I like the sound of this and fancy the lad more than Maupay. As it happens I'm in Morocco now, and I had a run-in with a snake charmer yesterday. He WAS shitehouse.

That's how I read it. Sounds thrilled at the prospect of coming here!

Though if an offer was accepted I think we would know. I suspect he wants to play in the premier league and they’re asking for more money

That’s my guess as well. Ironically probably because he’s a footballer and we’re probably going to pay him more money. Unless his brother comes out and says it was always his dream growing up in Morocco to play for the Albion of course...
I heard he's got family who are Albion season ticket holders and they think we're shitehouse.

But 20m Euros is the release payment according to that first post, so how could they ask for more?

Can a player turn down a release clause that he presumably negotiated?

The €20M fee is a release clause, so there's not much negotiating to be done. Given that the only disagreement we've had with Leganes is over the structure of the payments (according to the original report), it seems a bit odd for him to kick up a fuss about Leganes not accepting the offer when the reason they haven't is so uncomplicated, merely a technicality and should be fairly quick to remedy. Therefore leading me to think that he just doesn't want to leave

There appears to be a debate whether we pay a transfer fee or the clause - apparently it puts different obligations on the clubs. I assume it’s down to this

My guess is that there are maybe some bigger clubs who are interested in him, but at a lower price. His club are holding out for the minimum fee in his release clause. We will meet it, but the other (bigger) suiters won't. So he ends up being allowed to talk to us, but not allowed to talk to another club perhaps he would prefer to sign for given the option.
That's just a guess obviously.

I think that's a very good argument. However, the player doesn't have to leave, even if the asking price/release clause had been met. He could simply see out his contract (or negotiate a better one) in the club that he's already tied to. A player in contract can't be forced to move to another club against his will.

It shouldn't be too hard to shoehorn it into Nessun Dorma

Think we'll just have to let this one play out, on the assumption that he wouldn't join if he didn't want to. And I actually doubt Potter would sign him if he didn't
Agreed. No way we'd sign him if he didn't want to be here.
