It seems we are in an advanced stage of the negotiations and since we already dropped our offer, reaching an agreement on that will not make us back off again and offer less. It is somehow wishful thinking actually but seems reasonable...
I disagree. if you look at what barca paid for Ibra, what real paid for kaka and c.ronaldo, what Chelsea paid for Torres and what Aguero would go for if all those teams mentioned were in a bidding war for him, we should be counting our lucky stars that they only want €35m
Aguero deal will help us to close on other targets as other targets will see that there is serious project for us to be back to the top. The deal should be close early to move on other targets, rather than the other way round.
30mil€ + 5mil € if we get in the CL would be perfect. I think that we should leave Marotta do his job, he is a decent negotiator and he has more information and a better idea what is needed to close this deal than the fans.
