Mou called Flo and asked to hold off the Higuain sale because they would offer more... that's what's holding it up. Napoli has also made inquiries in the last 24 hours.

So the Higuain thing just may have gotten complicated for Arsenal with the Cavani deal...

Perez bothering Higgy even when he wants to leave

Pay up Arsenal ffs. So cheap.

Why should they pay 30m euros for a striker who has never performed in the CL, just come off a poor season and actively is looking to leave?

If anything Madrid should stop making unrealistic demands.

Goodbye...

Di Natale is elite imo

I'd rather take Jovetic if they're gonna have to stump up that cash for Higuain

Flo was never on bad terms with Mou... but even if he was, Flo would sweep it under the rug if it meant getting a good deal done. Flo tries to get along with everyone tbh.

Its in Madrid best interest to have a bidding war, why sell cheap? This isn't a charity Laughing

How is 27m euros supposed to be "cheap" ?

But then i forget you are talking from an oil clubs' point of view Laughing

26 million pounds is not unrealistic for Higuain. We all know what he is capable of. Last season he was coming of back surgery as well. We don't need the money and we would gladly keep Higuain if no one matches our asking price. Arsenal need Higgy more than us.

by VanDeezNuts Sat Jul 06, 2013 1:49 pm

im kinda surprised by madrid holding up the sale of higuain. he clearly doesnt want to stay, madrid dont really want him, and 25m is completely fair.

I agree if there are interested parties in paying that amount.... but as of right now its only Arsenal....

This coming from a Newcastle fan Laughing

Besides, Higuain is easily worth €30 mil and i am by no means a big fan of his. Madrid is playing it right... once all the top CFs have their situations finalized like Cavani, Falcao, Rooney, etc., their will surely be a top club that's going to be left. It's simple math. When that happens, they will come to Madrid and pay the price for Higuain.

It's like the "buy now" function on ebay. There's a fixed price to buy an item without having to go through auction. But if you don't want to pay that price, there will be an auction and you may either come ahead or lose out completely.

Madrid is in no rush whatsoever.

Madrid should been giving discounts for proven players when Teams demanding 30m euros for a DM (Illaramendi) from Madrid rofl

Tbf Sports is slightly different to the Carroll situation....

He was our main man, in the form of his life and he didn't want to leave.

None of these things apply to Higuain.

by RealGunner Sat Jul 06, 2013 2:02 pm

We really don't have enough money to pay 30m for him. 27 was fine but 30 seems a bit too high.

Let's see if we can reach an agreement somehow.

And he has publicly declared he wants to leave which brings his price down further.

If Higuain pushes for Arsenal move at all costs,Madrid simply have to oblige.No two ways about it.

by sportsczy Sat Jul 06, 2013 2:12 pm

The situation in Madrid is that Madrid aren't counting on Higuain at all and whether they sell him now or at the end of the mercato makes absolutely no difference to us... so we either get our price in the early mercato or we let the auction play out and sell to the highest bidder at the end.

Madrid could end up getting less than what they want... but they don't really care Laughing

They've made a business decision and committed to that process.

Julio Cesar:

Gazzetta dello Sport reports the Brazilian could be an option for Napoli, if the Serie A side lose Morgan de Sanctis to Roma. Cesar has also been linked with a move to Arsenal.

_____________________________________________________________

L'Equipe is reporting that Sunderland target Benjamin Mendy will join Marseille.

Dortmund haven't signed Mkhitaryan yet apparently. Shakhtar general director:

"Mkhitaryan? I have not talked to him", Palkin was quoted as saying by Football UA.

"Borussia offers us €25m for Mkhitaryan. For us, this amount is not enough and we are talking with the German club."

However, the Shakhtar Donetsk transfer supremo is confident that an agreement can be reached.

"It is quite possible that in the near future we will sort out something."

But on the question of whether Mkhitaryan himself has already agreed personal terms with Dortmund, Palkin cannot say.

"I don’t know [whether Mkhitaryan has agreed personal terms]. As for Henrikh, I have not spoken to his agent and these sorts of questions need to be addressed from the player’s side."

Monaco interested in Yan Sommer, according L'Equipe.

Roma apparently want to swap Borriello for Gilardino.

Barcelona increase their offer for Marquinhos to 32m Euros, according to Sky Italia.

by sportsczy Sat Jul 06, 2013 2:15 pm

We aren't obliged to do a thing Surag... players and clubs usually decide on parameters of a transfer and, if those parameters are not met, the club and the player agree to continue. Obviously, the parameters have not been met or Higuain or his entourage would be crying wolf.

We've been through this with Kaka and others. We cannot be strongarmed.

Barca outbidding an oil club.This must be some new thing Laughing

Roma should take that offer and run.

by Tomwin Lannister Sat Jul 06, 2013 2:30 pm

Arsenal aren't being cheap lmfao,

Madrid are overpricing Higuain to the moon ffs. And that's only understandable when all is well and they player is happy and performing well.

by Onyx Sat Jul 06, 2013 2:33 pm

Why do Arsenal want Higuain if he can't perform in Europe?
