5m is more likely. We usually get about 5m for players of that calibre at 30 years old.
And he should only be sold if we can get a quality replacement. There aren't that many world class RBs out there at the moment. I'd say our best shot is a youngster like De Sciglio.
How about Danilo Luiz da Silva? He is considered a God in Porto.
5 M for the best/2nd best RB in the world
Porto is a bitch to negotiate with. He wouldn't go for less than 40m.
I know it sounds nuts, but it is how we do it on the transfer market. Mostly giving players free transfers, like Marquez or at most selling for symbolic sum of money, like 2m for Villa or 20m for Zlatan after buying him for 70m a year before. I expect us to get about 5-6m for Dani Alves.
De Sciglio not any cheaper than 40M? He'd be around 10M lolDe Sciglio isn't any cheaper
De Sciglio isn't any cheaper + Danilo used to play as a midfielder in Santos so he could play as DM when needed

Marquez was 31 and wanted to move to New York Red Bulls.
Villa was 31, turning 32 a few months later, was on insane wages and wanted to stay in La Liga.
Zlatan was on insane wages as well and threatened he only wanted to be sold to Real Madrid.
It's always easy to blame people but jezus.. this is the real world. It's not as easy as on Football Manager 2014 where you can just ship the players to the club offering the most. Both in Villa & Zlatan's cases the club had their back against the walls.
And Dani Alves is 31 or very soon to be. So he'll go for 5-6m as I said. And why were they on insane wages if not for the fact that we offered those insane wages? Wasnt Robinho on insane wages? Real Madrid got 40m for him! They got 42m for Ozil. We got 26m for Yaya. Its ridiculous. We can always find excuses but at the end of the day, our transfer policy sucks. Mark my words, Dani Alves will go for 5-6m. Masche and Song around 8m each.
I'm not saying we aren't but saying Alves will go for 5 and Mascherano for 8, or whatever is was, is taking it a bridge too far.
instead of buying vidal, i think dani can fill that role. he has got all the skills to play as CM.
Our traditional mid will be inietsa, busi, and fab. Occasionally in high intensity games, dani can fill into the mid with montoya taking rb
Am I reading this right? Alves a CM?
Well I guess that's enough internet for today...
