This deal isn’t as close as some have made it out to be...no way it would be this quiet. We were getting regular updates in the Ndombele deal. Maybe that was more to do with their chairman to be fair.
Lo Celso wouldnt have joined the tour until later on since he is getting some rest post- Copa America so I'm not in a rush to conclude the deal. It seems like it's ours to make and the other clubs interested are very passive in their interest and we're waiting Betis out to get a reasonable transfer fee. The reports that we've agreed personal terms are probably behind a little bit but doesn't Betis have to give us permission to negotiate terms with him? That wouldn't happen unless it were close.
No club makes a bid without agreeing terms/ confirming the player wants to come, otherwise waste of time. Permission irrelevant.
Ndombele looked like a definite push to buy.
Along with Lo Celso there was talk of Ceballos and a possible deal with RM, Zaniolo also etc
Somehow we didn't go for it 100%.Ceballos and RM and Eriksen seemed a possibility a few weeks ago.
Now everyone is keyed on Lo Celso.
But nobody on our side seems to be pushing.
LowSaliba says high.
He's in Asia definitely not his officeThere's most likely a lot going on behind closed doors that we have no idea about, I highly doubt our dear leader Daniel is just sitting in his office twiddling his thumbs.
The Audi Cup matches have to be the aim for Lo Celso. I'll be worried if we've heard nothing by then.Wouldn't surprise me if the deal is pretty much done and he's simply been on holiday this well.
Ndombele started to move quickly once he got back. I believe news broke on the Sunday night, he came over on the Monday and it was announced on the Tuesday.
Could see similar happening with Lo Celso and Sessegnon, although I guess the tour could complicate things.
