If we hit that clause it doesn't become about Rui Costa anymore, and it seems this saga is all about him and he's enjoying the limelight.

Just be calm, today was always going to be a bumpy ride, it always is with us.

Romano confirmed they are no changes as things stand same as last night, all down to Rui Costa

Ornstein- Still no deal for Enzo, the contract is odne but we won't above the 120ME clause. Not sure why we would go above the buyout, it's a clause for a reason

It's fine relax, Jim White said we have numerous bodies on the ground including medical staff to get this moving once the green light is given. Egbhali is London dealing with this and TB and Winstanley in Benfica apparently.

Find it hilarious, we are told Record is a complete rag yet when they post something like 'he could stay' people believe it 🤣

Medical staff and plane ready in Lisbon

We aren't daft enough to do what you said, it will be Santos and Enzo

But totally understandable though, they have gone from Caicedo to Jorginho😅

Here we go from Romano Jorginho is done. Benfica have lined up their replacement for Enzo, the pieces are starting to fall Jacob Steinberg has broke this

Ornsteing saying Jorginho to Arsenal all agreed 12M to summer 2024 at Arsenal training ground now

Matt Law confirming this now. Also, this is linked to Andrey Santos and making a gap for him and getting the work permit sorted.

Arsenal fans fuming and rightly so, he will do a job but he isn't an upgrade on what they have.

Mudryk is going to terrorise this lot.

Yep, and they are now scrambling to bring a in a midfielder to replace Enzo

Calm needed, this Enzo deal is going to happen it's just about structure as I said yesterday, TB won't let this not happen.

Ornstein has said Jorginho to Arsenal is advancing, this is the piece that fits with Enzo as if we don't get him we won't let Jorgi go

The deal for Enzo is is about to be completed. Watch in the next hour or so, massive

We are suffocating Rui Costa

Behdad is the one that is steering this exactly like the Mudryk deal- From reading reports he's adamant to get it over the line and used to getting what he wants

Benfica aren't weakening they have been insistent all along- We have now told them we will meet the money that they want. The player and agent are pushing and he's told them he wants to go. This deal is coming to a close and I 100% think no matter Rui Costa wants it gets done and we get him before tomorrow's deadline. Todd Boehly, Egbhali and Winstanley aren't in Portugal to pick fruit.

That's why the whole term 'negotiations' is a prominent phrase here used by all the top reporters. It's simply us saying' we are going to pay it and this is how want to do it' They will probably say no but this is where we have to ramp it up. I'm really positive that if it comes to it Tb will pay it up front and we get our man.

Massive pressure on Benfica now, the player is pushing and we have met the money that is needed. It's the structure that is being worked on, this is the last hurdle but one from reading around sounds like it will get done.

The club will be just sitting and watching all this and if Enzo is off and they will know that it's release clause or nothing then I fully expect us to go steaming in for MC this weekend and match the Brighton asking price. No way Todd is sitting around to allow Arsenal to trump us, unless we have bigger fish to fry
