I'm guessing that such a cash + player deal would pretty much equate to £80m+ anyway....
Like I say, as long as our interest in the player is genuine, then it seems a reasonable deal.
Would you expect him to play AM or CM (6 or 8) for us?

Give me ndombele or death 
He's a CM but good offensive skills.
There's a lot of value to be milked out of these sorts of deals if you're the right sort of club with excellent scouting and a flexible manager (not sure we have either, no slight on Poch). The super clubs are really, really motivated to move their dead weight and keep the books balanced, and there are good players in there.
I know nothing about Ceballos though.
I want N'dombele just because his name is similar to :dembelewtf:
Aurier and Lucas has worked well enough. If Ceballos is ready to put in the work and Poch is willing to work with him it could be good. Depends on how much of a diva Ceballos is and not I guess.
N'Dombele alternative? :ducks-for-cover:
Can we sell him Victor N'WanyamaLyon President Aulas gives window update on Ndombele, Fekir, Traoré & more - Get French Football News
Speaking at a press conference to announce the arrival of Jean-Luc Vasseur as the new manager of Lyon's women's team, President Aulas discussed the future ofwww.getfootballnewsfrance.com
So the quotes from Aulas were slightly out of context earlier. This is his exact quote on Ndombele leaving:
"In terms of the chronology, before accepting the transfer of Ferland Mendy to Madrid, we signed the young international U17 Belgian, Heritier Deyonge, from PSV Eindhoven. What I can say to you is if you see a very good box-to-box midfield youngster arrive, in the coming days, then there will be a chance that Tanguy Ndombele leaves, but for the moment, we have not received offers of the level that we feel is a just price."
Make of it what you will, but sounds to me like he wants his replacement in first.
Looking forward to the potential headlines around here if he flops...
"N'Dombelend"
Eric N'Dier-Peters
No i think it's about getting the most value for Eriksen.
You're not going to get that with straight cash. Might as well take a promising youngster Poch can mold
It's not like we're deep at CM
I am here for all the fans buying shirts to print Ndombele's name on it but adding that ' that isn't there.
Exactly, we need Ndombele plus another so we do not run Winks and Sissoko into the ground for a second straight season.
Yeah, and like, if PSG sold us Lucas straight up for 25M, and they would buy Eriksen for let's say 70M, they might very well do a deal something like 55M + Lucas for Eriksen. 10M in surplus value just for being able to be a one-stop shop to keep their books in order.
For whatever reason the fans and the press on the receiving side look at it like you're doing them a favor and taking on a lesser player PLUS the lower purchase price, but that's a dumb way to look at it, so long as the player you're getting is one you want.
No, I get that....
I just suspect that (on spec) N'D, Winks, Sissoko & Ceballos @ CM vs Dier (and possibly Skipp) @ DM is lacking balance depth wise.
I guess what I'm asking is would Ceballos AND N'Dombloke be overkill when we could us the extra dosh to go large getting a direct replacement for CE instead (eg Coutinho rather than roll the dice on GLC @70m)...?
This is key to any perceived value otherwise one is just under-paying for a player they don't want.....
Ceballos is good. Him plus 45 would not be the worst deal, but I don't believe the Sun in this case (or most cases)
