Reports flying around that Barca are about to table a 35mill offer for Luiz.
He's one of the most important members of our squad and I'm glad we've slapped an off-putting 45 million price tag on him - the one area looking a bit thin is in defence and Luiz leaving would just make that worse. However, the asking price could leave us vulnerable if they decide to meet it only towards the end of the summer transfer window and/or if Luiz starts pushing for the exit.
Whether true or not, if we're gonna sell we need to sell quickly to give us time to find an adequate replacement. We need to communicate clearly that we will take 45 million NOW, which increases as we get closer to the transfer deadline. i.e. every day that Barca fail to meet the valuation, his price will only increase further. or i.e put up, or shut up.
