80 million...

80m

Maximum KEK we mugged conte here. Mugged him and Chelsea real good here. Fleeced. Swindled. Etc.

I feel a lot better about our transfer window now.

Exclusive - initial fee Chelsea will pay for Morata is 'just' £58m. Quite a coup i'd suggest in this market #cfc https://t.co/YOWwgsi4rV

Initial fee Chelsea are paying Real Madrid for Morata is €65.5m (£58m). If all add ons are realised, total fee could rise to "about £70m"

Once again, not 80m.

58m is still till too much imo as I don't think he's worth more than 40m but I'll live with that price in this market.

Even if it's 60m (which it's not, Chelsea clearly trying to save face) it's still 30m too much. Mediocre signing, very happy with this.

Chelsea plebs leaking all over the press a lower figure to make their fans feel better lmao

Its 80 mil you can pay 60 now the rest later it's all good

What is Chelsea's strategy, what will be his role/position ?

Do you have proof that Chelsea are fabricating this? Do you have proof that it's 80 mil? "It's 80 mil lmao" is not proof. Provide a source. It's STILL the biggest transfer out of Spain even at 58m so I'm not sure what you're on about. Nick desperate for Mbappe money

Again, if you have better sources than Sky and BBC, provide them. I'm sure BBC especially value facts over a supposed Chelsea propaganda.

80m for Morata

Might as well call it 90m after the GL tax

Nah might as well call it 100 mil as per GL tax.

do you have any proof that it is not 80 mil? I too can quote Spanish journalists lol

EPL are notorious for this stuff though lol.  They went on and on that the Martial deal was only 50 mil... and then the official books were published and it was 90 mil when you tag on the bonuses (all other than 5 mil have already been earned lol).

Same with Bale... the story was that we paid 130 mil or something for him.  Well Madrid have to make the books public as they aren't a private company.  And in the end, it was 100 mil.

So please excuse us for not paying any attention to the UK media.  They are the worse.

RM officially a selling club now

Frankly, anything over £25 million and Chelsea have been flimflammed

Where does this sheer, unabashed hype for Morata come from??

easy, Transfer Fee + EPL tax + GL tax + Nick propaganda driving it up a little further = dat 80m.

Still laughing at us getting this much for a benchwarmer. 80m for morata LMAO.

even 60m would still be robbing chelsea.

btw, 59 mil pounds is 65.5 mil euros + add ons. so it seems that even the UK media are saying this is a 80 mil euro deal.

Real Madrid fans are celebrating the transfer fee of a player they sold more than Chelsea fans are celebrating that player or fans of other clubs celebrate their signings.

Morata is quality. 60, 70, 80M. All would be significantly higher than what you think would be his cost but this sport has already hinged upon hilarity in terms of fees, particularly for forwards.

Conte knows Morata. I think he'll do quite well. I think there's a 25-30 goal scorer per year in there somewhere but I don't think we'll see it, personally.

I genuinely believe that Conte was reading my comments about Morata and felt he had to make Chelsea pay up; while Perez felt reassured his asking price was justified

If we sign Mbappe this summer I will request a GL hall of fame induction ceremony this summer

We took Morata for free from Atletico when he was youth

Sold him 20 mil tobjuve so they could develop him

Bought him back from Juve for 30 mil as a made man

Net cost -10 mil

Now sold to Chelsea for 80 mil + variable (5mil)

Net cost 70 mil (not withstanding what we spent on feeding him all these years at valdebebas, he is big ain't he)

70 mil net profit operation over a couple of year

Incredible

100m

Chelsea got absolutely swindled, Real knocking on Mbappe's door right now with that

AS and Barca both reporting as i suspect all spanish sources will, 80 millions + 5 millions in bonuses

Its 80m

5m bonuses

Another 10m clauses related

5m GL tax added

Think I'll take BBC's word over some jobber Spanish journo. We can play this game all day. It's safe to say there isn't a single Spanish outlet with the reputation of BBC Sport when it comes to reporting transfers. Spanish media trying to inflate the fee to make Madrid look good, ehy?

AS, Marca, GL sources  >> BBC and Sky plebs getting fed infos from Chelsea

i remember "english sources" pretending we paid 120 mil for bale when it was much less, like they are to be trusted, even di marzio said 80 mil, and he broke the deal lmao

You guys still paid 100m for Bale lol

I don't know where you're coming from with 120m, 130m for Bale...unless you're just adding GL tax? All of the news at the time were reporting it was 100m and I recall there was a bunch of back and forth about whether the fee was actually bigger than C. Ronaldo's or not. If it had been 120, 130m it obviously wouldn't have even been a question.

Madrid did well on Morata business wise but as usual I'm expecting if Madrid end up moving on James and Bale he'll probably forget the transfer fees originally paid (mind you, astronomically high for both), set an arbitrary cutoff date for that summer and talk about how they managed to move Bale and James for 100m and use that money to buy Mbappe for "zero net spend" "wow florentino"

I am happy to finally have a resolution to the issue of the summer.

Happy to have sorted the three biggest issues.

I don't really care about money, but it seems like it's a decent deal for all involved.

...except Chelsea? This guy is not the answer to Costa leaving.

dunno why Chelsea fans are happy about signing all these bums, Bakayoko, Danilo, Morata

can do way better

you can even say they're all downgrades on what they have

Will wait and see on this one.

I think it's a lot of money for Morata, far too much, but I'll wait and see first tbh
