Anything approaching £100m is too much for anyone, apart from a young striker with incredible potential, even then they would have to be something very special (e.g. Havertz, Haaland) to gamble that sort of money. At least with a young striker who has already shown incredible potential, even if it doesn't work out, there will be plenty of other clubs willing to take a gamble, even if you do lose a few quid.
Kalidou Koulibaly
- Thread starter Matt Diablo
- Start date
He's a very good player and would more than likely improve us but not to the extent that we should pay anything resembling the money De Laurentiis seemingly wants. At tops £40-45m for a player of his age, especially a defender.
yep i think £50 million is still a touch high for his age and with the covid-19 the transfer market is going to be hit hard and just look at sancho daft if anybody pays £100 million in today markets

Smalling was Roma's best CB this season.
Koulibaly:
Season 20/21: 29 years old
Season 21/22: 30 years old
Season 22/23: 31 years old
Season 23/24: 32 years old
We would get at least 4 good years on top level from him. He could might as well be amazing until 35, as long as he keeps his speed and agility. We all know he can defend. So he had a mediocre season, just like our Bernardo. Doesn’t mean he’s in decline. I expect Van Dijk to be world class atleast 3 more years, think most people do. Why would Koulibaly be finished? He’s the same age as Van Dijk.

Think there might be a bigger picture here which might explain the odd fees quoted. My far-fetched theory is that the Torres/Otamendi deal might also involve Almada. Otamendi started at Velez Sarsfeld, so a percentage of the money is apparently going there, which coincidentally is where Almada plays. I looked at some Argentinian papers last week and amidst all the very big teams being mentioned, Valencia were listed as a credible destination. There’s a bit of me thinks that Almada might arrive there, but with an agreement in place that we get him down the line.
