Sounds like we may have put in a £35m plus add ons bid for Sterling and £25m bid for Ake. Busy day for Boehly.

 

[chef]

Richarlison for £60m to Spurs doing the rounds.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Ugh, didn't see Raphinha to Chelsea coming. Chelski clearly building to be title contenders again

Think they might need some defenders first.

Would have been busier if he came up with an offer that wouldn't take half a second to reject.

 

[Cruyff14]

Damn, was hoping we would get Raph. Spew.

I guess thats just the start.

 

[Bradesmaen]

I guess thats just the start.

He's taking the United approach.

 

[chef]

He's taking the United approach.

I guess thats how negotiations work, we'll probably end up meeting in the middle

 

[RPCB]

I mean you don't have to wait for confirmation because it already happened by the club before he tweeted it.

Is not.

Those figures for Sterling is laughable.

Josh King would be a good get for a championship team.

 

[Cruyff14]

Those figures for Sterling is laughable.

Why?

 

[Jatz]

Why?

35m? Why on earth would City sell him for that little (especially to a potential rival)? He's homegrown, well proven in the PL, he's only 27.

I would've thought it would be far closer to the 55-60m mark. Maybe 50m if City are feeling charitable.

Final year of contract though. I think the fee will be closer to 50m.

The talk coming out is that we think we can get him for a similar price to Jesus. So we're starting below that.

 

[pantskyle]

With only 12 months left on his contract 35m is more than fair.

It's just the start of talks and who knows what the add ons are. I think it'll end up around 45-50m which is pretty fair considering he's only got a year left.

City don't really bleed clubs, I guess they don't need to.

 

[Sozabarus]

Just shows how far ahead City are of the rest when “big six” rivals want to sign their cast offs and that City are happy to oblige.

Very good get.

 

[citizen-erased]

Sterling and raph.
Wingers really an issue for chelsea?

Yes. Outside of Mount they aren't much chop. And a few are being moved on.

If Sterling wants to push the issue he can buy himself out of the last year of the contract by invoking FIFA Article 17 (Webster ruling) which says a player may pay out the remainder of their contract if his or her's current contract is older than 3 years to terminate it. At 300k / week that would be a payout fee of 16 million pounds.


There was some talk of Lewandoski doing this as it seems like he definitely does not want to be at Bayern next season but it is a drastic action and probably only one taken if there's a complete breakdown in relationship between player and club.

Lewandowski might but I've seen no indication Sterling is even entertaining the idea.

He hasn't actually handed in a transfer request has he?
