I wouldn't believe that either.

We were never getting £80m I always thought he signed a new contract so if he did have a good season he could leave for a reasonable fee which the Spanish two would meet. If no one came in for him he had a fat new contract to fall back on.

We can't be too sore we could of lost him last season to our league rival for £40m instead we kept him ignored his release clause and we qualified for champions league football and will get a better fee for him.

£60 is still very shy of $80 though, that's the bulk of Lallana right there and is a huge chunk of change. We're under only a small bit of pressure to sell; it's not like Kroos who's run down his contract. There's a lot of time in the transfer window to talk and Barca have the transfer ban to come so it'd be stupid to take a cut price (speculation on the £80 million clause here) when the ball is firmly in our court.

Deal done according to irish indo. €79 million according to Spanish reports

Spanish reports me hoop... Moreno's been on that flight to Liverpool for about two weeks now.

If there is a 60m release clause , someone at the club seriously needs to be shot. That simply is 20-40m below what he is worth. This is turning into a disaster at this stage if that is true. Sanchez going to Arsenal on top of it all would be just too much.

Its actually possible on top of it that we are going to spend 50m on southampton to boot. Its getting farcical at this stage

60m is good money. Bale's money skewed the prices a bit and you would be expecting too much for another 80m to be spent.

We could end up with an unhappy player like Torres if he stayed. He was going no matter what we did.

Ya but if his release clause is only circa £60m we can do nothing about it if it's met and he clearly wants a move to Barcelona.
Has there been a single credible report of his actual release clause?
So the ball is not in our court.

If that was the case that it was that then I'd have no complaints other than it being put there in the first place. I prefer the Spanish style- ridiculously overvalued release clauses of 420 trillion and the like, failing that something a little bit higher than 60 in order to at least help as a bargaining chip.

Sending him abroad is a positive but if it means Arsenal get Sanchez as some by product it'd be pretty painful.

Edit: the other element is that if there wasn't a release clause would there have been discussions? Unless Barca had expected to play a cut-price for him (which is probably what they wanted but f**k them and the poachers' suv they rode in on!). I think what had been reported often earlier in the year was £60 for barca or real and £80 for anyone else. If that's the case then 75 million euro adds up. It's a weird one though and is purely speculation until we know further.
