Who knows mate? Reports suggesting we've pulled out, but we don't know the credibility.I take it this isn’t happening now ?
We want to get him for around Diego Carlos money, which leads me to think City would be very happy to get Carlos instead if Napoli wanna keep fucking around.
Txiki is very much a value-for-money kind of fucker. With good reason.

He probably has marginally, or at least used his ability fully in a Pep team. But was saying he has increased his value, doubt he would go for much less than £85/90 million now.
Yeah that's a fair point. We'd definitely turn a profit on him.

We dodged a bullet with Jorginho.
Fingers crossed we dodge a deadlier bullet here. Quoted figures are pure madness.

There’s reportedly a pow wow of the Napoli management today to discuss squad development. Paraphrased:
The paragraph before speaks of the economic pressure Napoli faces (no CL and no tickets), and you can see that a major rebuild is going on, so many new players. However, the market has changed and nobody has the money (see Juventus’ suggestion) to pay what Napoli want.
I expect to read Koulibaly increasingly linked to ‘that lot’ in the coming days and our interest to ‘cool’. But that will be Napoli trying to generate an auction. Not sure that lot could justify spending upwards of 150m (wages included) on two central defenders over two summers, especially when they are of a similar type.

De Laurentiis and Gattuso will have to tell each other everything that they have been unable to tell each other in recent weeks, through systematically playing every three days, and express their respective assessments of the squad, but also calculating the possible developments of the market. These are centered above all on Koulibaly, Allan and Milik (Juve wants him by offering money and either Cristian Romero or Bernardeschi), as a way of covering the expenses incurred recently (Osimhen, Politano, Demme, Lobotka, Rrhamani and Petagna). However, they also need to plan future investments: Callejon's heir, could be Cegiz Ünder (just turned 23) but on the left, the possibility of getting the Greek Tsimikas (24) has faded, with Liverpool interested. Instead attention could turn to the Spaniard Sergio Reguilon (24 years old in December), the winger that Real Madrid has loaned to Seville.

I think we will still sign him, and I hope so too, for a fee in the region of £60/65mil.There’s reportedly a pow wow of the Napoli management today to discuss squad development. Paraphrased:

Is he? Always plays hard ball, weeks of negotiation then pays what the seller wanted in the first place or says too much and leaves it too late to sign an alternative.Who knows mate? Reports suggesting we've pulled out, but we don't know the credibility.
