Romano also tweeted in the summer that Torres release clause was around €55/€60 million. So, not sure how accurate he is with that info.

Verified on Capology at €60m, Pino’s is €80m

Think Juan Foyth could be a target. Only 24 still and while he was in/out at Spurs he's been really good for Villareal under Emery. Depends what we'll do with Kesler next season but his lack of minutes at Huddersfield dosen't suggest he's quite ready to start for us so get Foyth in and he can play RB and CB so exactly the sort of signing that should improve us in the coming seasons.

40 million release clause put Barcelona off buying him in summer as Villarreal wont sell below

Its a lot for a full back that doesn't do much in attack

tbf looking at what seems like Emery's system, he seems to prefer one of the full backs to create a back 3 with the CBs, while the other full back goes forward.

Apparently Emery liked Foyth as he was the RB who was also highly competent at CB, who always tucked in from RB to RCB of a three with Torres and Albiol, so he effectively valued his defensive qualities, not his attacking ones.

If we intend to play similar, which it seems we do, i can only assume that means Digne will be the FB going forward more, so that could mean our RB will tuck in a lot to make a back 3 when the team is going forward.

Not that i advocate signing Foyth specifically, I dunno, just spit balling.

 

a bit like buendia also, Emery likes one of his wide players to tuck in to the midfield when the team is going forward, and the other as more of a wide player, Buendia seems to be doing the wide start but tuck in when attacking thing, seems like in attack Emery converts to some sort of 343/3421/3412/334/3232/3241/352 type formation, will be interesting to see how it develops with Villa.
