Given that the club probably get rattled by Romano revealing stuff, I doubt they would be briefing him.
He will have got it from the agents.
That's a really low price. Struggling to understand this one.
He has played well for three years and left the club with a 40 million pound contract profit in the bank- and showed commitment to the end. Which is all that was asked. Never ceases to amaze me how folk can be so puerile over someone moving clubs to advance their career.
The fact is that MAC signed a contract pre-World Cup that protected his contract value at the time (around £50m) had it got to the summer we would probably have seen him go the way of Bissouma.
What we got was a player who gave 100% and helped get us into Europe. Yes, he is going for about £20m...
A correct mouthpiece though. He has got the sequence of events right about MAC. If he's correct nearly all the time I regard him as credible.
The problem is that if he reported we were signing an 18 year old wonderkid from Outer Mongolia that was the best left footed striker on the planet who...
I've reached the point where it's only the much maligned Romano who I look up.
Andy Naylor is mostly an after the event journalist with the odd nugget (I've cancelled my Athletic subscription as cheap as it was) and everything else is pretty much hopeful speculation. I can't understand how folk...
In The Athletic, on 26th April, Naylor stated that 'Losing Mac Allister and Caicedo would bring in upwards of £160million'
So if MAC is going for the fee that is stated, then Caicedo would have to go for £100m+
Or Naylor knew nothing of the release clause situation.
Fact indeed. But contrarily correct in a redundant way. The club may not have been approached by Liverpool, but it's clear that he is going. It's like the Met Office saying a storm is fast approaching and me constantly making the, correct, point that at the moment it is dry sunny and calm. My...
Brighton transfer news: Moises Caicedo and Alexis Mac Allister price tags set at more than £70m each
Sky Sports 05.05.2023
'The players are both on long contracts, which are not thought to include release clauses as CEO Paul Barber has revealed the club avoids them'
Melissa Reddy- Senior...
Not a typical release clause could mean that there is an agreed fee but Brighton have to give the okay for him to leave at that specific time, say, not in a January window if they don't want. Basically they agree he can go at a suitable time and a suitable club.
He's clearly leaving. I'm just...
There doesn't need to be contact. If there is a release clause (Romano says there is) then they just agree personal terms and Liverpool come and meet whatever the conditions are. The Athletic were reporting 70m Euros (there may or may not be other stuff in there too).
