they already made 2 official bids, they were offering 120M before the Euro and 130M few days ago. both were rejected by us (because they would be getting 15% of that back, and we would get less than 120M which is how much we want). they apparently managed to agree a deal for Mata for a pretty good sum which gave them a financial boost to make a higher bid now. Mourinho really wants Paul, hes their absolute priority so they made a bid of 140M + the bonuses we asked for now. our demands are very close to their bid, we ask 142M which would see us earn 120M, and with the 15M bonuses thats a great deal for us.
my fratello is rarely wrong, he informed me about Nedved agreeing everything with Pjanic in Switzerland 10 days before the deal was official and other transfers last 2 summers, as i told you guys in the Behind the curtains thread, so i trust him a lot.
