Arsenal are asking for £15m for wantaway goalkeeper Bernd Leno, according to various reports this weekend, angering both the German international and Fulham.
The Whites believed they had struck a deal with the Gunners after increasing their initial offer of £8.5m to £10m, but Arsenal have rejected both bids for the 30 year-old and are holding out for an even bigger bid. Leno, who has a year left on his current contract at the Emirates Stadium, is desperate to secure first team football as he still wants to regain his place in the German squad for this winter’s World Cup. He has dropped down Mikel Arteta’s pecking order after the summer arrival of American goalkeeper Matt Turner.
Fulham are believed to be considering their options given Arsenal’s intransigence with Marco Silva seeking an upgrade on Marek Rodak in goal as his side prepare for a return to the Premier League. They have agreed personal terms on a three-year deal with Leno, but both the player and the Cottagers are upset by Arsenal’s unwillingness to do a deal.
Fulham tell Arsenal to do one we’ll get someone else Arsenal are dispecting Leno and are acting like a small club
Lol so when Arsenal sold others for less than the media thought those players were worth they were ridiculed now when Arsenal set a fee for a player, with over a year left on his contract and Germanys no 2 keeper they are criticised again.
Just why does asking for what they think the player is worth make them a small club are they supposed to give their players away.
Why don’t Fulham do one and go see what kind of keeper they can get for £10 million cos it won’t be a keeper with 4 yrs premier league experience and no 2 keeper for Germany
Talk about censorship guess u muppets don’t like others commenting on your small clubs site
Fulham will have to move on if they haven’t already. FP rules are going to have a big impact this transfer window whether us fans like it or not
So why does Thomas S sign for Brentford for free when we initially wanted him and he wouldn’t or club wouldn’t agree to come. The management of the club slows down tranfers some how. Ryan F is another who would be free … 1 minute he’s on.our radar and the next he’s not. Are we spending some money or are we bargain bucket hunting due to FFP
Because we buy players by algorithms-at least Brentford run their model properly. However we have a buffoon in charge by the name of Tony Khan-he’s the one that holds everything up. I cannot believe he is still in charge, it’s staggering.
In today’s market is £15M for a proven prem keeper and German International a lot? Okay, he’s only got a year left on his contract but we need him or someone like him now.
