Nah bro, Kovacic is closer to 35 than 20 M.

Even if Kovacic goes for 35m, 25m for Gundogan is nuts. Making Gundogan one of the world's top 5 most expensive players in history with an expiring contract is insanity, especially considering that he hasnt shown anything for more than two years.

I do agree with you, I wouldn't want him in RM.

The top 5 are CR, Bale, Suarez, Neymar, and James. What are you talking about?

25M euros doesn't even break top 100 according to these:

Guys maybe he meant it will be in top 5 expensive transfers of players with an year left on their contract.

That'd make more sense. Would it be true?

Yes, who would be more expensive?

So that's 1. In fact, I think Gundogan would be among top 3, not top 5 if we shell out 25m euros for him.

David de Gea will probably cost more if he leaves Man Utd this summer.

 

[Alarcón]

It doesn't matter as the amount of world class players who switch clubs with a year left on their contract is very small. Couple that with the fact that transfer fees have exploded in the last 10 years and you'll see why he'd be one of the most expensive.

Kroos' fee was between €25-30m.

Exactly.

No. Toni Kroos cost RM 25m euros, being an instrumental part of the WC winning Germany team and playing fantastic for Bayern for years.

Gundogan doesnt have even close to the same market value as Toni Kroos. Fact of the matter is that 25m for Gundogan is insanity.

 

[Co0ter]

I agree with you on this one. Kroos like you mentioned had a lot going for him at the time and went for 25-30mil. Gundogan has been an average player this season, back from a serious injury and it's been since what, 2013 since he's been in any kind of good form?

No way he is worth 25-30mil, especially not with his contract running out. 18-20mil max.
