But if true would seem we are hoping to keep him. If, again, if true hope this won't cause another Rowe situation..

Last thing we need is drama just as we have started playing well

I think the word "agreed" is doing some heavy lifting there!!

[Mason 47 1,994]

Would seem a strange thing to agree, given he's likely to have his pick of Europe in summer if he even continues at half his current form.

We should also tell them about how great Faschnat is. Complete the set with Sara and Sainz. But that'll be another 20m.

[cornish sam 1,056]

Is tapping up no longer a thing? We all know it happens anyway but for it to be publicly stated that he has agreed to join a club before an offer has even been made is ridiculous...

Irreplaceable this season , best chance we have to get promoted is with him in the team. Hold til summer and see where we are. Ultimately we hold all the cards til then.

I'm convinced that Galatasary start half of these transfer stories themselves to occupy their somewhat excitable fanbase. In a poorly lit cellar somewhere on the European side of Istanbul there must be a team of Turkish Cambridgeshires cranking out rumour after rumour across every social media platform going.

Pukki was linked with a Gala move at least twice a week for years and that never materialised ...

😂 Trying to conjure up an image of Cambridge hammering away in his poorly lit Foxton cellar.

Somehow Istanbul it ain't.....

I thought the same. As I understand it Galatasaray are quite an attractive springboard, but at this rate he would surely attract interest from the PL and La Liga (if he gets to 30+ goals it will be likely too hard to ignore).

It seems like players are pushing for moves earlier than they used to. I wonder if the growing gulf between PL & Championship has something to do with it. E.g. even in best case scenario we go up, getting hammered each week in the PL probably won't appeal to many ambitious players like it used to.

If only I were fluent in Turkish then I might have a decent job lined up for me..

Gala might have spoken to Borja's agent to find out what sort of personal terms it would take, but clearly if you read the article they don't seem to be able to get anywhere near our valuation, plus he'll probably have his pick from what I would say are more attractive clubs if he carries on performing the way he is. Also, if Gala cannot get near our valuation now I doubt they would in a few months time if he keeps scoring as his price tag is just going to increase. This is an agent trying to drum up some interest early or Gala trying to unsettle Borja, or it could all very well be complete BS.

Either way, we don't need to sell, prices are inflated in Jan if he was to go then, and he's attracting interest from many clubs so we are in control and should be demanding top money in Jan. However, he could be worth even more in the summer depending on how the season goes. 

Having said that, I doubt we'd turn a bid of 25 - 30mil down if one came in, but how do you replace a player like Borja mid season who's in the form of his life, and can score goals from nothing from crazy positions on the pitch. 

[AJ 1,376]

I bet every man and his dog in club football will have spoken to Sainz's agent. There's no way he'll be here after the summer unless we get promoted, and even then he'd likely be off given he should warrant a sizeable transfer fee

You've already said that 😶

I find it quite funny that the local press rely on this forum for its transfer rumours. 

The thing that makes me doubt this article is that we've quoted a figure of €22m or £18m. I wouldn't be surprised if that was about right for a deal in the summer but I doubt we'd take any less than £25m for a deal in January.

I would be astonished if we sold him in January!

Still think £25 million is cheap, why do we strick a £40 million tag on ?
