Saints seem be holding out for 50 all in. Think he'll move though, Liverpool will pay up.
Think we signed Ake on similar terms, Chelsea having a clause iirc?Even at 50m, Saints only get 40m, because they pay us 10%. So we could offer 41m and it would exceed Liverpool's offer. Which is 1m more than the clause next year.
But it would depend on the player wanting to come back, and the club wanting him back. Neither of which I think is there myself. Which is why I think he will end up at Liverpool.

10% of 50m..........
Yes but we have 20 percent leverage. A bid of 38 with the 20 percent wiped out is the best bid for them.Southampton will sell to the highest bidder, whether its us , liverpool or someone else
Another top club will snap him up,maybe even the Dippers as a Henderson replacement or Chelsea as a Kante.
I'll be disappointed if he ends up at Liverpool tbh :(
Its a good move for him, whatever we think of them its a big step forward in his career. whether he is quite ready for it time will tell.I'll be disappointed if he ends up at Liverpool tbh :(
Of course, it is a good move for him, I didn't want him sold and Phillips bought which is why I'll be disappointed and we potentially improve a rival of sorts.Its a good move for him, whatever we think of them its a big step forward in his career. whether he is quite ready for it time will tell.
Losing Henderson & Fabinho is massive for them. The defense will be more exposed and they are in transition upfront too. He could be the scapegoat if early results dont go well
