São Paulo have a sell on clause apparently, so a % of the fee we pay go to them instead of Ajax, which isn’t ideal 

 

 

 

If Ajax are that desperate to cash in and get him off their books they won't really care. Their business model isn't dependent on getting maximum cash for Neres.

Signed for €12m and Ajax reportedly want €20m, if anything it should make the deal easier as Ajax are very willing sellers and anything over €12m they don't get 100% of it so makes it easier for them to accept less.

Transfermarkt tends to be accurate for fees and they say he went to Ajax for £19.8m 

 

So if the % is on profit they won’t be getting much if anything from this sale.

Very similar total goal contribution rate to Harvey Barnes last season.

 

Neres 20/21:

League - 25 appearances, 10 starts (1,156 minutes - 12.8 games) - 3 goals and 5 assists, goal contribution every 144.5 minutes

Europe - 10 appearances, 10 starts (771 minutes - 8.6 games) - 3 goals, goal contribution every 257 minutes

Cup - 4 appearances, 1 start (85 minutes - 0.9 games) - 2 goals, goal contribution every 42.5 minutes

TOTAL - 39 appearances, 21 starts (2,012 minutes - 22.4 games) - 8 goals and 5 assists, goal contribution every 154.8 minutes

 

Before his injury in 19/20 he had a goal contribution rate of every 132.8 minutes

 

Barnes 20/21:

League - 25 appearances, 22 starts (1,949 minutes - 21.7 games) - 9 goals and 4 assists, goal contribution every 149.9 minutes

Europe - 8 appearances, 5 starts (485 minutes - 5.4 games) - 3 goals, goal contribution every 161 minutes

Cup - 2 appearances, 2 starts (172 minutes - 1.9 games) - 1 goal, goal contribution every 172 minutes

TOTAL - 35 appearances, 29 starts (2,606 minutes - 28.9 games) - 13 goals and 4 assists, goal contribution every 153.3 minutes

And worth bearing in mind that's his poorest season.

Off the back of a serious injury as well

Hes a gamble but a calculated one and more due to his injury record and spicy lifestyle than ability.

Tbf not much difference between a bin and Liverpool so you might be right.

[FoxesWalk]

We are the favourites... 

[FoxesWalk]

And another reiteration that Lyon do not want Neres (Bosz is their manager and this Hugo bloke is close to the club)

Did he? 

[DezFox]

Realistically do we all really want him? Or are we just wanting a right winger of any sorts.  He looks good sometimes and has had good seasons but is he a Leicester type player? For me, this year we have been forced to make signings against our philosophy. This seems like another. I’m not too sure. We don’t usually panic but but for some reason it’s seems like one. Not sure there is really any concrete interest either. I just don’t see it.

Can anyone confirm the translation as some are saying Overmars has said he's likely to come to Leicester and others that he said we aren't one of the teams that have contacted Ajax about Neres?

There's a video interview of him after the game but I can't fcukin understand him. From that video loads of replies say he's coming to Leicester.

I think he said that he’s not aware of us being interested

Us mentioned at around 4.30

[Guest Kopfkino]

According to this https://www.voetbalzone.nl/doc.asp?uid=393055

 the quote is 

“Ik verwacht dat de kans klein is, ja", zo luidt het antwoord van Overmars. "Dus de transfer naar Leicester City geloof ik gaat niet door. Die hadden interesse toch, in Neres?", gaat Vink verder. "Ze hebben zich niet bij mij gemeld, dus het bekende verhaal", stelt Overmars.”

 

 Which apparently translates to

 

I expect the chance is small, yes," Overmars replied. "So the transfer to Leicester City I believe is cancelled. They were interested in Neres, weren't they?" Vink continues. "They did not report to me, so the well-known story," says Overmars.

[Pliskin]

Didn’t Puel say Fofana wasn’t coming to us? 

[Freeman's Wharfer]

Translation from my Dutch mates: Overmars is saying that Leicester have not called him but the chances of Neres staying are small (I.e. it’s likely he will go)
