Would be like us loaning Barnes to Liverpool with an obligation. To be fair, PSG got Kylian Mbappé from Monaco on that sort of deal. A kind of financial doping. Pay €x million for the loan, then the rest a year later when the move is made permanent. That said, I think with FFP relaxed this year, there's no real need to do this, unless a club can't afford the outright fee until the following year.

FoxinNotts Posted 1 August 2021 Share Posted 1 August 2021 There is absolutely zero chance of us signing Berardi. Not even sure why this thread exists! Have we had any plausible link? He’s Italian. The good ones rarely play outside of Serie A, and those that do play for top top clubs (don’t come back at me with Ravanelli please!) This just isn’t happening. We won’t be spunking £30m+ on any other signing, this window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a big jump and I don't think we would be willing to pay that much for him. It's just not in keeping with our strategy/style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny280995 Posted 1 August 2021 Share Posted 1 August 2021 €45 million is about £38 million in our money, so yes way to expensive for us 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcfc_forever Posted 1 August 2021 Share Posted 1 August 2021 Romano had said previously Sassuslo would say they want 45 million euros but in reality would accept 35-40 million euros. So this quote from their owner doesn’t change anything. The reality is it’s very unlikely based on our previous overall spend we have 35 million let alone 45 million extra to spend on a player unless we see some players leave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good memory, and that would make complete sense. Interesting though that Rodgers said he wasn't expecting anyone to leave. I mean, not even Ghezzal? Perhaps that's what's holding up us getting a winger... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a big jump and I don't think we would be willing to pay that much for him. It's just not in keeping with our strategy/style. €35mil plus potentially minimal add-ons is what we should be looking for. It's a critical position and if the club want him, they'll get him. If that were nailed down then I'd be hoping we can loan an experienced CB. Nothing I've seen so far has changed my views from last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomassi Posted 4 August 2021 Share Posted 4 August 2021 If Maddison does go for 70m, and we get this guy in for 35m, that's another remarkable transfer window - Berardi, Soumare, Daka and Bertrand for 75m so 5m overall outlay! Plus Sowah and KDH to come in. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most teams don't have a bottomless pit and by saying this it's not showing our hand so teams don't rinse us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
