Dortmund bought him for 17 million or so, unbelievable in todays market, Dortmund certainly know how to spot talent and get it at a knocked down price. At that price we should have been interested given the Auba situation.
Now that ship has sailed and we'll have zero chance.
Would assume Dortmund signed him with an agreement that when he wants to move on the transfer fee won't be huge.
Who knows but I doubt it. Dortmund seem to be good at signing quality players, we need to get their entire team over to us.Originally Posted by dazthegooner
perhaps there is a hefty sell on clause hence the low initial price.
20m was his release clause Dortmund paid I think.
My head says we won't be signing him, while my heart says we won't be signing him. My gut says we won't be signing him. I have a hunch we won't be signing him.
Für eure Sicherheit
His release clause from Dortmund is around 50 million or less (I don't remember the exact number). Which is why the thought even came into my head at all. Either comes into play this summer or next...apparently.
If Auba is sold he needs to be replaced. Why wouldn't you try to go for the youngest best player available....however unlikely it may seem.
Well yes....if we weren't interested before he went there...why the hell not? Nobody would have thought Dortmund would be able to sign him....so you do have to at least try.
To be fair Dortmund have long been considered a place for young players to really elevate themselves.
Apparently Halaand only has a 60m release clause, which was insisted on when he signed. So it’s obvious he will be moving on when the time is right. Cheeky bid tbf.
