⚽️THE FOOTY THREAD: Leicester v City, Lyon v Brest, Troyes v PSG, Sandhausen v Leipzig, Wiesbaden v BVB

Damn.

But honestly, Donnaruma is arguably the best GK in the world and he’s only 21. You gotta make that move if given the opportunity.

It’s not like Donnaruma is a 29 year old Courtois.

 

[Coupé It]

That would require, Dortmund paying Werner's current wages or Werner lowers his wages significantly. Highly doubt either one happens.

Good point, it slipped my mind Werner is the most overpaid Striker in the world.

Chelsea would be one a perfect destination for Haaland tho. It’s exactly what Chelsea need. It would be scary.

Damn 3rd kit is basura. Checkered crap is a hot mess.

only Mbappe can make this look good

 

[d3si]

No question it is very hard to land a deal on Haaland

Chelsea and Dortmund are building a good relationship lately. Thanks to the Michy and Pulisic moves

It's just Raiola concerns me the mostly. I won't be mad if Chelsea take a stand

Raiola looks down on Chelsea pretty much. Screw him

 

[worldbeefreeg]

Thought Dortmund made it pretty much clear Haaland wasn’t leaving this summer?

 

[fluid hips]

Kylian not going to Newcastle confirmed

 

[d3si]

Thought Dortmund made it pretty much clear Haaland wasn’t leaving this summer?

Yeah, they made it clear. They have no pressure. My best guess is the release clause for next summer must be highly rated

Dortmund state they will not be bullied into selling Haaland by Raiola

 

[Bantz Lord T]

Sheesh I didn’t realize so many of you guys we’re against being loyal patriots…

Argentina is my first love, but I always want the USMNT to succeed as well. It’s very cool to see Americans playing for Europe’s biggest clubs. This sport has come such a long way in this country…

 

[Verde Shuttles]

Unless Haaland renegotiates his current contract, his reported release clause that kicks in is significantly lower than his value. That's the leverage play Mino & the buying club have over Dortmund.

They did

Took the same stance with Sancho last summer and stood by it all window

That abomination is beyond saving.

Exactly. They can get around double this summer compared to what they will get next summer when the release clause is activated. I’m not confident that a sale will happen, but there’s definitely a play if a club offers €150M+.

It was easier to take a stance on not selling Sancho last summer because they knew they would still be able to get around the same amount for him this summer. The Haaland situation is completely different.

That’s because United is easy to punk around with

True but in this case they're possibly on the way to getting him for at least 20m cheaper

Yea but here’s the thing. Dortmund aren’t stupid. They know if an offer of €130-€150 million comes around, they’ll absolutely sell. That release clause hits at the end of next season for a rumored €75 million. Dortmund are bluffing here in my IMO. No way they’d risk losing €75 million if the offer came in.

Sancho is a different story, they could afford to stall because they knew they’d get about €90-€100 million for him sooner or later. One year wouldn’t really make a difference.

Haaland is a completely different story/case. 1 year makes HUGE difference. Any club comes in with a huge bid (Chelsea, City, etc) - Dortmund are selling. No doubt about it.

What in the hell is this Armada

 

[tomdiginson]

If Bernardo is available, Liverpool should go after him, but I doubt city sells to a direct league rival .

 

[Coupé It]

See what I mean, not a chance Dortmund leave over €75 million on the table. No way.

But if Chelsea pull this off mannnnn

I wouldn’t pay mind to anything Duncan castles says about city. I’ll wait to see if other reports say similar
