We were 100% in for him a few weeks before we got Lukaku from what I remember, reports of Dortmund wanting 135m or along these lines with 20m towards Raiola and his father. We went for Lukaku because he was 50-60m cheaper overall but as we see right now we lost more in the long run than if we had Haaland now on big wages. I don't remember anyone reporting he didn't fancy us on the contrary we were discussing with Dortmund but they didn't wanna let him go unless we paid over the moon so we turned to the donkey.
If Boehly came in that summer I'm pretty confident we would've got him because he would've paid overpaid to get him.
