N'Zonzi

Yeah, he has a release clause so there's no danger of the price rising.

Are we in for him, Ric? Hunter doesn't seem like someone who spreads idle gossip.

Hunter's pretty well connected, so I think there's something in this.

Might we use nasri in a deal? He's done well there so we could use him to bring a fee down?

Potentially, however it'd be shocking business if we signed N'Zonzi for £26m and sold Nasri for less.

Nasri is doing well there and I understand his fee is circa £21m so it would seem logical that if we are in for N'zonzi an agreement could quickly be reached assuming of course that Seville want to keep him. The extra spanner in the works is of course Samir's alleged current doping controversy!

The fees are I understand already identified as £26m & £21m

Yeah seems that way. Might be good business though as Samir doesn't seem to have a future under pep?

 

[waspish]

N'Zonzi's news are more and more seeming a strategy to raise his price: Juve, Madrid, Barcelona...too many contenders to be real.

He moves around a lot, he has run down his contract and went for nowt pocketing a big fee, so probably something in what you say.

Are you The Drip Doctor :-)

 

[Azulete]

He has a fixed buyout clause so Sevilla can't drive the price up.

Not his price (30M €) but his future wage. I'm sure City can pay more that Juve, but having Barcelona or Madrid around may help N'Zonzi agent to ask for more in a future contract.
