So Getafe are saying they want Cucurella to stay but if the buy-out clause amount is met then they have replacements ready.

Getafe paid 10 million Euros and apparently Barca will get 40% of any transfer fee profit, so I don't see Getafe have any wriggle room to reduce the asking price from the £15 million the Argus quoted.

Leeds paid Barcelona £12.8million for Firpo and from what I've read Cucurella is rated as better than Firpo, although Barca chose Firpo as back-up to Jordi Alba which is why they let Cucurella go.

Therefore, £15 million is the going rate for Cucurella, it's now down to whether the Albion think they can get better value elsewhere.

I find it slightly puzzling that we are happy to let the likes of Ryan and Propper leave for peanuts yet won't pay the going rate for a player we've been following for some time. As a fan I am not saying we are entitled to be signing £15 mill left-backs, but if we are selling White then we'll have the cash to make Cucurella happen.

Assuming if we meet the buy out clause it’s a straight fee and we don’t have to negotiate any further sell on clauses.

If they accept below the £18m quoted say £15m then they would probably want the a sell on clause.

For the sake of 3m (he says) hopefully this gets over the line

I went to see Barca Vs Getafe just before lockdown. My son watches a lot of Spanish football and told me to look out for Cucarella as he really rated him.
He wasn't wrong Cucarella was excellent. Absolute top signing if we can make it happen.

You are a valued and interesting poster. I sincerely hope that there won't be some huge reputational damage after this tantalising post Mr Tay.
