They've tended to do quite a few loan to buys in the last few seasons as well, such as Locatelli & Chiesa. Getting £35m for Kulusevski guaranteed. De Ligt also looking to move on for big money. Dyabala and some high earners off in the summer, big rebuild project. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan LCFC Posted 28 March 2022 Share Posted 28 March 2022 After Barca's recent splurge I fail to believe ever that any of these big clubs are low on money. I reckon any of the big 3 in Italy could pay it. Not sure AC would though. I can see Juventus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milan definitely wouldn't, they have had to be very careful with their wage structure and their incomings, and Inter isn't much better off - they replaced Lukaku with a free transfer after all. Think Juventus is really the only realistic "next level" destination for him, but they won't be inclined to overpay when they have us over the barrel. Arsenal might go for him but I think his physical limitations would probably hold him back from moving there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stadt Posted 28 March 2022 Share Posted 28 March 2022 We paid £18m for Castagne with a year left on his deal. Ings went for £30m with a year left, he's not going anywhere for a similar fee to what we paid. I can see Juve and Real being interested. Real especially as they've an ageing midfield and it's not like Kroos & Modric are particularly strong runners either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, there aren't many if any Italian teams that would be willing to fork out 30+m for him I don't think. I'd suggest that he's far more rated by Leicester fans than likely suitors. I don't see anyone else being that excited by him because unless he improves considerably, his 'overall' game and contribution really isn't as special as some people claim it is, the word 'potential' has been banded about for a few years now yet he somehow has to leave us to flourish? Players like Marhez, Kante and certain players from our past stood out like sore thumbs prior to moving on to bigger things. Tielemans doesn't, he just has potential. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premiership teams are more willing to pay more than Spanish and Italian sides because quite frankly, we have more to waste and more to spend on wages. It's part of what make us more attractive.

Ric Flair Posted 28 March 2022 Share Posted 28 March 2022 Right footed left winger but if we don't bother with Lookman then I'd love us to have a look at Samuel Lino from Gil Vincente. 9 goals and 5 assists this season, 22 year old Brazilian. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicolo Barella Posted 29 March 2022 Share Posted 29 March 2022 Apparently Napoli don't want to pay their loan clause for Anguissa (15m), I would be really interested in him if we can offer a decent sum to Fulham and they take it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuchsntf Posted 29 March 2022 Share Posted 29 March 2022 Because Now The Market has been for us... I would look to turn this forums approach around... Priorities... Do our Damn best to Keep both Tielemans AND Praet..I actually Dont believe we will find mch better than Mendy, this could be his era . If Ndidi extends his Leicester career,I See no panic there...(DM) To get a RW, its One of those situations, a Top RW will either to fall into laps or he wont...I Dont think we are so Desperate for one,no matter how preffered. A Quality CB..Though an on the Button support & Development of Nelson, could sooth any desperation.. Another young CF, who gives us Plan B & C... A Club like Leicester should get off this Transfer merry-go-round, and not Buy for buying sake....and buy if it is Somebody who lights up our imagination... and a large Improvement on any individual positions we already have that does push us forward... Instead of Selling our biggest quality assets, Why Not 3-5, that havent pushed on or improved our/their levels, these last 3 years... Isnt that how it should be... A 95% fit squad of our top players, are still Good enough to compete for those Top 7-4 places. The achieving has to be earnt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not exactly a physical powerhouse and doesn't have the pace to play in the system of a lot of big teams' midfield (like Liverpool). Expecting much more than 25 million may not be realistic at this point. The club may not want to sell him at that number, but if he pushes hard for a move it's going to be difficult to avoid it.

Hopefully the increase in revenue helps, but we also have to make efforts to reduce our current wage bill which is super high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 160k contract is 8.3m a year x that by 4 years its 34m How much is a replacement going to cost in transfer fee 30m? They aren't playing for free so lets say they are on 50k week for 4 years 10m So new player would be around 40m in total. Chance are are two big earners Vardy and Kasper, leave in the next year or so or sign new contract on reduce term due to age.

fuchsntf Posted 30 March 2022 Share Posted 30 March 2022 What I find unfathomable...just because Tielemans our agreed star player has had a wobbly time. Fans are now doubting his value... has the player or financial rescource.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we use your figures, keeping him costs £34m, and replacing him costs £40m minus the fee for Youri, which shouldn't be too far from that amount. Replacing him could effectively cost us nothing, or even bring a profit. Edited 30 March 2022 by Raw Dykes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 30 March 2022 Share Posted 30 March 2022 With every passing season and the rules change to make it harder for teams outside of the big 6 to compete, I really hope we loom to focus a large part of our rebuild on young players in the 16 - 21 category. They might not be the ones required for this summers 1st team refresh but given we need to cut the squad of our expensive fringe players, especially if we don't have any European football then we need a much deeper and talented academy to lean on. It's quite surprising we've not looked at Derby's dire situation in recent years and taken any of their best youngsters, or West Brom who Villa, Wolves and others have nabbed time after time as they have one of the best academies out there. I do wonder if we morally don't like to stoop to such methods but as long as we do it in the right way and provide a platform and culture for the best academy players in the Midlands then why shouldn't we? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
