oh, my bad
15m euros is disrespectful.
When is his contract expiring? That would affect the fee.
Next summer.
Is Xhaka a good reference then? We got about €25m for him back from Leverkusen.
Got an option to extend a year

Think it’s the right call if we are looking to move him on, especially with Eze possibly coming in.
Been a cracking signing for what we paid and given us two and half years, but sometimes things just need a freshening up.
Hagn giving that ITK gig another go huh?
@RockyMaivia will be ecstatic to see this.
It’s a good job you tagged him
Did a guy from Paris tell him this?
If we can sell around 20m euro we should do it. I think he probably wants the move because he hasn’t made much money in his career and this is his last chance to get a fat wedge for 2-3 years in Turkey or Saudi.
The big question for me is whether this plus our other outgoings leaves us comfortable enough financially to get Rodrygo and Eze. I would think so but you never know.
Want him sold ideally but only in a 35-40m deal to Saudi.
15-20m feels like a waste of time, can’t get such a versatile player to help us for that price. Even if we sign a LW he can be a useful backup in 3/4 spots.
He’s a bastard

Yep, Eze is his replacement.
I hope so, if he’s leaving…
Madueke*
You know, I’ve got a theory which is more damning.
Let’s hear it
I think the club went into the window without really prioritising a LW.
I think their main plan was a striker(Gyokeres/Sesko) and a right winger.
I think that’s why the club was interested in Sane and Mbeumo, made enquiries about Kudus and then landed on Madueke.
I think their left winger pursuit was always gonna be opportunistic for someone like Rodrygo or Williams, IF they were to became available.
I think this Eze deal is purely reactive to Trossard looking to go and it will wrap up our business for the summer.
The hell it will, Gyokeres is coming in on top of that as a minimum.
