    15:43 €45m for Silva + €15m for Slimani?

    The latest from Portuguese newspaper Record suggests there is a deal in place for City to sign both Islam Slimani and Adrien Silva for €60m, but with Silva costing the bulk of the combined fee.

    Reports this morning suggested the split was €35m for Slimani (which corresponds with the £30m figure reported elsewhere) and €25m for Silva.

    However, Slimani has a third party owner, Saudi Arabian businessman Abou Khaled Gheram, who has a 20% stake in the Algerian.

    In order to reduce the fee Sporting owe to Gheram, Record believe City will officially pay just €15m for Slimani and €45m for Silva.

    I have seen William Carvalho quite a few times over the years and I have always been impressed. He has been linked with a lot of top clubs over the years but hasn't moved on

    I hadn't heard of Adrien Silva until Sunday morning so I don't know nothing about him

    For nearly £40M - no.

    On another note, will you be changing your signature now Liam Moore has left?

    I probably should, but then I still bang on about Heskey to all my mates every day so I find it hard to let go

    And no cause I think it's too late in the day now

    Sky sources understand Sporting star Islam Slimani has passed his medical ahead of a move to Leicester City and is about to sign a contract with the Premier League champions.

    The transfer is thought to be worth £30m, which would be a club record for Leicester.

    I can't see the Silva deal going through now either.

    For £2m more we could have got Benteke
    At least he wouldn't be missing him for ACON
    Mind you, the good thing is will be missing him all season

    He cost £25.5M - rising to £30M with add ons.

    Good chunk of change for a hopefully good player.
