Yeah, I still think it is lower than without Covid, he is a top German International player at 24 who has won trophies, I would have liked us to get him, but no way would City sell to us. Hazard went for £100 million at 28 nearing the end of his contract, Sane is much better value. Sane is a big loss for City, would Sancho go back? he will cost allot more, apparently City have first refusal. I can see him at Utd if they get CL as they will pay what Dortmund want.

It looks like Chelsea, City and United all have money to spend but we have nothing despite being the most profitable club over the last 3 years and having spent the least over that period.

This may determine the price if one bidder is out of the running the price comes down. We also have a couple of things in our favour. Lovren can be used as a carrot for Napoli. For Koulibaly the lure of playing with Mane and other African players could be key. Then you have to think of the managers. Popular opinion is Pep might only be at City one more season but Klopp is going to be around for a few years yet. Klopp has said we are not going to defend the title we are going to attack it. Making the team stronger by signing a defender does exactly that however you want to dress it up.

If we didnt have money to pay Werner's release clause despite him valued higher, cant see us signing Koulibaly who is 5 years older.
