Well I certainly trust Ali Gold more and these stories are massively contrasting. If we are confident we cannot be 30mil apart.

I think they're a split off from the former twitter account @EuroUnited6 which seemed to have good inside knowledge at PSG. The account split into @parisunited6 and the Soccer Link one posted in the thread. Think EuroUnited was first to report on Aurier and Lucas, but I don't know about their other contacts

Apparently, Parisunited and Eurounited were sourced from Emery’s brother, hence them being first to break both those transfers. So most people don’t give ‘em the credence since he’s left.

Paris United were first and then Euro United became a spin-off, and was recently changed to Soccer Link. From what I've seen I don't think they are that reliable at all, and they definitely weren't the first to report on Aurier and Lucas.

TOTTENHAM, JUVENTUS AND MANCHESTER UNITED ACCELERATE FOR NDOMBELE

The Spurs, Manchester United and Juventus have submitted a first bid of € 60 million to engage the services of the French international community. Which would make him the biggest transfer of OL history.



First offer at 60M € ...
The French international enjoys an important rating on the European scene. Faced with this competition of which he is fully aware, Levy is determined to take action quickly, in significant proportions. The president of the Spurs has carefully prepared his offensive by scrutinizing the market and launched, in recent hours, a first bid approaching € 60 million.
€ 90m is what Lyon and Jean-Michel Aulas are officially asking for to release Ndombele . His profile of athletic, powerful, technical and performing in major events, continues to excite the continental market.

Juventus and Manchester on offense, PSG attentive
Ndombele
has other courtiers. Real Madrid has an option for the French midfielder, although no agreement exists between the player and the Madrid club, he remains one of the targets of the short list for the tracks of Madrid.
If PSG remains attentive to its situation, Juventus and Manchester United, have a contractual agreement with the player. The latter formulated a proposal similar to that of Tottenham, ie 60M €. Offer that should not be enough to acquire the old friend.
If they want to complete the deal, the clubs will have to play tight and get as close to the demands of Lyon. Because in this folder, the player is not in a hurry. He did not set a goal of leaving OL this summer. And even if the idea of playing abroad can interest him, he will not force anything.
ManU don't do anything quiet. Everything is a PR campaign. If they've bid and agreed terms with the player there is a 0% chance it's not going to light up their media circles in the next day (or even would have already if this is old news). I'm skeptical.

Personally I don’t think other movements in the market affect this deal as opposed to many others. I think this is a deal for us to make if we have the will (Poch), desire and cash ( which we now maybe do). I think this transfer is about selling the club to the player.
If Real or other massive teams decide they want him i fancy we are gone in the water but if the above are on point I think he is ours.

you guys take way too much notice of the media

its their job to generate revenue and make you click on their articles and get advertising revenue otherwise they dont have a job

reporting accurately is not a priority

Ally Gold is probably the most reliable media source we're going to get on the deal

If he's putting his neck on the line and says it's looking good, then we have to be happy with that

Look at what’s going on with AWB - or at least my interpretation of it: Figures of £55m being bandied around, which we’re not prepared to pay, so we step back. Quoting the ITKs: we’re not prepared to overpay for him.

So we realise the bid/ask spread is too high and we don’t engage.

If Lyon were asking for €90m for Ndombele then we would be looking elsewhere IMO and it really feels that for the (crudely) Dembele replacement (strong, good dribbling, etc) we’ve put most of our eggs in that basket. Or at least if we haven’t, we’ve kept the alternatives very quiet. I can’t remember another window where we were consistently (I’m ignoring the nonsense out of Portugal) linked with so few players, and I mean that in a good way

I don't think they are

And I'm also starting to think that we've got this deal where we want it

Lyon in advanced talks for young midfielder Jean Lucas from Flamengo...

Article below for those that are interested, looks like the N'Dombele replacement:


The kid has a 30 million euro release clause apparently.

That's good, because they won't be haggling over the transfer fee for weeks.

That said, I'm surprised he'd get a work permit; perhaps France have more relaxed regulations than the UK?
