I am not saying he will ever go for that much, but he has the potential to play as a 60-70 million Euro goalkeeper if he goes to a better team. He's not world-class, but he's still class and why 40 million is a fair amount for him. You're underrating his talent.

All of these stats are greatly impacted by team defense. He's a very good keeper, but I have yet to be persuaded that he's one of the best in the PL let alone worth huge keeper money.
Brentford isn't this worldly beast of a defence or club to be fair. Sure, Thomas is a solid defensive coach, but Raya is very underrated on this board.

Well so this is kinda my point. He faces a high volume of shots, a high volume of crosses. Brentford had the second most shots against and third most crosses against last year. I am unsurprised that he would therefore lead those statistics.
"Meh" might have been glib, but he led the league in save% even while Brentford were middle of the pack with regards to xGA vs. GA. Their xGA per shot against was low. That indicates to me that he was making a high quantity of saves on low-medium level chances.

Add his ball distribution to that. I think it was Klopp who called him "Brentford's number 10"

His distribution is definitely very high quality, no doubt about it. Long pass completion rate only beaten by Ederson and Alisson. Curious about his shorter passing tho, his average pass length was 40 yards and 50% of his passes were over 40 yards.

His long balls are quality but he isn't too composed during build-up. And Ange doesn't really want his goalkeeper to kick it long too often.
Then Vicario is going to be perfect. Check out his triple save against Roma when you have the time. I'm convinced that if Cagliari had kept him instead of Cragno two years ago they wouldn't have gone down.

While Tonali is a solid player, I don't think he has done enough to warrant a 75 million dollar price tag.
If Enzo is worth 121, Tonali is easily worth 75. I know which of them I'd rather have.

Just saw this and was going to post it. Sounds like you might want to prepare to care...
I'm not so shocked pending the fee and/or the wages. He's still young enough at 29 (essentially when the season starts). I'm just curious about the wage though because PSG sounded like a thing.
