villarule123 Posted August 15, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 15, 2023 (edited) Knowing our luck at shifting players we'll probably have to pay 50% of his wages to get him to Saudi. Edited August 15, 2023 by villarule123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ender4 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 I can't find anything in the media from the past 10 days about Lucas Digne maybe going to Saudi Arabia. There was just that vague article a couple of weeks ago from the Daily Mail and that's really it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the goals came from the other side of the pitch. Wasn't his fault at all. Could have had 2 assists as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Digne is understood to be the latest player to be offered a move to the ambitious Saudi Pro League, with Riyadh giants Al-Hilal believed to be one of several options. The £25 million signing from Everton is on significant wages and despite playing in their season opener, he is a player Villa are keen to move on.

Hank Scorpio Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 I suppose we keep him until Moreno is back given the Saudi transfer window closes after the European one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless we get Acuña in before then. He was the best of a bad bunch on Saturday. So he keeps his place this Sunday for me. But if we're getting Acuña in to upgrade him to someone more suited to our style of play, as well as significantly reducing our FFP deficit at the same time, I'd be happy to see him moved on ASAP. His wage and general purchase are a reminder of the shambles we were when we signed him. He's not bad, but we should never have put that much money into a player his age.

CVByrne Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 As we discussed in the FFP thread the annual cost of Acuna in fee amortisation and wages is likely to be half of Digne's. In the new world of European footbball with squad cost caps more stringent than PL rules we need to shift big earners who are not key players (Digne/Coutinho). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, the administration opened a line of negotiations with England's Aston Villa in order to win the services of French Lucas Digne, the left back, as the last deal in the summer "Mercato". Yesterday, Al-Azraq announced the contract with the Brazilian Neymar Jr. from Paris Saint-Germain, France, for a period of two years, in a deal that ranked second in Saudi Arabia in terms of value, after attracting Al-Nasr legend Cristiano Ronaldo, captain of the club. That's the bit that concerns us/Digne. Doesn't sound anything concrete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, until a bid comes in there isn’t much to get excited about… Saw some more tweets about this and the best explanation I’ve seen is “opened a line of negotiations with Villa for Digne”… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
