GlobalVillan Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 (edited) 10 minutes ago, alreadyexists said: The article says €35m up front with €25 worth of add ons… seems a lot of add on but fair enough We are never paying 60mil up front. As Ive said several times, we will make a couple of 30/40 mil signings and a couple of cheaper/free ones. The difference in valuation can be made up with future add ons for things like CL qualification so it makes sense. I'd be very surprised if we paid more than 40 mil (potential add ons aside).

Tye difference in valuation can be made up with future add ons for things like CL qualification so it makes sense. I'd be very surprised if we paid more than 40 mil (potential dd ons aside). Yeah that’s true, could be that the €25m in add ons are dependent on CL qualification, and a number of international caps for Diaby, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just aren't a club that drops 60 mil on a player. I still think there is a bit of a way to go on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are going to need to play £50mil for players like Diaby now it would appear. And still hasn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted July 19, 2023 Moderator Share Posted July 19, 2023 Well hopefully we'll find out soon enough and then we can deal with Galetti accordingly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marka Ragnos Posted July 19, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted July 19, 2023 All discussion seems centred on transfer fees and add-ons. But aren't competing salary offers just as important? Not sure I get this aspect of summer window brinkmanship. Why do we hear less about salary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wishywashy Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 At this point it's probably best to block out the noise. You've got utterly crap sources saying he's agreed with us, utterly crap sources saying he's agreed with them, and all of the sources with actual notoriety saying nothing but both clubs are in negotiations with Leverkusen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustibrooks Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Rudy Galetti recently got proven wrong (like he does on most things), he said Telles is not in Al-Nassr’s plans and won’t make a move. Then Fab confirmed Telles has gone to Al-Nassr. The guy just chats rubbish most of the time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair he said terms were agreed between player and club and if Arsenal meet asking price Villa would sell. This is all true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrim Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Chances of Villa chasing a player that doesn't want to come here: Zero. Maybe 1% to be generous. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
