It's on their front page, reads like bullshit. A local rag in Seville is not going to have the inside track on the conversations between the senior management in Madrid
Ah Estadio Deportivo are the Seville-based outlet aren’t they?

Likely to be leaked from Betis’ end then to scare us into upping our bid.

This is the G Translate of the article. I'd tidy it up but can't be fucked

The Betis rubbed his hands with the more than possible sale of Lo Celso, which the leaders and technicians from Verdiblancos give up for lost this summer. And that the Rosario already communicated to his current club that would not push to leave, although the insistence of different entities, all very well off, has led to an auction of uncertain final.

At least, Rubi has the promise of Haro and Catalán that most of the surplus value achieved with Gio will go to the rearmament of the staff of 19/20.

As ESTADIO advanced, Manchester United and Atlético de Madrid have taken the lead. An intermediary authorized by the devils network met recently in Seville with the right hand of the Betic president and with Federico Martínez Feria, corporate CEO, to transfer his interest in the '21', slipping his intention to improve any proposal and, once the case, reach 75 million, agreed upon in the noble floor of Benito Villamarín with the father and agent of the player to seriously study his departure, although the intention is that the pulse approximate the price to 100 kilos of the clause.

The colchoneros already moved to Betis an offer of 55, while the Tottenham remained at 40, but with the firm idea of adding quantities by objectives to approach the heliopolitan requirements, with what now must awake, because Mauricio Pochettino wants his compatriot in the 'Spurs'.

And it remains that Real Madrid, for now at the expectation, make its move, which could arrive sooner than later, according to comments to this newspaper sources of proven solvency.

It happens that, after the additions of Militao, Jovic, Hazard and Mendi, Florentino Perez has satisfied Zidane, who also asks Pogba, although first he will have to make cash with his discards (Llorente, Bale, Ceballos, James ...).

Jorge Valdano, new advisor to the white president, has strongly recommended that he hire Lo Celso, who, due to his quality and versatility, could be the natural replacement for Modric.

Madrid needs 'cash', but does not lose sight of Rosario. And this one, under equal conditions, would have no doubts

Same paper that linked ManU last week. They're either incredibly well in tune to Betis dealings, writing fan fiction, or writing what Betis want them to write. I think it's the latter personally.

So they need to sell to buy Pogba, but they also want to buy GLC on top of that? Are they planning to sell their training ground again?

Well another got built for them immediately, so why wouldn't they?

It's like giving your kid a chocolate after they've punched you in the balls

Luckily its Zidane who is calling the transfer shots at the moment, and one requirement is that you have to be french or speak it, by the looks of it.

Hmm. Of the 6 players they've signed so far only 2 (Mendy and Hazard) appear to be French / French speaking. Zidane is a pretty pragmatic manager, the likes of Lo Celso would not have gone unnoticed having had good games against Real this season imo.

With Atletico going all out for Joao Felix, I would hope that it means they're out of the running for Lo Celso.

€120m for a 19 year old. Absolutely crazy what the market has become.

I think what gives me most hope about signing ndombele and lo celso is the fact that there hasnt been any real concrete links to other teams, only the odd mention of interest in articles with regards to us being in discussions.

If you consider the players we have been linked to in a similar vein with regards to interest but it going no further, it makes you realise these clubs are most likely not going to get involved.

That really is a stupid fee. How many 19 year olds end up living up to the hype? Truly mental

I agree with the sentiment, even if I think it's more a case of people expecting too much from the 19 year olds because of the current market prices.

Just like Lo Celso, it's not really his asking price, it's his release clause. He's probably worth similar money to Jovic.

Benfica have said he’s not leaving unless someone pays the release clause. Atleti don’t seem to mind spending when the money is coming in, so I think they’ll pay it.
