Wonder if this puts Caicedo as an option for Liverpool -link up again with MacAlister - not sure they’d pay the fee but, if he has to go, I’d rather he went to Liverpool than Chelsea.

Can we offer them Connolly to lower the average age? Sure he’d be happy with £100m a year and we’d take £15m for him.
Is it PotG?

Not so sure.
Liverpool have already spent quite a bit, and they said cash was available over several players but not one ie Bellingham.
Moises would be stretching their spending?
Not quite sure how Fifa allow the Saudi League to operate. Doesn't the 'PIF' own the top four clubs? We know PIF is the government and that flies in the face of the rule that Fifa doesn't allow leagues to be interfered with by their government!!! Of course, Infantino is a big fan of the middle east so likely the old issues Fifa had with Blatter allow any issues to be quietly smoothed over.
£700k a week for Jordan Henderson

Really needs investigation from the Football Authorities. Big clubs off loading players to Saudi. Probably get sued if I say anymore.

For a lad from Sunderland or anywhere, £700k a week is a bit difficult to turn down. This Saudi shit is mental, but it's getting real now for football.£700k a week for Jordan Henderson

Slow players at the very end of their careers, English clubs are loving this. Raising some money, but more importantly eliminating vast contrast costs from cash flow. Chelsea have already cashed in.
Enabling the acquisition of stars in their early 20’s from across Europe such as MacA and Caicedo.

Not up to date with the Saudi tax situation, is that £700k per week free and clear, if he stays out of the UK for long enough?

Given his challenge on Evan Ferguson this season, maybe the Saudis see him as a good fit for their nation

29 year old who’s won everything, his last collection of winners medals yielded just a year ago.
Whilst 32 year Kante went to Saudi the other week for £86m. He missed 38 games last season due to various injuries.
The Saudis, as with golf, are pulling high figures out of the air.
