If we're willing to pay £26m for Silva, I can't see why we aren't willing to meet the £33m release clause for Seri. I mean, I know £7m is hardly small change, but Seri's a longer-term investment so that's a deal that would pay itself off in the long run - unless we're thinking that, as Seri has two years on his Nice contract, we can come back at a later date to negotiate a better deal...which is a risky move, given there's probably a dozen clubs having the same idea.
The Pau Lopez Saga is still ongoing, although Sport (the Spanish sports paper, not the English tits paper) are claiming we've reached a fee of £2.17m (plus the £600k loan fee for last season) - while there's some speculation that says the stories linking us with IFK Gothenburg goalkeeper Pontus Dahlberg were leaked by the club to spook Espanyol.
Since we haven't signed our annual winger yet, allow me to make a suggestion: Fiorentina winger Federico Bernardeschi has rejected a new contract, and as he has two years left on his deal Fiorentina want to cash in now.
