King Radu. Never doubted for a minute.

I can’t express how excited and proud this transfer makes me feel. For a kid to spurn Bayern and significantly higher wages, for us… this shit doesn’t happen to our football club. Times are-a-changing.
 
He makes Sarr look like Bryan Gil
So he was 18 in this pic...

Think it's 75% more than what he was offering at Genoa - we are paying him £50k a week which would work out as double of what he was getting at Genoa which is what we normally do when we sign players, so I think Bayern would have been offering around £100k a week.

Mate that doesn't add up.

If our 50k is double what he was on at Genoa then 75% more than his OG 25k = 43.75k offer from BM.


Alternatively, if we're paying him 50k and BM offered him 75% more than we did that equates to 87.5k.
 
Really?
There is this percieved idea over here that RM are the Royal club in Spain.You learn something new every day
There is no "royal team" as such, there are around 30 teams called "Real Something-Or-Other" - apart from Madrid the best-known are Real Sociedad and Real Betis. You can see a list here although some are repeated (men's/women's team, B teams etc)...

"Real Something" clubs

None have any current connection to the crown or state or anything, any more than we have a connection to the Earl of Northumberland. They got the name "Real" after they made the king at the time (Alfonso XIII) their honorary president.

If this deal is as reported
— offered the club considerably less money than Bayern
— offered the player less money than Bayern
— An unwanted Djed Spence going the other way
then, indeed, it’s a fucking masterclass and Levy or his team at their ‘Wimmer Deal’ best.
 
If true that we had been planning for him since last summer that is another point that the club deserves some credit for.

The way this squad build is going is looking more strategic by the window

Glad you spotted that..... It ought to cool some of the "this should have been sorted before the window even opened" anger we saw over the last couple of weeks........

As noted by some; even if you speak to the player and get certain aspects of the deal agreed; the parent club will only come to the table when it suits them; not before.......

Clearly there was some kind of reluctance to move too quickly on Genoa's part as it served them to see what other bidders came out of the woodwork (and indeed BM & Napoli did so). It was also reported that Genoa were trying to get him to re-sign (in hindsight; perhaps thinking that it would hike any possible fee up further? .....Albeit naively on their part as all surrounding elements seemingly to point to the fact that they needed to sell all along.)



(Anyway; this isn't a gotcha aimed at anyone in particular... It's just a) interesting how these things unfold and b) reassuring that we finally have our shit together more than we have had since before the Mitchel/Hitchins era.)

The current King is an Atleti fan I think?
