I would be shocked if Carr's contacts over their(and his agent) havent been straight on to him. Sounds like he wants out of France unless the big two spenders come in for him. If he goes for a reasonable fee then we can draw a line under us signing anything of quality at all imo.
Given that's pushing for a move to OM (and not PSG/Monaco) how have you figured that one out?
I read he's claiming it is because Garcia has left Lille. Seems to me he is either a) a total bellend, b) been horrifically advised or c) a mixture of the two.
A few i read were saying he wouldnt go to OM either so you would assume he would want to sign for the big two.
He sounds like he was badly advised imo.
Fair enough, I've not seen those.
Either way, I can't imagine Lille will let him fuck off without making a canny profit on him. Wonder if we are interested, his stock has only risen since January but so will his price and we know we don't like that.
Tbf those are from French twitter blokes as opposed to anyone official, just quite a few saying it that i saw. The big thing going for us would be Lille preferring to get him away from France rather than sell to a rival now its a 1 place shoot out for the CL there. They only paid €3.5m for him so anything above €6m would be a cracking profit for them. Cant see us bidding above €7m though.
Just seen we bid that for Gomis based on slightly more official Frenchies and they want €10m. I would be gutted if we paid that for either him or Gignac over Thauvin.
Well get ready to be gutted
