Reports that Mahrez deal is nearing conclusion , 50 million plus up to 15 million add on,s being banded around .

The Karius Effect:

Roma allegedly demanding £78m/€90m for Alisson, and expect Liverpool to bow down, but plan to wait until after the WC.

Ironically, we may want to back Alisson during the WC (Brazil #1 over Ederson) to improve Roma's position.

However, RM also interested so decent chance Liverpool get snubbed anyway.

On the rise of Mbappe to us rumours again...

I think UEFA will make sure PSG is penalised for FFP violations in a way that ensures they don't have to sell him, and in particular designed to prevent him coming to us as a result of this.

Curious if UEFA can limit transfers out as a penalty? If not then perhaps they can limit how much revenue PSG gains from selling players (i.e. less than 100%) to helping meet any new financial expectations/limits imposed on them.

So, for example, until summer 2019 PSG can only apply 50% of sales of players to reported revenues in order to meet FFP expectations. UEFA could argue they are doing this under some claim that they want to really punish PSG badly to make sure no one tries what they did with Neymar and cleverly with Mbappe again. Of course, they are also doing this to prevent us from signing him, as their closest friends don't like these "state sponsored clubs" from the Arabian peninsula. This way they UEFA could discourage PSG from sales of players like Mbappe until next summer, which means other clubs could come sniffing, i.e. UEFA favourites Barca or Bayern) and then Neymar can go to RM next summer as well.

I could see that being specified as part of any transfer ban because I think UEFA wants to come down REALLY hard on PSG. I could also see them banned for maybe 3 or more windows from signing/buying players, plus fines, CL squad limitations, etc.

Everybody over to the Mahrez thread

If the reports of £105m for both Mahrez and Jorginho are correct, I think in the present climate, that is very good business done by Cheeky.
I mean two quality players for the price of a Pogba. Not to be sniffed at.

We need to sign another goalie we’re fucked if Ederson gets injured this needs sorting.

West Ham interested in PSG’s Javier Pastore. PSG looking to dump quite a few to afford Mbappe under FFP

PSG are a joke.
