Sounds about right.

Leipzig - 'We have told you over and over again it's €100mil'

Us - 'Thats a fair point but how about €72.5mil this time. Its an extra €500k for you.'

Good, if we are certain he wants to come to us we can take as long as we like trying to get the price down, if we end up paying more we end up paying more.

Just pay the money ffs

Exactly! (It’s not my money)

*Leipzig are very difficult to deal with and we have now pulled out of the race.

That's usually the next stage if we don't pay what they want

yeah if romano’s right and i think he’s been accurate with leipzig stuff, this makes more sense than waiting for leipzig to buy players theory, at least to me.

at this point, i’d just like a decision. i’d feel sorry for joško though :(

So it’s £86m plus add ons? I thought it was £86m total? €100m? Not sure we will do that to be honest

Now why should Mahrez have to pay for this transfer? Is it because.. he's ALGERIAN?

they don’t want to sell him, his contract ends in 2027. he does want to play for city and leipzig said ok you can go, this is our price. why do you think they will agree to lower the price on august 31?

Pulled out of what race ? As far as I know there is no race just us and Leipzig negotiation. Very similar to KDB and Wolfsburg, or Walker and Spurs, Grealish and Villa probably other examples. We try and get the price down if we can’t we pay what it takes.

Surely if City doesn't like the price and terms they would walk away already.

I never said they would, but it’s worth trying first. Depends how much the player pushes too.We’ve been here many times.
