I don’t believe that bid is real, but don’t underestimate how stupid Chelsea could be. They seem to have massive Big Club Syndrome going on and maybe their ego simply won’t let them miss out on a target. United the same, paying the best part of 100m for a lad from the Eredivisie because their ego won’t let them walk away. We’ve even seen it ourselves when we ended up paying way, way over the odds for Sigurdsson because we couldn’t let go of a target.
It’s the deal we should be asking for, and seeing the way certain clubs are getting rinsed you never know.
