Florentino Luís from Benfica is still available. I know we looked at him when we signed Grav and Mac. Juve are said to be interested at around €30m
Was a lot of hype about him couple years ago but heard nothing since then really suggesting maybe dropped off a bit but can’t say watch any Portuguese football.
Rumours of Nunez to Atletico on loan with obligation to buy. Feel he’s def going to be off, just hasn’t quite worked out but hopefully get decent whack for him.
Bad deal that. I'd say he has been tapped up and will refuse any other moves. I'd want him gone to Saudi for a massive undeserved fee and never hear of him again. Loaning him means thry can't afford him and we are stuck not being able to buy as the fee will be needed.
If there's an obligation to buy then it's more of an accounting and cash flow issue, which I assume we could bridge. Just hope it's a decent fee. For his sake I hope he's able to get a decent European move rather than Saudi.

Bayern following City's lead at balking at the cost of Wirtz.. Could we actually be the club that pays silly money for someone else's target... this situation feels weird... lol
if they think he’s expensive, FSG sure as sh*t will. We’ve been here before, I expect a signing that nobody is talking about now.
Ornstein reporting that Wirtz to Liverpool is looking likely. Not getting too excited .... just yet .
We’ll see what comes of it. It could well be us using him as a smokescreen to drive another price down.
The good thing with this one is it will be over very quickly as he's said to have been given 10 days to decide, so we'll know before the transfer window even opens.
Will be really interesting where he plays. I’d guess as a false 9 type in a firmino type role coming deeper to get balls and feeding through but would normally say he’s best in szobo’s current role behind a front man. Very differently to the other 9s with been linked with in ask and Sesko
Cost seems crazy, do wonder if it’ll be slightly cheaper because they’d rather sell to us than Bayern or if we’re just happy to pay what’s being asked for a what could be a generational talent. I’d hope would tie him down to a long deal as for £125m is a lot is only getting 5 years out of him. At his age, you’d hope to get 10 years unless move on in 5/6 for similar money.
