL finalist but not us?

Maybe Koulibaly and his agents have made it clear City is the only club he wants, thus other teams not being interested.
Didn't Van Dijk do similar with Liverpool.

Arsenal will struggle - wage bill going up not down and limited cash - looking to sell before they can buy.
