Surely this should be agreed regardless. I'm not one to shrug at a few million pounds and I 100% understand where Levy comes from but £22m is an absolute bargain, I'd be surprised if PSG would go that low even if they do have to get rid. Even if they ask for £25m I'm sure Levy wouldn't give up on the deal, over £3m. He'll go ask late as possible as it would be better to stick that 3m on wages, but if he has to it's still better value for money giving that extra 3m to close the deal if they don't budge. Assuming it is £5m they want. That's what reports said before I think
I would venture a guess based on itk it is less the amount and more the structure. How much up front, length of installments and amount per, etc.

I suspect this is just because Levy sees two days as a great opportunity to remind PSG how much they want to sell and knock a couple of million off the price.... Whatever we pay it'll be less than we paid for Sissoko.

[in the voice of the clever, camp factory worker character from the fictional When The Whistle Blows sitcom in Extras]

I believe Lexington is humorously conflating the raised transfer hopes that accompany Moura not being being named in the PSG squad today with a playful deliberate misunderstanding about Moura not being in today's Tottenham squad to play Newport due to the signing not yet being finalised.

@GFFN Tottenham & PSG have reached a fee agreement for Lucas Moura worth more than €25m; but the player's agents remain in constant contact with Arsenal - L'Équipe http://goo.gl/ePhnUX

Tottenham & PSG have reached an agreement over €25m for Lucas Moura
L’Équipe report that Tottenham and PSG have negotiated a fee worth over €25m for the transfer of Brazilian winger Lucas Moura.

The player’s entourage told the French newspaper the following: “We expect a quick conclusion… everything is going very much in the right way.”

Despite this, the player’s agents are remaining prudent; they continue to be in regular contact with Arsenal and with certain interested parties in Spain.

Pini Zahavi has been at the forefront of brokering this deal between Tottenham and PSG, like he was for the Serge Aurier transfer last summer.

Back up plan for PEA? Let's hope we've done enough for him to not be swayed by them.

Agreed, would just be spurs though wouldn’t it, send GKN out on loan and miss out on a replacement actually making the squad weaker

£22m-£25m bid for Neymar might do it as that appears to be the going rate for PSG players.
