Doubt Chelsea can get more than 140-150 for him, just because Madrid will probably not be able to sell him for a huge price at 32-33, Madrid is making a 130m euro offer which seems, good, even tho i think he ranks much higher in terms of "price"

You make it sound like we have to sell for reduced fee lol? We will ask for the £200 million or they will not even get close to getting him. We are not in ANY need to sell him, his contract is up in 2020, that makes him basically 30, will Real Madrid want a 30 year old on a free transfer? Of course not, if they want him now, they have to pay big bucks, that guy is basically saying they will not be spending big on galacticos because they all cost to much money. The €400 million was probably a miss translate to how much they would have to pay to get two players they want.

Perez wants Neymar as well, he is obssesed with him but that is the big fee. If they spend £200 million plus on Hazard then that guy is obviously very wrong but he normally is very good with Real Madrid.

Few twitter accounts claiming Courtois is gone for like 35-40m. Bit of a messy situation, I guess they have confidence signing Alisson.

Yeah Kaveh is literally trolling right now. We would re sign Cech for the bench if he wants to come back for sure. He aint getting near no1 position, Sarri wants a keeper who isn't that bad with his feet.

Tibo is going back to Madrid because his children are growing up there. He has 12 months left on his deal and rejected a £200,000 deal because he wants to go back to Spain to watch his kids grow up. Which you can't argue with that. It is his own doing though, he cheated on his gf (mother of his kids) with DeBruyne's ex gf/current gf i forget which and that caused the split and she went back to live in Spain.

i know, thats why i said that he ranks much higher

is just that Hazard seems eager to exit, i know Chelsea owes Hazard nothing but still, maybe help him do what he wants? it would be painful for him if he misses this period

He is a pro and it would probably not affect him at all, still the top tier player, but still... sometimes you gotta be the good boy i guess?

Liverpool desperately need a tier 1 Keeper, hopefully the Alison deal goes through. They also singed Shaqiri for like 13 Million last week which is a steal imo.

I never understood why Shaquiri went downhill and ended up in Stoke for some reason 🤔

He was always good

And he's actually only 26. Feels like he's been around forever, I thought he'd be close to 30.

He joined Bayern way too early imo when he was still developing. He had not proven himself yet in a top league. Imagine if he joined a club like Dortmund instead. He would have gotten the opportunities to play and be a sta

His move to stoke was good in that it allowed him to restart his career. Stoke was also an exciting project with the likes of bojan and anaurtovic. Sadly the club isn't good enough, and all his brilliance got overshadowed by their relegation struggles.

speaking of stoke and relegation; i'm surprised there hasn't been any news of butland to a pl side (liverpool?) he deserves to be playing in the premier league. same with bojan - i guess he loves being at stoke and giving him a second chance so he wants to be a part of their return to the top flight.

Real Madrid cannot afford him, why would we throw away our biggest star for no compensation. Also if he did go to Madrid he would be back on the market after 2 seasons anyway. Perez has made his feelings known that he wants Neymar over anyone else but they can't afford him. They will be signing Tibo it seems for <50million which is a steal anyway and then i assume they will find a few other younger players in Spain for cheap.

Real Madrid really needs a scorer. Cristiano scored most of their goals, Benzema was terrible last season and Bale is very irregular and injury prone. They don't even have morata or mariano (he had a good season at Lyon), lol.

They really need a top level scorer.

Well, they had Karius. I'm not sure Alisson is top tier, but he definitely looked better than Karius. Also, part of being a good goalie is having your defense trust you, and that trust was almost certainly gone with Karius. His position was untenable. Alisson definitely not a bad choice to replace him.

Interesting to see how the player market prices go after this.

I think Liverpool is probably right to make the moves right now considering their roster and form, but at the same time it feels the player values have reached a certain point when Real Madrid complains about the market prices. There might be a bubble bursting unless some more oil money gets injected.

£70million for a goalkeeper nuts! Hope he doesn't get scouse keeper syndrome and becomes awful haha.

Chelsea back to drawing board on their targets for the sticks now. Real being made to wait for Tibo
