Re: Transfer Rumours/Wishlist
Does seem to be some substance to this one...people like the Athletic are reporting it and they don't tend to pop up unless they've had some good intel.
I'm the scumbag outlaw. You're the pillar of justice. Neither of us like looking at ourselves in the mirror. Do we have a deal?
Re: Transfer Rumours/Wishlist
As per Chelsea are linked as well, i'm sure someone in pif is leaking our targets

Lots of AC fans kicking off, sounding like there is a lot of substance to this one.

Newcastle United are close to an agreement with AC Milan to sign Italy international Sandro Tonali for a fee in the region of €70million.
Subject to finalising negotiations, the Premier League club would be landing their top target to bolster manager Eddie Howe’s midfield.
Newcastle launched an ambitious bid to sign Tonali with an offer of around €50million on Tuesday, but the situation has progressed after face-to-face negotiations today.
Tonali, who also attracted interest from Chelsea, emerged as a key target early in the window, with Howe seeking two midfielders after the club secured Champions League football next season.
The transfer could match the club-record purchase of Alexander Isak, who arrived at the club from Real Sociedad last summer.
Newcastle are also looking for a wide forward, a centre-back and a full-back but midfielders — a defensive and a more versatile option — are the priority additions.

Tonali, who will captain Italy at this month’s Under-21 European Championship, helped Milan win their first Scudetto in 11 years in 2022, performing multiple midfield roles under Stefano Pioli.
The 23-year-old started his career at Brescia before joining Milan in 2020, making a loan move permanent the following year.
He made 48 appearances for the club in all competitions last season as Milan finished fourth but reached the Champions League semi-finals for the first time since 2007.
Newcastle, who finished fourth last season to secure a place in Europe’s top club competition for the first time since 2003, are also keen on Leicester’s James Maddison if they can strike a deal at the right price.

It will most likely be around 40m
Then 10-15 over few years
Rest would be based on appearances and other variables such as competition progress etc

Re: Transfer Rumours/Wishlist
Yeah, I imagine we would structure it smartly. For whatever reason Ashley never seemed to do that, but when competing at the echelons we now are, need to structure all big transfers in specific ways in order to account with FFP I suppose. If this goes through, what a f***ing signing.lassassinblanc wrote: ↑Wed Jun 21, 2023 5:09 pmIt won't be 70m upfrontCabella's Invincible Hair wrote: ↑Wed Jun 21, 2023 4:42 pm

Depending on the exchange rate, would it count as breaking our record again? Google tells me 70m euro is a little over 60m sterling. Depends how is structured. Although Almiron was widely reported as breaking the long standing Owen record, though I'm sure that involved a lot of addons and installments.

And now my Italian-Canadian friends are reaching out to me upset that Tonali may leave Serie A. And they're not even AC Milan supporters! So that says something about his quality.
