I did say when that came out and people were saying that’s him not happening, that it’d be one price for Marseille and one for everyone else because Marseille had been buying so many of their players
Just goes to show how late things get leaked to the press. Only bid €20m for him an hour ago or so and already rejected. Good chance that bid was days or weeks ago and has only leaked out now they’ve rejected it.
Depends if Nantes can afford to keep him this summer or whether they need to sell some assets, cant imagine they have too many worth the 20m Euros mark
I agree in principle but just because we can afford it for one player doesn't mean we should pay it for another. Like you say though, if this guy ticks a lot of boxes for RLB then we may be willing to
According to Santi they want €25-30m including bonuses, according to the other report they want "much more" than what we offered
Like that he seems a different type of striker to both Wilson and Mayenda, one that id be happy for us to get over the line
What’s he like this lad? I didn’t watch a huge amount of France in the u21s the couple of times I did he wasn’t playing/I was hammered
Busy striker, works hard, good off the ball, suits a counter-press system i'd say. Makes some canny runs too, just needs to improve his quality of shots like @JimHeron92 has mentioned
