We can buy and pay for a player whenever we like and outside the window, just can’t register them.
Correct but for accounting purposes the transfer happens at the point of registration, so whether they announce his departure tonight or next month, It's booked in the 23/24 season. If these rumours which I know nothing about are ffp based and the deadline of Friday is so that it can be recorded in the 22/23 season then its already too late and doesn't make a difference.
 
Is this really a “top source” though?

Not discrediting it, just a Q.

Hard to tell but when transfers stories break for Leipzig they do usually have the heads up, they are a paper in Munich Germany so not just a random source. We might just have to see, but I do recall the bundesliga commentators mentioning FFP issues with Leipzig as well last season.

The Managing Director was interview in BILD about a week after the article.


We will act economically again this year. This includes income as a source of income. So that we can sign new players, but also grow in other areas. The target of EUR 150 million is not true.
We are far from violating the FFP rules. This has not been an issue in the past and will not be in the future.

bummer.
 
Hoping to hear some more updates soon on this.

Also, did Gvardiol specifically mention only wanting City that I missed? Seems odd that there has not been any competition to go against trying to sign the best young CB in football. Especially with the money that’s been getting thrown around lately.

Not "only wants" but hes told Leipzig he wants to join City

Chelsea bid last summer I think, and our interest started to be rumoured shortly afterward in august time. Presumably with us having an eye on him for this summer.

Think Madrid were linked too during the World Cup?

Madrid are linked to this day, but they have already spent lots on Bellingham, linked with Mbappe as well, so he is currently not their priority.
 
The rice saga has left me slightly nervous on this. With Leipzig pushing for a world record offer for a defender (apparently £85m/€100m). Can see city offering like £65/70m and then saying we don’t value him at more than that. Don’t think it’s going to be a simple one, but what the fuck do I know

Looking forward to signing Evans then ;)

I think (/hope) we don’t do that. It’s all relative to the player - I can see why the club didn’t value Rice at £105m but I can’t see why they wouldn’t value Gvardiol as £85m given his talent ceiling being so high.

But then, it is Txiki. And he’s been proven right many a time in recent windows.

It all depends on the first bid, I can’t remember the last time we had a bid rejected then we went back again. It’s like we give our maximum at outset then say take it or leave it. No negotiation.
