12.7m?
 

 

we are going to be all over that.

If we're not, we should be. It's low risk with that kind of fee.

I wonder what’s going on here, all the reports last month were that he’s going to Liverpool. Perhaps this is another Daka situation?

Just had a quick look. This suggests the release clause is actually £42m rather than £12 million. Not sure which is true seen a few reports quoting that c. £12m fee…

I've seen contradicting reports on release clause as well. If it isn't the latter, then it's virtually impossible as £42m is too high.

Isn’t Josh Wilson just a wind up merchant with no actual source?

He is, but the OP source is older than his post about it, so at the very least he didn't come up with this one.

I feel like he and CDK have quite similar profiles in the way they play. So if we can’t sign the Belgian lad, this guy might be next in line. 
 

He feels more like a Wolves signing but he’s really good. Appreciate the concerns about his physicality, especially given Adrien Silva’s dismal spell here. But Moutinho, Bernardo and Bruno Fernandes prove that with enough skill, it’s not essential. 
 

Porto had an amazing season. Wouldn’t mind seeing this guy lineup for us at all, though don’t expect him to sign for Leicester.

Has he got rat face like Fernandes?   If so, we should move on.

There's no way we're paying a 42 mil release clause for him. So he ain't coming here.   

Yes its right the realise clause its 50million euros.  I think  42 million pounds.  He got contract till 2025 so it's never coming for less than 30million euros.  Jorge mendes  on the deal its complicated

i think there’s something in this. We seemed to regularly have scouts at porto games and his profile is so similar to cdk that it simply must be the type of forward we are looking at. 

 

As others have said i’m sure we will throw everything at cdk and then move on to this lad if we aren’t successful. Both extremely promising links so it seems to me like we are going after the exact type of players a club like ours should be going for. 

 

Luckily for us wolves don’t seem to need this guy with podence , neto, trincao and hwang. 

 

 

I also have a theory that if you are the only club linked by a source it is 10 times more likely to be true. When the usual 3 or 4 get mentioned it is typically just a fake, trying to increase their odds of getting something right

That fee seems cheap, but it should be noted that this player isn't first choice for Porto, Otavio (who we were linked with last year) is. Porto always get to the latter stages of many competitions, so he still starts a lot of games for them, but he's not definitively an all star for them in the same way that Luis Diaz was who has torn up the Premier League since he arrived.

 

But for exactly those reasons, he's got the mark of a Leicester CIty signing. We would not bee able to sign Porto's best player like Liverpool could, but we could sign one who was considered very good with high potential. A calculated risk if you will. 

 

I think we've signed only one player from Porto in the past, Ricardo. And he turned out to be a great signing. 

Looks like we will sign at least one creative player this window, and I am all for it!

I thought Otavio started on the right as an inverted winger for them with their managers son as the impact left footed right winger and Vieira was mainly playing ACM/10 role?

“As newspaper Record writes about this situation today, the first thing they make clear is that ‘there are no negotiations’ for the 22-year-old’s move to the Foxes.

Now in case Leicester City’s interest is real and they’re going for the signing, then the outlet has a couple of things to say about that possibility.

First pointing out Vieira has a Transfermarkt valuation of €25m, Record claims this is an amount the Foxes can ‘easily’ spend to strengthen their team, but would only be enough to ‘start talks’ with Porto for this transfer.

 

Record labels Vieira ‘one of the best talents of his generation’, meaning that since he’s protected by Porto with a €50m release clause, it’s said the Dragons will only let him go for something close to that.

And regarding Leicester City’s chances of landing the winger, it’s written that it still needs to be seen if the player will accept the transfer, since ‘the Foxes are out of European competitions’.”

If the release is the low side,  then just do it.  If its the high side,  loan with obligation. 


 

that doesn’t make sense. 
 

what happens if we have a bad season?

 

 

Loan with first option, maybe.

In fairness I know nothing about him other than the clip. On the basis of that he looks likely to blow over in a gentle breeze. Whilst he has some close skills, is he any better than a Perez mk11? If his name was Seth Smith from Barnsley would we be interested?

Obligations are usually tied to triggers, like games played and/or European qualification etc. If he's garbo, we don't fulfill the criteria to trigger the obligation. If we do, presumably we'll be getting our moneys worth.
