Message: [QUOTE="The True King, post: 3647668, member: 9651"] I wouldn't be so naive.. Madrid said all along they wouldn't pay a fee, their strategy was to wait and get him for free. Nothing to do with arrogance, it's what they did for Alaba, Mbappe, Camavinga, Rudiger and a few others; no compromise was ever on the table there. I reckon it's a combination of you guys offering him life changing wages and Lille begging him to entertain the idea. For a club like them its a huge deal and they would have been in his ear about how they helped to develop him and this is the only way for them to be sustainable etc. Losing a player like that for free is the worst outcome imagineable. I'm a bit surprised its come to this, he's a very good talent and living in Spain definitely beats living in England. I'm with Wolfie, there's serious red flags because he's always wanted Madrid and I don't like the idea of wanting a player who doesn't want you. We were definitely interested too but we were never messing with the wage structure to make an offer he would consider. Very interested to see what happens to De Ligt now. [/QUOTE]
