Atleti has a transfer ban this summer, so I don't think they will be selling anyone before the winter window.
Selling is not an issue for them. It's the players they want to get. Lacazett and Costa have both made some rather obvious comments about moving to Atletico. Both have also stayed put so far.
In the last couple of days Paris have decided to no longer pursue PE. That meant the Chinese pursued him. Now Bild is saying that even they've dropped out. All likely because of wage demands. I'm not sure what be wants. 20M is just too high. He has no choice but to stay.
In the back of my mind - I got the feeling Auba really wanted to stay, so long as he got a decent salary (8M ish). I think it's Watzke who is keen on cashing in.....
I'm unsure how reliable that is but the number I read was that he wants 10 million after taxes. That is impossible for us and he won't earn that in Germany. Our limit would be around half of that.
He won't earn that in Germany? We can only afford half that? Hell...... we pay Rode almost half that. We can readily afford a salary in 8M range without stretching our destroying our salary budget. His salary is completely unacceptable.
You are mixing up net and gross wages. Even Bayern doesn't pay what Auba wants if these rumours are true. Half of that demand is in the Reus territory.
Lewandowski is the highest earner and even he ears a gross of 15M. I'd concur that Bayern pays out a huge chunk of its CL and BL earnings in bonuses.
LMAO....ya'll just don't get it...gotta spend money to make money dawg!!! DOLLAR DOLLAR BILL YA'LL know what I'm sayin?! This is why BVB will also be a small club, 'bcos you aint got no money and what ya'll have you aint spendin on the big time players! You gotta pay Aubamayeng the big dollars know what I'm sayin' Dawg!? Cough up some serious shit for the brutha! Like, 20Million dollars per season you wan to keep him....or ya'll could just sell him to us LOL we made money and won a whole heap o'shit with spending money on this man and my homeboy Robben. What's BVB doin? punk ass team
You know, we signed Bartra last summer but Glik went to Monaco for roughly 11M Euros. And he reached the CL semi's with Monaco and won the title. Were we not in for him?
thought we were after him,but knowing how 'good' our last signing from serie A was,some people (including me) here happy it didn't happen. slash even prefer him over toprak back then.
He's 29, hotheadded and generally Monaco's backline is considered their weaklink. Monaco getting to the semis was also circumstantial. Meanwhile Glik was at fault for plently of goals vs. Manchester City and Juventus. As a Polish NT fan I'm biased towards him, but would I take him over Toprak? Yes. Over Bartra? no.
This is some kind of a joke or some people don't know that Bartra and Glik are two different types of defenders. Bartra is a ballplaying CB, Glik isn't. We needed to replace Hummels, not Sokratis. Glik and Toprak are both crap. Not worthy of BVB.
Pulisic said in an interview he could never move to Bayern and that while when he was growing up he wanted to play in the PL, now that he is in the BL he is not thinking about a move and he is really happy in Dortmund
so city want Auba, anyone else fancy cash plus Kelechi Iheanacho? http://www.skysports.com/football/n...step-up-interest-in-pierre-emerick-aubameyang
I'll take 50M plus Jesus. Use the money to buy Lacazett. Also use the rest of the transfer funds for the damned RB.
i'd rather use the money to raise team's salary cap. so many player left us due to bigger paycheck out there,it definitely has to stop.
It's puzzling that United are not focusing on Auba and instead will end up paying 140 million for Perisic and Morata.
