They can want the deal done and not be taken advantage of but they need to also realise they need to negotiate somewhere within reality, if nobody is willing to pay 75 million then chances are you're being unrealistic. I doubt he's worth that to be honest and I can understand Levy holding out. Also my understanding is this news comes from the Betis side which kinda weakens their position if they're trying to get the most money they need to wait until we're desperate, Levy never seems to get desperate he'd rather go without so.

Yep. Can't see Levy paying €75m.
The concerning aspect of this saga is that it's getting a bit late in the window to start going after alternatives (if they even exist?).

So am I mate really, was just posing the question for the sake of being open minded. Just hope we start to get some movement on this pretty soon.

I'd say they'd be lucky to get what we have supposedly offered (per BBC), circa £50m. I believe ITK (herc maybe) even placed the total value at £60m. He certainly isn't as sought after as Ndombele. He is a good age and one of the best performers in Spain last year, but so was (the slightly older) Sarabia and he went to PSG for under £20m.
I am surprised the deal didn't go straight through after Fekir signed. I'm pretty sure they took the buy option with the expectation to flip him. Even at £50m they cover the Fekir fee with the profit. They obviously think they can out-poker Levy. Saying they want a quick deal is a joke really.
The frustration comes with the situation. Push comes to shove I'd want Levy to just bite the bullet rather than leave us short/disappoint Poch, but at the same time that is playing into Betis' hands, and I don't want them mugging us off. I hope they just get together and thrash out a compromise soon.

For €75m you could get probably get Van Der Beek and Ziyech.

That's all well and good but what if Poch doesn't want these players? He obviously wants Lo Celso more than any other player.
The issue is that the current market is allowing clubs to demand ridiculous fees for players. In 2013 when we sold Bale the fees were much more realistic therefore whilst we paid a lot of was easier to bring in a lo Celso type

I really, really, really, really, really, really, really hope Poch has a second option because we can’t go another season relying on Lamela not getting injured or Eriksen losing form/ interest

Who does Poch want? If he wanted VDB or Ziyech I think we would know about it. Also it is not just about we can get two players for that money...you then have to pay two salaries.
