We have upped the bid for Maignan to 18M confirmed by Di Marzio, we offered 15M yesterday and have now upped the bid to reduce the add ons
This is getting done
I think it's another classic Joe Shields/Winstanley purchase that doesn't even improve us from Sancho, Madueke or Neto, just another middle of the road winger for what they are trying to get at a car boot price.
We will step the bid up for Maignan, we are just low balling them like any club would, it's a game of chess knowing where his contract is...
He will be a Chelsea player by Tuesday
I'm not sold on Ekitike either, he looks like just a slightly polished version of Jackson to me.
If we are spunking that sort of money I would rather it goes on the left winger we are hunting for
