Is that definitely pounds not euros? If so I'd take that. Pogba is outstanding but this is like when they sold Zidane and used the money to sign Buffon, Thuram and Nedved. Plus they've already got Kheidera, Marchisio and now Pjanic, which is pretty exceptional.

It's being reported as pounds, but as I said, it's still not been repeated by anyone I consider particularly reliable yet.
 
Transfer fees at the moment are ludicrous.

Average footballers commanding huge fees - the game is almost as ****ed as our club.

It's too late for bitching now GLP. The game is far more ****ed than even our club - it's been ****ed from the day it sold its soul to Rooopert Murdoch ...... the Aussie **** him.

Antonio Conte has just started his first ever Chelsea press conference, by saying he's confident Chelsea will complete the signing of N'Golo Kanté within the next few days.
 
I believe there is a release clause, but not a straight forward one and it's rumoured that Kante wants the move.

Assuming it goes ahead, it seems Matic is off to Juventus.

And with that, you can expect they will sell Pogba. There's no room for Matic with Khedira, Marchisio, Pjanic and Pogba as first choice with Hernanes as back-up..

We only have to accept the highest offer starting at £20M but Sven's Shanghai bid £35M at the start of the week meaning his release clause now stands at £35M

Are you sure? That's unusual. So what if he turns down Shanghai but wants to move to Chelsea, who bid say £20m - are you able to reject Chelsea cos another club has bid higher? And why the frig would a club bid higher than the release clause? Shanghai couldve just bid £20m as well.

My understanding is his clause just forces Leicester to negotiate, but that they can still demand higher bids. Not quite sure on the specifics though.
