Diomande rumour going about:
Fee agreed 94.8 million euros plus 18 million euros in achievable add ons with a 15% sell on fee.
Contract terms agreed until 2031 at 180k a week.
19 Jun 2026 22:25:08
Sheesh, that's some lay out.
19 Jun 2026 22:29:42
Jokes on them 15% sell on fee... don't they know all our best players leave on a free. ?
19 Jun 2026 22:42:40
I laughed out loud at that Sofa fan and then realised Konate just left on a free. Maybe not our best players eh?
19 Jun 2026 22:43:36
Less than £100m.
19 Jun 2026 23:00:23
£82m rising to £97m isn't too bad. That's a total package of £153m over 6 years. Isak at £125m plus 280kpw is £212m over the same period.

That's some serious £s for a 19yr old with 1 season. Let's hope he's that good!
20 Jun 2026 00:34:24
No chance we accept a 15% sell on clause paying that much.
{Ed001's Note - any sell on would be on profit I would expect.}
20 Jun 2026 07:39:55
If we have agreed a sell on fee that is pretty stupid. We're giving them 100mil f***s.
20 Jun 2026 08:24:22
Why such a short contract? 5 years only?
Then, we struggle to get the player to extend and lose them for free?
Need to add option to trigger an addiction 2 years.
20 Jun 2026 09:46:14
5 years is short???... Just garbage. You want us to become Chelsea by any chance? Wake up.

I don't think we should be turning the lad into an addict. ?

I'll be watching him up against Wirtz later today, I remember him from AFCON, when Egypt put 3 past them in the quarters. He looked okay, but I feel we are getting our pants pulled down by Leipzig here. We have paid them really good money for Keita, Konate & Szoboszlai, and they still overprice the living s*** out of us.
Those players would have moved anyway, so it's not like we are poaching or stealing their players. Oh well, I hope he is a huge sucsess and we completely forget his cost. ?

Watching him against Wirtz?
Has Slot taken over Germany and employing Wirtz as his new right back? ?
20 Jun 2026 11:24:34
That's just good business on their behalf, ASB. It's totally irrelevant who we bought and what we paid on previous deals. They have him. We want him. Pay the cost to get what we want or move on. Those are the choices. Hopefully he'll prove to be worth every cent.

JK23, Wirtz plays on the left for Germany, and Diamonde on the right, so Dimoande would be up against Brown & Wirtz ? You good? Hehe.
