Regardless of the fee structure, the reported fixed fee is £69m with add ons up to £80m.
Victor gyökeres reported fee is £54m + add ons of £8m.
Cunha's fee was £62.5m
Omar Marmoush (who was the main man before ekitike) fee was £59m with a further £4.2m (€5m) in bonuses.
João Pedro - £55m
All these players have scored double-digit goals in at least two seasons and are still cheaper than the one we're buying.
It's not about the cheaper alternatives but rather whether we should spend it elsewhere on other targets rather than paying over the odds. Pretty sure they have a long list of targets beside this guy.
Gyokeres is 27 years old. You don't know the fee. Look at Mbuemo's price. Arsenal seems to be stuck an impasse with Sporting.
Cunha has been taken long ago. Unavailable.
Marmoush is not a No.9 last i saw. Unavailable.
Pedro looked quite good. But stats are so so. Taken. Unavailable.
I am sure they have a long list, yes. But it seems they think Etitike is the best after Isak(/). Good N0.9 seems to be in the 60 to 80mil range.
68mil in the grand scheme of amortisation is not much. about 13.6 mil per year. I imagine his wages will not be that high.
Since you are looking for bargains, do you have any cheaper No.9s in mind?
Is Wirtz too expensive for you? We could just keep Elliot.
