Where has this deal got to? Thought we had sewn it up and he was joining in Jan, but I've not heard anything for a while...

Brighton or Porto now i think,

Chelsea also

 

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

Chelsea also

not seen them in the links last couple of days tbh. Brighton double deal for him and Fernandez at Boca seems most likely.

 

[bobom]

Oh shame, I thought he looked good.

 

[g180aj]

Girona should sign him

 

[Blueroses]

Apparently it is not happening anymore but a lot can change in month apparently Echeverri signing and this was smoke screen.

 

[christened at st marks]

Balde for Cancello maybe

I have never seen this young man play so I can’t comment on his ability. However I did read that we were very keen on him and were even in “advanced negotiations” for him. It’s a bit of a surprise to read this morning that Brighton have exercised his £10m release clause. £10m is not really much of a risk these days. We could probably sign this guy and bring him through the EDS or loan system for a couple of years. If he is good enough for the first team after that it would be a bonus. If not we flip him, probably for a tidy profit.

I wouldn't blame a player his age picking Brighton over us if first team opportunities would be limited. Not sure if that's what happened, however.

Looked average

If he is a left back, which I thought he was, he will do well to take Estupinan’s place

Agree - I rate Estupinan highly. Could it be they know PE will be moving on this summer so Barco is lined up to succeed?

He's only started 7 prem games this season due to injuries. this kid will be cover, theyve been playing a cb there this season.

Wonder why we dropped out of this.

Why Man City decided not to sign long term target for just £9m this month

so now it is certain to say that he will be world class in Brighton and will go to Chelsea for 120mil ?

 

[Skrastins]

It seems Estupinan will be on the move soon then

 

[LongsightM13]

Possibly didn’t expect the left back at Girona to have such a breakout season?
Half of Europe apparently watching him, though Madrid have a buyback clause iirc
