Silly Fulham have slapped a crazy £90 million fee on the shoulders Joao Palhinha in a bid to dissuade potential suitors including soon to be cash rich West Ham via a Declan Rice sale.
This of course is what happens when other clubs become aware that one such as ours has loads of dosh – the price just goes crazy on anyone we might want.
Crazy fee: Fulham have demanded £90m for midfielder Jaoa Palhinha citing Declan Rice’s £100m valuation as a barometer.
It would seem that the Cottagers are using the £100m asking price for Declan Rice as a benchmark given we are allegedly keen on their Palhinha.
West Ham learn Palhinha will cost £90m
The guy is three years older than Declan and certainly not considered to be anywhere near the same level in quality – but Fulham have him tied down until 2027 putting then in a strong position.
If he was that good and worth £90m, Arsenal would be in for him.
