I'd heard that his asking price would be more likely to be £25m+, can't help but think this £18m figure is being pulled out of thin air.
Based on the tremendous successrate Italian players has with us?I'd much rather we paid 18/20m for this lad than the 23m odd for that Brazillian spitter.
buy! 🙂He's not Italian, he's Colombian!
Nah, sometimes it helps to actually see the player himself rather than his nationality (not Italian btw) or league.Based on the tremendous successrate Italian players has with us?

The last player we bought from Serie A was Coutinho. Not only that, our previous Brazilian purchases were Aurelio and Lucas.
You must be bitterly disappointed we signed the little magician.
