I'll be surprised if we do end up getting 40M from anyone other than the Saudis.
I think he can go on and succeed somewhere but he's failed here and everyone knows what we want rid. Plus he's on high wages. Not a great position from which to sell.
Didn't the club say they wanted €60m, which is about £50m or there abouts...
He's worth it. There's a good striker in there somewhere. It just wasn't to be at Liverpool for him..

He's fucking shite
Honestly he's always had great character, part of the reason loads of us love him, such a shame he didn't make it here. Good for him for wanting to prove himself, whilst I'm not sure Series A is the league best suited for his strengths, I do think it's the right league to help him improve the tactical and mental side of his game, which is definitely his biggest weakness, it's a good move for all parties if it happens.
I think he'll probably do well there. I don't follow the league at all but when Scott McTominay can dominate you know it's seriously weakened.
On his character he obviously always gave his all but I wouldn't have had him down as being mega principled etc. Good for him.
Fucking hell. It might happen. Just take any sort of fee and run. Forget the signing ever happened. Move on.

So it might happen as long as Liverpool don't make any unrealistic transfer demands from Napoli like looking for an actual fee rather than a note from De Laurentis promising to pay a small sum at some undetermined time in the future.
And of course Liverpool will need to be reasonable and continue to pay most of his wages as well.
Ahead of Maradonna then?
This is a seller's market for strikers.
We should absolutely squeeze every bit of money we can get out of the sale.

€60m the club said they wanted for him. Stick to it..
Saudi teams are interested too. People forget even in a disappointing season he got 14 GAs. He would be tearing it up in Saudi
From what I know he is open to Saudi but it isn't his first choice. We can go to Al-Hilal accept the offer and let them persuade him. They'll offer him £300k/w tax free, which may change his mind
"Al-Hilal's transfer history shows a mix of high-profile signings and young talents. Recent record arrivals include Marcos Leonardo (€40.00m), Moteb Al-Harbi (€28.95m), and João Cancelo (€25.00m). "
Where does this idea come from that they will pay big transfer fees? Have I missed something?

The offered £55m a few weeks ago
hopefully that’s the case but i thought i read tweets a week or so ago suggesting it was europe only
i’m just glad all parties seem to be on the same page with him moving on
TBF, those are pretty big fees considering I've never heard of 2 of them and the third was basically booted from his club.
Sure, but people talk about the Saudis as if they're throwing out 60m+ offers on the regular and splash the cash. Do they really, or was it just a handful of signings?
It's only a few clubs (the ones sponsored by PIF) that can do this and, after the initial wave of signings, I think they've reeled it back in to an extent. I'd have to go looking but I think the big money is not being thrown around so easily anymore.
I think the big money from the Saudis is going into wages (to persuade players to move there) not transfer fees.
That's probably the case now still even with the transfer fees becoming more reasonable.
