In todays market I don't think we will be overly interested in paying as much as the exit clause price.
The risk now is that Manure or Chelski steps in and snatches him in front of us. I don't really follow that. They are just as likely to not be able to afford / be willing to pay that amount in these times. Chelsea don't need a striker really. They have a collection of attacking players and have Ziyech coming in who they signed in Jan. Man United have to get Sanchez off their payroll and have got Ighalo until Jan now. Again they have lots of options. Just that loads of them are not at the top level consistently. They are also going to either hold on to Pogba and his wages or let him go cheap. This was someone they valued at £150m last season when he was banging in all those penalties. United haven't replaced Lukaku so I think they would be interested, however, I suppose they will make their move if they qualify for CL, Chelsea only have Abraham as a CF because Giroud is not a first team player, however they will also need to wait for CL qualification otherwise Werner might not be interested except if he doesnt want to wait for a year to get a pay rise.

Seeing a few reports that we are now back in for Ousmane Dembele.
Barcelona don't seem to fancy him anymore since Setién arrived, Dembele's appearances have been very few and far between. It could be a smokescreen from LFC to flush out Werner from Leipzig or a Plan B with a loan deal for Dembele with a view to buying from Barcelona if Dembele does well.
In the current economic climate of uncertainty I wouldn't rule out us looking at loan deals. The Dembele situation at Barcelona could be an opportunity because Barcelona need to get wages off their books.

Dembele always injured. So I don't see us helping out a CL rival financially by loaning him. Barcelona are like Man Utd. They have got tucked up by agents and players demanding high wages and not performing up to the levels you would associate with that wage.
Lots of £200k a week players not cutting it.

Surely they would want to catch up with us. We are so good at the moment that I can see us wait a bit more before we decide to do anything economically drastic in the current situation (Corona). If we do so either of those clubs might step in and make a move. They clearly need to do something to improve and close the gap up to us.

Chelsea have a very rich owner, so he bank rolls the club.
FSG's business is sports ownership/management, they would have been heavily hit by the Covid-19 outbreak as all their sports franchises would have been impacted, going forward this will have a big impact on all clubs as Income/revenue will be down, no one knows how long for, so clubs have got to budget for that.
This is a negotiation, we have a value for a player and that's what we offer, if Chelsea offer more, that is upto them, they have always paid more in wages, so it's the players choice also.

Chances are Chelsea will offer £200k wages. The likes of Hudson Odoi are on £180k. We would only offer £125k. Probably less under a Covid contract.
We cannot match the lure of London. Or Madrid. Or Bayern for that matter.
If he wants to come to us a year later like he has said then that will still happen.
