£55m fee plus £7 M In add ons - total £62 m for a Brighton player - take a breath and let that sink in . We have a decent player to cover the gap for this season in case we can’t find the right player to buy in the next 3 weeks .
£62 Million !
Most people are greedy , if they can double their salary however big is it , they will , especially if it is geographically acceptable to them . Even if the player isn’t greedy , the agent will be !
I agree , I think that’s a distinct possibility , £50m for Cucu plus adds on taking the overall fee to nearer £60. Tagliafico will cost nearer to £8 M I suspect but still brilliant business , as he looks very equipped to do well in the PL .
With 4 years left and his massive importance to the squad , I think it might even require a bid including add ins to reach £70 M , sounds crazy but I think it would . How far we have come .
£70 m , we can play hardball , unless the player starts making it clear he wants to go to city next season . Tripling his salary is quite a big incentive as is probably winning the league & CL football . Difficult to compete with that but hopefully if he goes it will be for far more than £50 M ...
Personally I won’t take much notice of a tweet from not a well known journalist source , only 2000 followers . Not enough to have real credibility. Needs to have at least 10,000 followers .
With a little research it appears he’s on just over £1m a year currently so would probably almost double his salary if he came to Brighton for around £15m
