Summer Transfers 2025 (rumours and incomings)

[beak]

In reality the club cannot do much about it if 1. the player refuses a new contract and 2. interested clubs repeatedly think they can get him dirt cheap because of it. Newcastle dicked us around all summer then finally offered his value with no time to rearrange our squad to cope with his departure. Liverpool take the moral high ground but they've done exactly the same thing albeit with a lower starting figure because of the less time on his contract. If Palace consider selling him in January they need to make clear what the price is AND go and get a replacement in thats affordable. Then all interested clubs know the score and we keep him for the final 6 months of his contract if we keep getting low balled.

I wasn't in any way in doubt or questioning events but it is not a good look,going to the pub on saturday I expect supporters of other clubs will enjoy this episode.

We can’t sell him in January if he doesn’t want to be sold. Indeed my understanding (may be wrong) is that he can then agree a pre-contract with Real Madrid or any other foreign club if he wishes to do so. This is how Liverpool’s low ball tactics might come back and bite them on the bum. The chances of getting money for him in January seem very slim to me.

Liverpool (spit) could always buy him for money in January to stop him going to a big club in Europe.
