Paninistickers Posted 1 July 2023 Share Posted 1 July 2023 Just now, mozartfox said: If all these rumors are factual (which is unlikely) then this Club needs a savvy DoF …..and quick. I know they reckon Susan Whelan doesn't deal in football matters, but it's on record she negotiated the Maguire deal and I wouldn't be surprised if she had dealings with Chelsea on Fofana too.

moore_94 Posted 3 July 2023 Share Posted 3 July 2023 Make it an obligation and just get him gone https://football-italia.net/juventus-will-meet-west-ham-and-leicester-this-week/ Juventus director Giovanni Manna is set to be in London this week, trying to sell Denis Zakaria to West Ham United and sign Timothy Castagne from Leicester City. According to Calciomercato.com, the transfer chief has a flight booked and will be in London on Thursday for a series of meetings. Manna’s other priority is to secure Castagne, who is eager to return to Serie A after his experience with Atalanta and the fact Leicester City were relegated from the Premier League. Here too, the asking price is €15m and the player has already agreed terms with Juve, but they hope to whittle down the fee perhaps by making it a loan with option to buy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post kristianity77 Posted 3 July 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 3 July 2023 Let's be real here, Castagne isn't garbage. He just fell foul like literally every single Leicester player under Rodgers in regards to regression. 43 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudio Fannieri Posted 4 July 2023 Share Posted 4 July 2023 I think this is posturing by both clubs, we have set a price which is higher than what we would be willing to accept and Juve are now bulking at and offering a loan with option to buy which doesn’t suit us, no doubt we will meet somewhere in the middle and agree a permanent deal somewhere between £10-12m or loan with obligation to buy where we secure the full £15m albeit split by loan fee this season and balance as a transfer fee next season.

JimmyC74 Posted 4 July 2023 Share Posted 4 July 2023 Hopefully we don’t fall into the same trap as we did with Praet and Torino. Don’t want players who have had their head turned sticking around. Negotiate yes, but if we need to drop the fee by a couple of million let’s get it done. Or let’s offer him to the bottom 12 in the premier league, sell and let’s move on and bring in players who want to be here and compete. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things have changed somewhat If he wants to go back to Italy then he won’t move to Bournemouth (although there are a few nice pizza restaurants in Poole) we do have some leverage with his reduced salary this season but the player knows that we have identified him as a definite sale (and the bottom half of the prem won’t be offering him much more than we are now paying him) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iran Posted 4 July 2023 Share Posted 4 July 2023 'Flight booked' as Italian giants look to complete €15m Leicester City transfer' Latest Leicester City news from LeicestershireLive amid claims that Foxes defender Timothy Castagne is closing in on a move to Juventus Juventus director Giovanni Manna will reportedly travel to London this week in a bid to sign Leicester City defender Timothy Castagne. The full-back featured in all but one of the Foxes' Premier League matches last season but could not help them avoid relegation. He scored two and assisted three and has reportedly attracted attention from Arsenal this summer. Reports have previously claimed that a move to Turin could "soon take off" but the transfer fee for the Belgian remains an issue, describing it as "excessive".

brookfox Posted 4 July 2023 Share Posted 4 July 2023 As if €15m for a 27 year old Belgian international, who can cover multiple positions and has 2 years on his contract is "excessive"! As soon as your dealing with an Italian, Turkish or Portuguese club who play in a green and white hooped kit you know you're getting dragged over the coals on the fee. Only hope is the Arsenal interest is concrete and they bump the price up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 4 July 2023 Share Posted 4 July 2023 Nothing against Castagne but would be good to get rid and start afresh with new signings who perhaps want to put some effort in and not give up 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKCJ Posted 4 July 2023 Share Posted 4 July 2023 Good move all round. About £13m for arguably our 3rd best right back is good going and also a sign that this team should never have been relegated in the first place. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DezFox Posted 4 July 2023 Share Posted 4 July 2023 Castagne is a good player i think, gave alot of effort but was in a rubbish team that had no confidence. He would be good in championship. 13 m is pretty good business though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuna Posted 4 July 2023 Share Posted 4 July 2023 Been a decent player for us, who can forget that debut goal v West Brom, but he really needs to be sold, we need the money and we've already got enough decent full backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
