Its all rehashes of Marca, marca are real madrids paper. But theres no italian media over this like there is for chelsea. plus marca would love to stick the boot into jose

"goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois plus £40m." that's BS again

Confirmed what I anticipated this afternoon: Chelsea should propose in next hours 40m € +Torres to Napoli for Cavani, according to Sky Italy

Looks like another one of all these rumors floating around but i sooooo want this to be true!

That sounds like a fair deal.

The moment they don't take that offer is the moment we should withdraw from the Cavani race. Torres at the very minimum should be worth 20m euros. So that almost makes up the 60m euro valuation, which is too much to begin with.

One paper said ADL rates Torres at 20m euro., if this is rejected, walk away. Agreed. IF they turn this down, any club will literally have to pay the entire fee, 63m euro

dont see how napoli should meet torres wages...and i dont believe he wants to play in Italy and for Napoli tbh...

Well, I can really understand if clubs dont want Torres in a exchange deal. He is a huge gamble. He is not getting younger, you dont know how he will perform and he has a very large salary.

Dont be sitting up waiting boys. Their "few hours" seem a hell of a lot longer than ours

Would Torres accept that move? No way Napoli can afford his wages and would Torres really take a pay-cut? The best we could hope for is that Torres gets as high terms he can possible get at Napoli and then we're stuck still paying him wages for the difference. That's really the only way I see this happening.

Another thing you have to realize is that transfer fees are amortized and Torres still has 3 years on his contract which means 30M of his transfer fee still hasn't hit our books so if he's sold this summer that's really 40M for Cavani + 30M for Torres on our books. Although then Cavani's can be amortized but that's still a 30M lump-sum hit on the transfer budget by selling Torres alone.

He will take a salary reduction. The other option is the bench and he wants to be in the World Cup squad so he can't stay on the bench or play with the reserves like Malouda did.

Need to factor in Rafa to all this. He would gladly take Torres, id bet my house on it

but the problem is if we dont sell him, we will anyways have to pay 20 mil extra for cavani (which is 4 mil for this year,considering cavani signs for 5 years) + 10 mil of his salary = 14 mil. so we just get 16 mil in losses which does not include how cavani's inclusion AND torres' exclusion would probably mean a couple of places up in PL (probably 1st), fa/carling cup and an extra round or 2 further in CL. so all in all it would not be as big a loss.
