I'm kinda stunned he isn't going to the EPL but Rick Westhead is reporting we've agreed to terms with him.
Just gotta deal with Bayern now. Hopefully we get that Kroos discount!
Who would realistically buy him?
I guess United would want to be involved... but who else? Chelsea are broke (or likely should be). He's not going to Spurs. Newcastle have money issues it seems.
City? Sure, they could likely make something work. But why? I don't know if he fits how they play and while they've been doctoring their financials for a long while, it would take a bit more creative accounting to fit what they would need to accomplish to get it across the line.
Liverpool would not be in for him.
Note... I think he's a special player when he's right. I think in Real, where they're battering a lot of clubs, he should fit right in. He also fits some of the less physical play for La Liga. I also hesitate to say when a guy is barely starting to get into his prime, but it's a bit of a gamble for real.
