Al Hilal basically almost bought a full team of top players for half a billion in one transferwindow.

Still, 20m is too low for Bono - especially considering the crazily overpriced market nowadays.

Sounds like we are 99% focused in selling and 1% focused in buying.
Unless something changes drastically, this will not go well.

Well also sounds like atleast some things will be happening. Did the horrible injury do too much bad to Diego Carlos. Marcao is a walking injury as well so would it be a shame to let him go? Really difficult to say as reliability trustworthiness for a defender are so key. If 18-19m is the maximum we are gonna get for Bono even from Saudi Arabia then really it looks to be the limit. Please use it well.

I think thatâs the plan. They trying to clear the debt. I think if we sign again it will be on the cheap or just a promote an academy player. I see a few more sales before the window closes.

Still havenât moved very many high-salaried players, except Lopes. Looking at you Papu.

The final fee is looking to be âŹ21M + add-ons. I donât know if itâs Sevilla not offering competitive wages, but i feel like Villarreal, and maybe even AlmerĂa would still have gotten more in that deal.
Maybe Ortaâs learned from Monchi how not to expose your signings. We might still not even know whoâs planned to come in. But these exits are necessary before we do anything. Just get me a baller please.

Surprisingly still available. Maybe still tryna get D. Zagreb into the CL, but iâd be pretty happy if he became the replacement.
So much needs to happen in the last 15 days, but iâm fairly confident with all the rumours popping up that things are moving well behind the scenes. Perhaps a significant transfer fee does make the first domino drop.

It was written for Monchi to take at least one player from us. I just knew it would happen, if it does end up going through of course one of our best players too. Better be overpaying

Bosa looks to be a player. 35 assists, 5 goals in 113 games for Stuttgart.

this would be a sick get (shoutout @Edinho for having this yesterday) - all signs point to him being more of a LWB than a true LB though. Maybe a change of philosophy from Mendi/Orta?

Rumor that Al-Hilal are willing to pay an extra 2M so Bono does not play today. It seems as if he wants to so this may get interesting.
