This is the asking price they want.. personally I think we should pay it.. make a statement and sign a 21 year old who is tipped for big things.. only downside is he wil want a relgation release clause and we wouldn't recoup that price if we were relegated..

There are better prem defenders out there for much less, however this lad has the potential to be world class and would make a real statement if we signed him..

AC Milan also interested.. however they have no where near the finances to push past 25m
