Just read this. Imagine if it doesn't go through now. We would look like the biggest bunch of wankers going lol.

Not surprised by this. We made deal with Timo and we will pay the clause. After we do medicals we will just give that money to Leipzig so no issue here.

They say we didn't meet, but this is a strategy, of course.

Hope we can finish Werner transfer

Werner to Chelsea...

Chelsea have agreed a deal in principle to sign Timo Werner from RB Leipzig. (Sky Sports, June 5).

 

Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United have 12 days to trigger Timo Werner's release clause if they want to sign him for less than £50m. The Germany international striker's €55m (£49m) release clause at RB Leipzig runs out on Monday, June 15 (Sky Sports, June 3).

 

Werner was persuaded to join Chelsea after receiving almost daily phone calls from Frank Lampard over the last few weeks (The Times, June 6); Frank Lampard and Petr Cech made an undercover pre-lockdown trip to Germany that helped Chelsea leapfrog Liverpool and Manchester United to convince Timo Werner to move to Stamford Bridge. (Daily Telegraph, June 6).

Chelsea plan to balance the books this summer with a series of outgoings after sealing the £54m signing of Werner. (Daily Star, June 6); Chelsea's bid for player pay cuts looks doomed after landing Werner. (The Sun, June 6)

Pedro is expected to join Roma on a free transfer at the end of the season. (Guardian)

Like I said yesterday, all those people around the internet saying "if he's so good then why does Chelsea get a free run at him?" were stupid.

All of the top teams in the PL were interested. It's just that we are in an extremely unique position to lure him.

Price rises when there is a lot of news for Werner

[ILeoniBlu 37]

I hope not to say nonsense, but i think there is a difference between "paying the clause" and "paying the amount of the clause"..

Let me explain: if the buyer pays the clause directly, without agreements with the club that sells, he must also pay the related taxes.
If, on the other hand, the buyer agrees with the club that sells and pays the quantity of the clause, without depositing the clause, he pays only the agreed one.

For example, if i remember correctly, PSG being unable to negotiate with Barcelona for the bad relations between the clubs, had paid something like 60 million more taxes in addition to the 222 of the Neymar clause.

If I said a heresy forgive me

Do you think RB is saying these things in an attempt to bring in other clubs to bid for Werner?

Why would they do that when there is a release clause? As long as someone activates it before June 15, RB Leipzig can't dictate the transfer fee.

He has a release clause. They won't make any more than that clause.

The reports suggested we were paying the full amount of the clause so they would have nothing to gain by doing that.

That's for sure. Therefore is important to have the agreement with the player.
And try to have good relationships with the club that sells, to avoid getting the deposit of the clause

Welcome back, WHS...unless you have been lurking around.

Paying full amount of the clause is different to "pay the clause"

Thanks mate. I'm around quite a lot, just don't post very often.

The likes of Ornstein, Matt Law, and Honigstein are as reliable as it gets. Ornstein on his podcast yesterday explained how the transfer went down in such intricate detail that it was as if he was personally in the room when it happened. Don't think there's any need to worry now.
