Not sure If I believe the Gudelj one, it was around 2.5-3m and he had to agree on a salary lowering last year, does each screamer he scores result in a 1m raise or what…
I think most sources are in line with this. Also if we were to pay 5.2m for a player like Gudelj, we would have been beyond the point of sanity. Nobody in the right mind, would do that.
Rakitic (since his return) hasn’t justified the expense, however I think his standing with the club means they wouldn’t try to push down his salary. He loves it in Sevilla, so I doubt he’d be tempted to go overseas unless someone really throws a huge salary at him.
I think what people have said about Gudelj is right, surely you wouldn’t make a squad player the second highest earner, especially given he had been loaned out the season before he joined.
Navas can keep his money till he retires, he’s done enough for the club imo.
According to various news, the price for Acuna has been decided at 12m. Villareal, Aston Villa and Wolves are said to be interested. I did not expect that Acuna would really leave, now it will be necessary to look for a new left back.
Lopetegui is said to want him. Transfermarket says 14M market value and we paid 11.25 so 12 seems pretty good. We will probably sell him for 7.
I’d be upset to see Acuna go. As much as his attitude has annoyed me, saving himself to play for Argentina (get that he wants to play for his country), he is still one of our top players and would be a big loss. I don’t really want to be relying on just Telles and that would mean we need another left back.
Happy for Papu and Januzaj to go from that ‘blacklist’ and the likes of Suso, Dolberg, Jordan, Rakitic and Delaney can join them.
A wholesale revamp needed which I appreciate won’t be done in one January market.
I don’t think there are any players we won’t sell for a decent price, we are in reconstruction mode without sufficient money to reconstruct.
Such a sad state this club is in. Acuna & Papu are two of the only players on this team I actually enjoy watching play. Both sides of the argument are understandable, but this is pretty disappointing to hear. In the end, Sevilla are paying him to play for them. End of story
According to information from Sky, TSG Hoffenheim is dealing with Kasper Dolberg from FC Sevilla.
Intensive and positive talks have already taken place. The 25-year-old striker can very well imagine a move to TSG, and the Dane also fits perfectly into Hoffenheim’s profile.
Adios…no big loss. He really didn’t integrate and was never a presence on the field.
Great for us
They did take Dabbur off our hands so lightning could strike twice lol.
They can have him.
Any chance of this Goncalo Ramos and Rafael Leao coming to us? 
It’s going to be such a strange January transfer window. I expect lots of movement by a lot of teams because of the WC.
True, you usually see a lot of WC inspired movement in August after a WC, but this was one is weird because January is usually quiet but this big break in domestic competition and the timing of the WC will make it a much more active January, I suspect
Isco wants to leave Sevilla, because he does not agree with the new system and that he came because of Lopetegui. If we get Luis Alberto, I don’t mind at all if Isco goes, he hasn’t shown much in this half year.
€30M+ for a 31 year old goalkeeper would be a nice deal in my opinion. Could be of good use trying to reshape and rejuvinate this mess of a selection.
He’s not in the squad again for today’s game. Could be something in these rumours??
Read from the IG pages that Isco told Monchi that he was in Sevilla for Lope (lol) and does not rule out leaving in January. It was stated this happened in front of the squad while Monchi was giving a speech.
I don’t mind him leaving, he’ll be 31 by the end of the season and given he was an fa signing would be on a long and expensive contract. Letting him leave would undo another knot from the last window and more salary relief. I’d rather give Oliver and even Oscar a go there.
Looks like Isco is leaving.
