That's down to the player though, it doesn't change our approach to transfers.

We need KK to force this transfer bit more lowering the asking price.
Whoever blinks first loses.
De Laurentiis was clever to set the price so high with 90m euros quotes. He knew he would not get that, but will make Txiki happy if he can lower it to 70-75m euro. Which is probably what Laurentiis wanted anyway.
If you wanna sell a house you set the price bit higher than what you want to get, and then buyers will feel good about themselves after you let 10-20K off the price ending up exactly where you wanted to be. :)
Even 70 euros is too much imo for him at age 29, after a mediocre seasons with Covid pushing prices down. But we need a top CB, and if the club thinks its him to fill the gap that is their decision it has to work out much better tho than Stones, Otamendi etc otherwise Txiki needs to answer.

Just like Jorghino did eh ? The agents and selling club will listen to whoever offers the most money. Just like when we were in for Fred and United gazumped us (not saying we didn't dodge a bullet with either but your theory doesn't stand up).
It can cut both ways - some players - or more likely their agents will go for the highest offer no matter where it comes from - others want to join a specific club and a higher offer will be rejected - if they buy into a manager or a particular plan. A few clubs including ourselves tried to offer Havertz more money but he wanted Chelsea and wasn't going to be dissuaded.

I hope it's not true, 'liked' it to remind myself how all these tweet accounts are bullshit.
