Summer Transfer Window Thread

[SW4Baggie]

Krovi -

‘Benfica crashed out the Champions League tonight. Spent £72m on transfers this summer, now facing up to a big hole in their budgets & need to sell to balance the books.’

Think this could work against us...  Krov has no future there under Jesus, they just want to get the best fee they can and whereas previously they'd have been open to a loan, I imagine their lack of CL money will mean they'll be pushing for an immediate sale and as much of the fee as they can get in advance. Whilst they'll probably accept a reduced fee vs. what they were asking previous, it's likely to hit our budget harder this year.

Also talk of Jesus not being happy - he's allegedly paid an absolute fortune and annoyed the club pulled out of the Cavani deal so if that relationship worsens, we may find we're dealing with a new management team!
