The only logical explanation is we are signing him as well then.

So the latest update from The Athletic is just what was already coming out of France and actually a bit behind in that Rennes have “paused” negotiations?

Stade Rennais made a nice, accepted offer to Watford for Colombian winger Yaser Asprilla. But the file has been complicated. Everything is not finished yet.

 

Stade Rennais is at the heart of a particularly complex file. A few days ago, we mentioned a concrete interest in the young Colombian winger Yaser Asprilla, 20, belonging to Watford. But we revealed to you that his agent was on his way to negotiate directly with Leicester, promoted to the Premier League, unlike Watford.
 

But nothing has been done yet. This morning, The Athletic mentioned an offer from Rennes accepted by Watford, to the tune of €28 million + bonuses. According to our information, this offer was made last week by the Breton club. From then on, it was a question of agreeing with the player and his agent.
 

Rennes has delayed

This is where things get complicated. Despite an enticing salary proposal, around €1.2 million net per season, the Asprilla clan has obviously played with the nerves of Breton leaders, on several details. Cooled, the latter therefore decided to delay in this file, despite their accepted offer. Since then, the agent has started discussions with Leicester, but everything can still change in this case.

 

Already a Colombian international (6 selections, 2 goals), Asprilla will probably leave the second English division, where he scored 6 goals and delivered 7 assists last season. Able to play in several positions, even if he shines more particularly on the right wing, he will have to choose his next destination in the coming days.

Still seems to be an issue with the agent

 

file on standby but Rennes still hopes that the agent will come to his senses and be more reasonable

Aren't Rennes a mid-table french team? They've already bought Gronbaek & Kamara this summer haven't they, must be nice to splash the cash

[Finnegan]

I mean they're not even in Europe next year. We'll pay more, give him more exposure, he might not even need to move house or certainly not far. 

 

Not exactly like the weather and lifestyle are going to be vastly different either is it.

Knowing our luck this deal won't happen till the end of August and we'll have no time to spend the money.

 

Mind you the owners will probably like that!

 

Gives them an excuse not to.

What's your view on how good he is?

[LestaLad]

Really want this guy, feel he’ll be very good and only triple in value within a season or so.. So for that we defo won’t get him.
