Mhsc 1,097 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 85m offer perfectly fair to my mind. They’ve come to meet us seriously to discuss and the player is pushing for it. They’re obviously negotiating to push it up. If it doesn’t happen fair enough. Not the clubs fault if some fucking “ITKs” published some bullshit that we were meeting the release clause mkh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superblue 6,372 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 4 minutes ago, Jype said: If the highest offer from us was 85M€ and Benfica's stance has always been "120M€ or fuck off" from the very start, how is the 85M€ offer not a lowball? In fairness 85m euros is a huge amount of money whichever way you look at it. It's not a stretch that the club's enquiries have been enough to bring Benfica to the table initially, but there's too much distance between the two. I could see some negotiating and trying to get a few million off a deal or a lower fee and higher add-ons but I'd still be amazed if we've told Benfica we'd pay 127m and then only actually offered 85m. It's not just a case with damaging relations with Benfica in the future, but word will get around very quickly if that is how we're treating transfer negotiations and it will create multiple problems in the future. In the summer, Boehly was praised a lot from other clubs directors for how he conducted himself so for me it simply doesn't add up.

Pizy 18,928 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 With the form we’re in, City game should be fun tomorrow. Losing out on a key target that the whole fan base had been convinced was coming and then getting smacked by City will make the mood around the club toxic.

MoroccanBlue 5,383 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Yeah Boehly and Vivell looking like bellends. Stewart is next when his signing Badiashile is just Sarr reincarnated. Club is fucked. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoroccanBlue 5,383 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 The worst thing about all of this, is that Enzo WANTS the move. This isn’t like De Ligt, Dembele, or Raphinha where they were waiting for Bayern/Barcelona. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesper 30,196 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 fucking CLOWNS try to short stroke Benfica for €35-€42m after saying the would pay €120-127m then tossing out only €85m on official offer YET had no problem dumping €72m (£62m) on fucking CuCu and €40m (£33.4 at the time) on the turgid KK (AND PAY HIM almost £300K (295) PW which works out to 70m fucking euros just in salary over the next 4 years!!!!!) idiots!!!!

It's not a stretch that the club's enquiries have been enough to bring Benfica to the table initially, but there's too much distance between the two. Sure 85M€ is definitely a lot of money but surely everyone knew that was never going to be enough to land Enzo Fernandez in a January transfer window so if the club weren't willing to go past that figure, why even bother in the first place? Now they went in with an offer well below the valuation of Benfica and after fucking around for a couple of weeks with no developments we're once again the laughing stock of the transfer market. I'd certainly not have had any issue if the club never went after Enzo in the first place and cited him as being too expensive but now that they did and were once again embarrassed in the market, this whole fiasco just leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

Hashishi 148 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Boehly out. Potter out. We are a joke now. No club will want to deal with us. No player will want to come to us. There is no vision. There is no plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT apparently it is NOT what happened the €85m offer was the total, not the initial payment @FabrizioRomano Excl: Chelsea official proposal for Enzo Fernández was never €120m or €127m. The final proposal made to Benfica was €85m fee. Edited January 4, 2023 by Vesper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
