Don't forget that he's not really settled in London. He's being professional but it's not an idea long-term scenario.

I still see him coming back to Milan or Inter inside the next couple of seasons, once they have established themselves as better sides.
It would reflect poorly on him if he left now. Clubs want to see at least some sort of loyalty when they hire crazily expensive managers.

I think so, my point is his front office just like ours got to make moves before it's too late
Personally I'm not too bothered when it happens as long as we get the right players in time for the bulk of pre-season. The market is such a feeding frenzy now, worse every summer, but one or two moves can suddenly shuffle previously unobtainable players.

Have you seen the numbers of the Romelu Lukaku deal? Not only Chelsea would never agree to this, but I am sure Conte himself would never agree to this outrageous numbers.

I'll quote you from The Times which for me it is the 2nd most reputable source only after BBC.

£75M up front + £15M in bonus related performances (easily reachable as pe The Times) + Rooney on a free. Moreover United have agreed to pay 1/2 of Rooney's salary (£130k per week) for the remainder of his contract (next two seasons) and pay Mino Raiola's fee as well, £12M.

Listen, he'd have been my 1st choice, too, but this numbers are completely crazy and no way Chelsea would have agreed to this. It's basically £87M if you include the agent's fee, that could rise to over £102M. A good centre forward, but is he worth that money? I don't know...

Rumours gathering pace now on Aubameyang after Sky Sport Germany have reported last night that Chelsea are now in for him. Made available at £63M by Dortmund with Milan interested too, ready to offer him £130k per week salary. Would be no problem for Chelsea as they are ready to offer him £200k per week. Belotti the Plan B, Morata only Plan C.

All major reports say Chelsea matched that offer just that they weren't willing to pay the commission United were willing to pay for Raiola. Just because you lost him, now don't pretend as if Chelsea weren't equally insane in willing to pay the asking price.
