1 -- You quoted an article on vital football saying his value was 17mil....
2 -- I think most of the forum knows who Lozano / Neres are...
3 -- PSV and Ajax arent participating in the same market...unless you count them both being Dutch?
One team was a whisker away from the Champions League final and earnt a fortune from that and so are able to ask whatever price they desire seeing as De Jong and soon De Ligt will bring in a huge pot for them. They will be cash rich.
So its not a 'mute' point and neither is it a 'moot' point
4 -- Players have other attributes other than on the pitch...knowing they get along with other players in the team has to be a positive.
In short, Ajax can ask whatever they want for the player and if Brands and Silva see something which can benefit the squad worthy of that fee then they will try and sign him.
Indeed he did + thats now recognised by Brazil, a team Malcom has yet to be capped by...and yet valued at a similar amount.
