Dear Leslie,

I know you like to get a good deal and get players for a little bit less than their actual value. I’ll admit that in the past you have pulled a few blinders.

However, just this one time, please just pay the amount they want. The extra £5m compared is nothing compared to the cost of relegation.

We may have to pay extra because our transfer activity over the last 18 months hasn’t been that good. Plus, the way the market is going in a few years £30m will only buy a third choice goalkeeper.

Anyone know if that means we can sell Forster for that?!

If indeed the extra £5m story is true, which at this point is just a story that has gathered pace.
 
Never know because the Echo is the Echo, but their take on events isn't exactly 'done deal' territory:

There is confusion over the exact state of the negotiations, with Saints prepared to spend big and meet what seemed an initial valuation, but reports in Russia indicate that Spartak want a €30m buyout clause hit as well as an additional 15 per cent, that is payable direct to Promes if he moves.

That would suddenly bump a deal up towards €35m, which would be well in excess of Promes’ market valuation and would almost certainly scupper a move with Saints unlikely to want to pay so far over the odds.

Saints are still looking elsewhere and are ready to react with an expectation that there could be a few market moves and something else may crop up.

However, with the addition of Carrillo, Saints manager Mauricio Pellegrino has already indicated that he is satisfied to keep going with what he has rather than spend far too much on a player, or bring in one that won’t have the desired impact.

That's what I had been guessing pretty much since I heard the 25m bid.

I could only imagine we were going forward with this if we were prepared to meet the clause. And once hints started to come out that promes was interested I was confident it would get done.

But now it feels like alderweireld all over again.we're bidding the amount we thought we agreed on which turns out to be wrong due to contract clauses and we're to stubborn to change our bid.

But I'm just guessing. And I hope there's still some negotiation to be had here. Reports saif we bid more for alderweireld but by that point spurs had come in and he was gone.
