Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

I don’t want him to have the same choice Petrovic or Bulka had!!! I’m wounded

 

Totally get it. Just praying for a here we go sooner rather than later

 

From GFFN quoting the fabrice article


Personal term agreed?
Hawkins understands that personal terms would be no issue if Diakité were to move to the newly promoted Premier League club. Sunderland are keen to recruit the Lille defender, and the interest in moving to the English top flight is reciprocated by the centre back. Nevertheless, the Black Cats will have to meet the €40m asking price before any move can take place.

 

Well I'm not and I'm sure you aren't but so did I.

 

Catching up so diakite is open if we meet the asking price? Roughly £35m?

 

yep - £34.6m

 

Agreed, PIF is the sovereign wealth fund of Saudi, the financial arm of the Saudi government, they could not care less about getting their money back, they want sportswashing and to benefit their state
The money being talked about is peanuts to them
They own 4 clubs in Saudi, they all finished in the top five of the league last year
Oh, the government also own the league(of course)

 

hopefully he can get his career on the right track again over there (my national team needs him )

 

He’s also said in his article that talks are intensifying with us, if that’s the case then surely we are trying our best to get it tied up asap

 

GFFN aren’t ITK they’re basically the Andy of France

that’s just how they’ve read Fabrice article

 

Same here. All very positive signs

 

Yeah I know. I said they quoted fabrice’s article

 

^^^ wrong thread. Apologies

 

Quite an expensive fee given he's not really showed his quality in the last 2 seasons or so. He did look very exciting when he first came through though so I suppose that does get priced in but I wouldn't have him at that price.

 

Can someone sum up today

 

Diakite is very very close

Bournemouth apparently out the race personal terms aren’t an issue they want €40 mil and talks are intensifying between us and Lille

according to ITK on here we’ve bid around €34 now

Xhaka likely staying at bayer

 

Lauriente having medical then watching the lads friendly

Diakite is happy to come to us but Lille want 40m euro and we’re pushing to do it

 

Hahaha
