Lads and lasses, hearing rumblings of Mr R. Leao again this morning.

Reported around €50m and circa €10m p/y package.

Now don’t get me wrong, that's huge money.

However, and hear me out.

He is a player who can play in possibly 3 positions, LW/CF/CAM.



So given the additional revenue we would undoubtably gain through shirt sales world wide, is it actually that impossible of a deal to be done?

I don’t personally think it’s one that gets done, but there’s surely food for thought there.

Agent talk sadly.

I get that, but it just got me thinking.

Rather than signing 2-3 players to fill, for example, the LW/CAM, is it viable to go big on 1 who can do both alongside the likes of Okafor, Wilson and others?

Not for me. It's a prime 'opportunistic' signing at 35m euros, or even better, a loan with an option (our turn to benefit from loan/options for once) on the last day of the window.

If they get that much for him earlier, then it's not one we've missed out on at all.

350k a week.

Only a handful of clubs in Europe would give that salary, and Leao has been a huge disappointment at Milan, so should be nowhere close. Never ever in a discussion about players suited to LUFC.
