Looks like Summerville to WHU then. Fee is reported 25m plus add ones. With that I think anywhere around the 18-20m mark is fair for Clarke.
EN: Adil Aouchiche approaching? BY WALID L WEDNESDAY, JULY 31, 2024 Often mentioned in the National Team, like many binationals, Adil Aouchiche could take the plunge during the next international truce. If he had been his current age (22 years old, celebrated 16 days ago) in 2004, everyone could easily have said that he still has plenty of time to explode. Unfortunately for Aouchiche, 20 years later, all are in a hurry and the examples of great players who reveal themselves very early in the eyes of the whole world, such as recently Lamine Yamal, are now legion. The midfielder was also one of these promising young people when he made his debut with Paris Saint-Germain on August 30, 2019, becoming, at 17, the youngest player ever to start a match under the colours of PSG in the league (since surpassed by Warren Zaïre-Emery). Since then, between a very average passage in Saint-Étienne and a rather banal season in Sunderland, the Blanc-Mesnil native has stagnated. A change is therefore welcome and, according to our information, it could go through a convocation next September for the matches against Guinea and Liberia, Vladimir Petkovic definitively wishing to keep a right over the player. It should also be noted that a departure from Sunderland this summer, again according to our information, would be a very plausible option for the player.
Topi Keskinen linked to Blackburn. Elliott Jackson on X: "State of play at #Rovers including full story on Gent. Understand there’s nothing close with Topi Keskinen." / X
How do you know? Lots of assumptions in that sentence. We literally know nothing of negotiations. For the first time in the clubs history, we know nothing. No agents spreading ****. No leaks from the club. It could be that others have a higher budget or are less worried or willing to listen to the ffp. As I say, I don’t know, but I know we want value for what we get is what I see.
id be happy enough with 20, especially if it unlocks our ability to sign / willing to spend on a striker
Absolutely. However, if he wants more games, surely he has to say “right, going to prove to the new boss…” etc. maybe I have too idealistic a view on that!!
I wouldn’t be shocked to hear pretty much all of our foreign signings would be open to transfers away. They probably all arrived thinking they’d coast the English championship and have found out the standard is higher than them.
