So if he's worth it in two years time you'll have a £60m rated 21 y/o :porrohands:
Yes? Or he could do a Nicolas Pepe and be worth £10m in two years time? That's the point, it's a risk, he could explode or he could flop. You don't pay £60m now for a guy who MIGHT be worth £60m in two years.

Edit: Doue stats:

For reference here are Timo's stats from a much tougher league:

All we seem to do is be hopeful on the youth and pay big money for for up and coming players. We just ever seem to push on and get big name star players who excite the fans.
who is there right now who would really excite tho? lets be honest we arent even in a position to dine at the top table, we dont even have CL to offer and we are a long way off challenging for the league.

Same logic applies in that suitors could be banking on him being worth way more than that, especially given his age. The speculation goes both ways.

Might I remind you of a Vinicius Junior who was signed 2018, 3 years younger at the age of 16 for £38m, from the Brazilian league, a league at a far lower standard than any league in Europe. Now he's one of the top 5 players in the world at a priceless value. £38m for a 16 year old was outrageous that the time.

Anyway, it's not even 100% confirmed that Rennes are asking for £60m
 
For all you Neto obsessives:

For the record I do think he's a good player. But they really aren't great stats - 3 goals in 3 years? For a guy whose hamstrings are made of paper and who Wolves want £60m for?

Of course football isn't all about G/A but that really is a worryingly low output.


It's more the style he plays, I think he's brilliant and the exact sort of winger we need but the injury's aren't good

This is a fair point.

But equally £38m is quite a bit less than £60m, which these days should buy you something fairly close to the finished article; Olise just went for that amount (admittedly with a release clause) and his stats blow Doue out the water.

I dunno, I rate Doue from his clips but his stats really aren't all that much to write home about. For me he's worth a punt in the 30-40 range, any more than that and I'm thinking just spend it on proven output, like a Raphinha or someone.

Here are Olise's for comparison, again in a much tougher league:
