If true, does feel like a this is our final offer in an attempt to get them to accept despite them supposedly having been happy with our previous offer. Either accept it now or we walk away as we clearly don't want to just be kept waiting until the end of the window.
This is from a Russian journo so a bit more believable. Also goes on to say that the player is now pissed with the owner as he wants to join Southampton as all release clauses have e been met by Southampton.
I think at this stage, I think we can say he wants to join us and isn't using us to get a better offer unlike Krasnodar.
I think the Krasnodar owner has been playing hard ball so he say to the fans that he did all he could to keep Spertsyan (who is clearly a huge fans favourite).
I believe it will be the 4th highest Malcom (from Zenit St. Petersburg to FC Barcelona) - €40 million (2019) Hulk (from Zenit St. Petersburg to Shanghai SIPG) - €40 million (2016) Axel Witsel (from Zenit St. Petersburg to Tianjin Quanjian) - €20 million (201 Arsen Zakharyan (from Dynamo Moscow to Real Sociedad) - $14 million (2023)
