Pilko Posted July 25, 2025 Share Posted July 25, 2025 £130m plus some clauses & he doesn't go to Liverpool, let's get on with it. We'll be sound with Osula and Neave up front all season and it'll create PSR headroom for us to not use next summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if its reported Liverpool value him at £120m, then £130m is a good starting point for PIF Al-Hilal to enter the bidding, then see if anyone else matches or goes higher. PL cant argue its not FMV then, surely. Someones gotta kick this auction off. Edited July 25, 2025 by TK-421 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted July 25, 2025 Share Posted July 25, 2025 4 minutes ago, midds said: Sincerely hope we set a huge price tag on him and increase it as each window opens. Offer him a contract of £300k a week and keep it on the table permanently so he's always got the option of signing on and doubling his money immediately. Set a deadline of next weekend to get it done this window for £160m. Crank it up to £170m in January, £180m next summer etc. If he wants to play then that's spot on. If he's refusing then he trains alone for the foreseeable, it's a bit of a cuntish thing to do but then again so is refusing to go on a pre-season tour so he can 'explore his options'. Can't run with the fox and hunt with the hounds, that contract works both ways and he'll be almost 29 by the time it runs out. Just need to match his energy, he wants to be a dick? Match it. He wants to be reasonable? Match it If you become CEO you could probably pull Hurley, fyi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if Jackson, Delap and JP don’t cut the mustard. Chelsea have a set wage structure going forward that they are not moving off of. They already failed to land Osimhen because of it, as he refused to accept it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holloway Posted July 25, 2025 Share Posted July 25, 2025 I'd be way less bothered if he eventually ended up at Liverpool via the ££££ route, selling him directly to those entitled pricks just feels like handing them the title Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted July 25, 2025 Share Posted July 25, 2025 (edited) I hope it's just trying to fish out a bid from Liverpool so they can satisfy fair value by offering £10m more than their final offer.

500bhp Posted July 25, 2025 Share Posted July 25, 2025 But we can't sell him to an associated PIF club as UEFA will class the transfer fee as zero. Then we'll be fucked by UEFA for breeching their PSR rules. I know it's a fine but it could be tens of millions. We need a non PIF Saudi club to buy him. I'm sure our owners can facilitate that.

gdm Posted July 25, 2025 Share Posted July 25, 2025 (edited) If anything sums up this transfer window it’s Newcastle’s owners saying he’s not for sale while Newcastle’s owners put in a bid for him funny old game Edited July 25, 2025 by gdm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bidding has started so are you part of it or not? Will it matter tho, since Isak doesnt to want to go to Saudi anyway? And clubs generally dont bid for players unless theyve already made sure that the player wants the move. So either Isak is game for Saudi or PIF is trying to call Liverpools bluff here or something Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaqen Posted July 25, 2025 Share Posted July 25, 2025 I'm not convinced Liverpool want him for the going rate. Without signing Ekitike, possibly. But it's an absolute fortune to spend in one window on two similar players. Maybe wishful thinking but I think the only way they get him this summer is if we cave in and drop the asking price a fair amount. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
