We are looking for opportunistic buys, Inter wants to get rid of him, they owe us some Eriksen money and Hitchen was apparently there. Conte could implode at any moment and new coach could play him and his price could rise to 80m again, now is the time to get him.
The fact that Hitchen flew out there to negotiate suggests to me that something already has given.
But then i don't have a b&w headshot on Twitter, so what do I know.
Probably been mentioned somewhere, but they must still owe us money from Eriksen, so that'll be factored in.

I do love it when we hear stories from Sky Sports like Hitchen is in Milan negotiating but the two clubs are still £25-30m apart in valuation.
Do we really think Hitchen would be over there if that is the case?! I imagine a hell of a lot of preliminary work on the transfer would need to be done and agreed before any thoughts of actually travelling to Italy to meet the representatives take place.
Negotiating isn't 'We want £60m', 'Well we only want to pay £30m'.... The 2 clubs would be far more confident and close to reaching an agreement with each other before actually sitting around the table to 'negotiate'.
IMO.
Absolutely. You’d only start negotiations if both parties knew there was a very good chance of agreement. And you wouldn’t send someone over to negotiate unless the proposed deal wasn’t already well outlined.I do love it when we hear stories from Sky Sports like Hitchen is in Milan negotiating but the two clubs are still £25-30m apart in valuation.

This, I work in Aircraft leasing and though obviously a different industry - the principal of moving high value assets is the same kinda and you would only travel if confident a deal could be done or was close.I do love it when we hear stories from Sky Sports like Hitchen is in Milan negotiating but the two clubs are still £25-30m apart in valuation.
