Who knows. I wouldnt trust the media at all, they have no clue. That said, Corona would be a reasonable excuse not to spend money. The discussed Arthur deal looked shady though (if it was true).
As for getting rid of other players. Well, we have a lot of dead weight
Edit: These rumours that we have to make X amount of money till date Y somehow always come up and were never true.
Tbf we're in a bad financial situation right now. They have until June 30th to balance the books and we need 60-70m from what I've read. Yea
This COVID situation and their incompetence in general have screwed up what we can do this summer. Could be one of the reasons they're desperate to flog off most of our players, but so far no one is willing to move

RMC radio now indicating PSG are in on the sweepstakes to try and secure Camavinga in the time French window is open before the market opens up for the rest of Europe.
Yh I think he might be set on Madrid.
It'd be great if we can settle on something like 60-80 fee accounting for investment + 2-year loan at Rennes. Great price for us considering it could go much higher and great deal for him because he gets to play. If it's the terms that are stopping Rennes from doing the deal then there's nothing to worry about from Madrid fan perspective. But I do hope nobody else rates him high enough to pay more than Madrid are willing.
Plus next year is the summer where Mbappe saga might culminate so securing him now is wise whatever the price tag. Just arrange the time for him to play elsewhere instead of having to sit in Madrid under pretense of learning the language and watching Casemiro play 90% of minutes.
Would think paying 60-80m for a player you wont see for two years is unlikely in this market.
Be as well letting him stay and pick him up in couple of years as cant see a Rennes player going for much more than that and as you said seems he has decided on Real.
