So benzema has signed for Saudi gov club.
Ronaldo is at another.

Zaha apparently offered 300k a week to join another and Kante being offered silly money to join another one.

Seems like it’s the new retirement home for players who have couple years left in them. Saw with China but that sudenly went tits up - this time thoigh it’s got the whole Saudi gov behind it financing these wages.

Be nice if they could put in a couple big offered for some of our players rather than just these freebies.

Wonder if ox and keitas agent are calling the Saudi gov as we speak

It'll be the South Melbourne Johnson Paint League calling that pair.

Most accounts are suggesting around 45m. Some saying rising to 50-55m with adds on.

Don’t think anyone will ever know. Brighton will be using their contacts to put out that for a decent price to appease the fans, lfc will want to put out a lower price to make seem cheaper etc. grand scheme, as long as it doesn’t stop up getting couple more players and he plays well, doesn’t really make a difference to us

It seems obvious that there was some kind of release clause. He would have been leaving on a free but signed a new contract so Brighton get some money for him and he gets a move he wants by having the release clause be reasonable. If he wanted only a move to Liverpool then the amount is tailor made for us. It's wins all round.

Wouldn’t have been a free as he still had/has 1 year to run on it but would have been in last year so value would have obviously dropped. Does seem like was a compromise but sounds like it wasn’t a normal release clause so who knows.

Excited by him though. Everyone speaks really highly about him as a person as well as a player which is a good sign. Hoping he slots right in easily and doesn’t need a bedding in period that he needed at Brighton. Hoping that’s down to a new league/language rather than anything else
