I would also rather have seen (Osimhen €75M) or (Ekitike €100M) with us than (J.Pedro £50M) also I would rather have (M.Rogers £90M) or (Rodrygo €85-€95M) than (Kudus £55M-£60M) but the salaries or asking prices are insane and way too high for the players mentioned.
I trust our scouts they wanted Duran who blew up they wanted Samu who blew up etc.
I'd rather take J.Pedro and Kudus than Garnacho even if they don't play the same position.
Breaking Joao Pedro, also wanted by Newcastle, is leaning towards a move to Chelsea if they can reach agreement on a fee.
Chelsea have had a proposal of around £58m rebuffed with Brighton wanting in excess of £60m.
