Fully expect them to sell Silva

Offer Dortmund 120ml and Bellingham 350k a week

Bernardo Silva won't go and you've missed out Alvarez who is incredibly highly rated.

Yeah, I missed Alvarez. My bad. I’ve also read City have no expectations for him this season, just settle in and learn the language.

 

We’ll see.

 

Talk Silva wanted out last summer. The talk isn’t going away. Him leaving would be a huge bonus. The cunt.

[Megadrive Man]

I'm sure Silva signed a new contract a few months ago?

He signed for 6 years in 2019.

“Subject to international clearance“?

It’s a fifa thing they have to rubber stamp all transfers and have done for years but recently clubs have started to add that phrase for some reason.

He resigned in March but who knows?

Bernardo won't leave, no one can afford him. The cunt.

[El Rojo]

@fsg - Announce Asensio.

Chelsea have lost Rudiger and Christensen and looks like Alonso and Azpilecueta (sp) are going, they may be suspect at the back this coming season, have they signed a defender yet?

They're after Nathan Ake. So even if they sign him, it's questionable if they would have signed a defender.

Full agreement between City & Chelsea for Sterling.

[HBenn]

See Paul Gorst saying he thinks there is a big opportunity for us to sign Bellingham this summer. Also says the feeling is the club don't feel there is a negotiation to be had with Dortmund now.

Interesting that the Echo aren't all sticking to the line of us not really needing anyone.

[LFC 6 Times]

Sterling and Jesus are big losses for city. Despite being in and out of the team, they offered a great goal scoring threat. Glad they’ll be persisting with that joker grealish.

 

Fancy us strongly for next season.

They need the clicks though.

Reads more like can they afford to wait a year incase there is a bidding war, but they don't expect Dortmund to budge. Reads as the normal column filling drivel to me

His comment on Twitter was there a big opportunity to buy this summer. Breaks from the line that Dortmund won't sell this summer. The Echo are always super positive about the club, even when some say they need to do more. Just a bit weird to be saying they could make a move if LFC and Dortmund are adamant this summer is not an option.

We have gone from no price for him, to a price and even rumours City will go for him this summer. Still think there may well be legs to this one this summer

Not sure he's worth the money myself. But if the club do, who can argue. 

 

For the right money Dortmund will buckle but it'll be on their terms. Think it's getting late for it to happen as I'd imagine if he comes in Keita and Ox go out to balance the books a bit

The window has followed a predictable pattern. The business we wanted to do was done very early, before pre-season. If there is something left to come, it's because the opportunity presents itself, but it's always like that and journos can only learn of that when it's happening in real time. They're all just speculating right now because nothing is happening. It's no use looking for veiled meanings from what they say.

Yes, it is getting late and we know Jurgen would prefer to have his players in early.. Just keeping an open mind that's all as the big transfers often occur towards the end of the window

Might have been asked elsewhere but do we get a cut of the sterling deal? 
 

we’ve got a net spend championship to win.

I think 20% on profit. I noticed conveniently the price they announced today ensured a 2m loss at 47m. Expect the next deal between the 2 clubs to look at completely the wrong value as a week ago this deal was valued at 60m.

Be interesting what Ake might go for then. 
 

Although anything over about £6m is vastly overpriced.

Funny watching the mancs claiming they all want Neves more than de Jong now that he seems to have told them to fuck off

[Barrington Womble]

I see ngolo kante is being linked with a move to arsenal. You'd have thought if Chelsea were willing to let him go, it should be enough to tell arsenal to stay clear.

Didnt he sign a new contract, which would remove any previous agreements?
