You doubt he will come?
I dunno mate, but with Benitez telling Hammy Rodz to leave in no uncertain terms, and the vague rumours about Mina wanting out are anything to go by then he's not going to get the best recommendation of the place when he asks his Colombian Team mates about us is he?

I'm sure if anything it is a mutual understanding. I'm sure James would like a different club no matter what. I don't think any of is have proof either way.

Don't think Benitez is racist against Colombians. Might have an issue with exlody ham-ez. I dono.

I'm sure a deal can be done. I hear him and Mina get along on the national team.

Grow up mate.

Oh it's entirely mutual, Benitez has told him he's not wanted and Hammy Rodz isn't going to stick around to pooped upon by Benitez for a second time.
Perhaps having Diaz would make it more likely that Mina would stay? but then again it's down to Bulbous Benny and his wage reduction push.

Just saying

I will not go further with this dialogue of jumping to conclusions, hearsay and attacks on my maturity.. unless you apologise for the name calling of Big Balls Blue Benjamin. Or quadruple B for short.
 
It’s all speculation but I would hazard a guess that when he arrived, we had to buy out his contract, which effectively means we handover a load of dough that ultimately gets handed over to James to leave Madrid.
That may or may not be spread over 2y of his contract with us.
Football Leaks published his salary at Madrid as £129k / week and he had 12 month remaining iirc, so the buy out might have been around £6.7m
Let’s say he’s on £140k/w here, or £14.5m over the 2 years…..
£6.7m + £14.5m = £21.2m contract over 104 weeks = £203k/w.
It we were to trigger the 3rd year that looks more like £6.7m + £22m = £28.7m over 156 weeks or £183k/w exc any loyalty bonuses.
So regardless of what his weekly pay packet says, but hook or by crook I suspect we owe him at least £21.2m over 104 weeks, of which he may have had £6.7 as a signing on fee already (or we may be paying that over the duration of the contract, but either way he’s getting it)
Not suggesting this is a fact but just my suspicion.
Apologies to the TL: DR crew
 
based on this document i reckon porto would probably only offer to pay up to 60k of his salary which would make him their second highest earner after Otavio

Or they could pay him a big ol’ signing on fee to make up the difference (curtesy of us paying them for the other fella)
 


By the looks of it, he prefers a move to Italy at this point in his career. Milan could cover his wages most probably, and with interest from other parties, we may be able to get a €5-10m fee from them as well which could be banked as pure book profit.

TL ; DR

Apologise please.
 
Would have liked him to stay but understand why the club want to move him on. Still think has shown his quality here esp that pass for rich in the derby. Wish him the best at porto and hopefully diaz work out at us
