Looks like it might be progressing after those internal discussions - Saudi newspaper Al Riyadh confirms new Al-Hilal head coach Inzaghi has asked club officials to sign Nunez and talks are now underway with the players representatives.
Now a new rumor pops up that Juventus is interested in buying Darwin Nunez. Offer might be around 60m euros which translates to 51.8m pounds. I think if we get an offer in that neighborhood LFC will sell. This move might be contingent on Vlahovic leaving Juventus first though.
They have been trying to shift Vlahovic for a while so I think it both 1) almost certainly is contingent on that and 2) not something we should hold our breathe over
I think €70M and the deal will be done. Al Hilal. Let’s see.
Then we have to sign a central defender. We are patient! Guehi is the one, but if Palace are holding out for a bigger fee, we will move on to another target and come back for Guehi in January/next summer. Palace will feel the pressure of potentially losing him for nothing, and all of a sudden 35-40M tops will see a deal done. Much better than nothing, for them.
Then Isak. The barcodes had to/have to, go through their own version of the five stages of grief - denial, anger, bargaining, depression and finally acceptance.
We are nearly there.
Good luck to Darwin Nunez. If it is Al Hilal I hope he is paid a fortune and rehabilitates his reputation so that he has another good European club.
My suspicion is that they aren’t holding out for a bigger fee, but are waiting for either the Charity Shield to be played, or linning up their replacement before they let him go
