Nah, keep Thiago. Could be good to have him around if André joins.
Physicality of Kimmich with Kante's passing?
That would be our luck.
Previous posts shared on Andre on the The search for a new DM thread. Valuation Joyce mentioned seemed to be £20m.

I don't think he's more of a risk than Lavia, partly because he will probably cost 50% (or more) lesser but is not "half worse". I don't think we are in for him though - hopefully Schmadtke proves me wrong.

He has made progression year after year so that's nothing to worry about (still in Brazilian league at current age). He just became a father this Jan so that could be part of the reason why he wasn't in a rush to move abroad.

If true, then that's the end of this thread.

Well that's more reasonable to negotiate with. Haggling at 30m seemed daft
Plus the mid-season transfer window in the Brazilian Serie A was between 3 Jul to 2 Aug and they are halfway through their domestic season.
He still has a release clause of around 40m Euros
That’s the sensible thing to do - and we should be setting up a few deals like that for younger players.
The money’s there.

Yep.. do this deal now for January.
There’s one HG slot left for this season, then when Thiago buggers off, Gravenberch can take his slot next season.
Next summer - 2 x CB’s from our “normal spend” one of which should be homegrown, the other can take Mario’s position.
Then, if we decide to sell Salah - a replacement should be self funding.
I mean - Saka is the one - but that’s never going to happen.
I’d say there’s a question to be asked about LB - might be time to let Robbo go unfortunately. Not sure if any of our youngsters are capable of stepping up to DiL the gap.
As far as RB goes - Van den Berg, Bradley & Ramsey - surely one of them will be able to understudy Trent - or there’s 3 sellable assets to fund a new player - most likely need to be HG though.
We don’t need to sell anyone else from the current squad - if we need a bit of extra cash, given the prices players like Lavia & Palmer are going for - we should be looking for £50m for Carvalho if we actually want to sell him instead of bringing him back.
