Player Valuation: £100m
it's probably all gamesmanship and could be coming from both clubs tbf. United lie about agreeing a fee to get madrid and morata to hurry up proceedings their end, whilst we're happy for the story to run to get chelsea to actually act, because it's not in our best interests to let this drag. We've shown money is no object, but also we're acting quick to get all our dealings done as early as possible to have a nice settled squad before the start of the season.
Possibly also a case that maybe it's £75m+£15m more (as an example) to be paid next summer, which would help us more with what we can afford next summer as well, in the sense we wouldn't have to make any more big sales. Not sure how FFPP works entirely, but we've already spent so much without needing his sale, getting a full whack of £85m or so, maybe a bit wasted on us for this summer, so we would want it structured to aid us next summer?
