[Fak]

Can't believe the first bid was rejected.

So why not name the other teams? He doesn’t know. Thats a “change your payment plan Newcastle”

[BeloEmre]

I thought Sky Sports Germany told us we had not made a bid for Ekitike? 🤣

Might be Saudi club bids as has been mentioned previously by Fab

[Optimistic Nut]

If other clubs are willing to pay more, why haven't they?

[wormy]

Maybe all these clubs willing to pay more should actually submit a fucking bid then.

[SUPERTOON]

Payment terms seems something that can be easily overcome.

We might be PSR limited but we can't be cash poor.  Just drive a big truck full of gold coins up to their office and start pouring.

Took 1 week after Elanga bid was rejected to get the new one over the line.

Wasn’t it payment terms that held up the Elanga signing? Look how that turned out 

[SUPERTOON]

If we have bid that much, then it eventually gets done imo.

I’m guessing those other clubs were Saudi clubs, and he’s not willing to move to Saudi, so it’s a moot point

Depends if we pushing the budget to the limit and they want more now and less of add ons which would affect this year's budget. 

[The Prophet]

Following a similar pattern to the Tonali deal this.

 

News broke somewhat out the blue, our first couple of bids were knocked back and we sorted it two to three days later.

[Vaj]

Yeah this gets settled one way or another in the next few days. 

 

For some reason, I think we get him!

[Bunk Moreland]

"There are clubs who have already signalled they would be willing to pay more"

 

Sure... 

 

But payment terms is pretty much the best way to have an offer declined, hopefully an easy fix.

Not sure we're being used by Frankfurt, they'll just want a fee as close to the release clause as possible.

Thinking more the players side. Frankfurt up the anti meaning other clubs need to put up now which will suit them and Ekitike

Names none of them

I don’t want to wait. I’m sick of refreshing the page every two seconds Can’t help it! 

[GeordieDazzler]

Struggling to find a decent Frankfurt message board 

[BennyBlanco]

From a purely selfish point of view I hope this is sorted before Thursday. Thursday is when I bury my nan, Thursday is also possibly the day that my family see their arse because I’m checking my phone whilst burying my nan.

I assume payment terms is a translation type error. I dont think he means how we pay the fee but more how much, although it does sound like that.

[Kid Icarus]

Pay whatever it takes

Ekitike rejected a higher bid from us to go to PSG. He will make the choice he wants to make.
