Stop concentrating on Dortmund's valuation.
The offer last year was 75m + 15m add ons. Add ons mean whatever because you still got Martial add ones you haven't even hit.

IIRC they wanted €110m and wouldn’t budge, and have settled for €80ish this summer.

I'm on about the difference of United offer last summer to the offer accepted this year. It's basically 1-2m lower. Yes?

Your rabbit hole arguments are basically using Wiki and cut and paste jobs.
I think so. But I don’t get the point you’re trying to make? We have in theory got him cheaper this summer. If Dortmund want 110m then that’s the price, their valuation is the price. We could have paid it but refused. Now they’ve accepted around our original offer, we’ve saved, they’ve lost out.

My original point was Dortmund weren't going to accept an low ball offer 10-15-20m lower than what United offered last in 2020. And I said Dortmund wouldn't lose that much and it would get done between 70-80m and I was correct on both.

Varane is better than Lindelof but we still need a DM. I’m not gung-ho crazy about Rice. Bissouma or Ndidi would be far better business for us.
