BREAKING NEWS

Sky sources have been told that Leicester City have agreed a deal in principle with Manchester City for the transfer of striker Kelechi Iheanacho.

The fee could rise to £25m for the 20-year-old but there are, however, a number of contractual issues still to address, including whether or not there will be a buy-back clause allowing Iheanacho to return to the Etihad for a fixed price in the future.

We’ve also been told that Iheanacho has to resolve a dispute over image rights with his former agent before any new contract can be signed.

We understand there is a willingness on all sides to get the deal done, and the player himself is keen on a switch to King Power stadium. However, no formal announcement is imminent.

Bloody hell who is the agent Terry Venables/ Harry Rednap???

 

[Motown Fox]

Probably a Nigerian cousin of his who wants to drag out every penny he can get.

Stoke City winger Marco Arnautovic has this afternoon handed in a transfer request.

This is an interesting one. I could see him here.

Can't stand the Mardy prick

These ****ing agents need to be sorted out. They are playing a far to significant role in a transfer deal , mostly to line their own pockets. Millions of pounds are disappearing out of football,. Rules about their roles , payment and future interests in a given player must be introduced on both a European and World level.

50m for Sigurdsson is bat-shit crazy when you consider Liverpool signed Suarez for 22m. And Mata went to United for 38m. Mata is a much, much better footballer than Sigurdsson. And much better than Mahrez in my opinion.

50m is a massive inflated price. That should be reserved for those tearing up the league.

Agreed.
Absolutely unbelievable that this isn't regulated when they are taking young 'professionals' like Iheanacho, Sterling, Berahino etc and forcing them into corners just to line their own pockets.

Not to mention the one who is practically running Wolves now.

 

[homer]

40 million, 50 million, who gives a shit

Just feckin sign him

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

Maybe we can just do a swap with them, Mahrez for Sigurdsson?

Why on earth would we do that ?

Sign the fecker and play them both - it would be devastating

We spunked away a lot more money on the useless fecks Musa, Mendy and Slimani last year - the whole money thing is utterly meaningless

Only if POTY Mahrez turns up to play, rather than the post-POTY lazy fecker!

Liverpool signed Suarez for 22m

6 year old news

Mata went to United for 38m

3 year old news

50m is a massive inflated price

But nowhere near record breaking in 2017. Blame Sky. Blame the greed in the game. But with the super-rich owners that now rule the roost, as homer suggests, these figures are meaningless to ordinary people.

50m is not a bad price for Sigurdsson, considering John Stones to Man City was 50m, and he helped Man City concede more goals than Sigurdsson has scored for Swansea.
