Brentford offer has a deadline

BILD kicked off by reporting that Brentford are ‘entering the final stages’ for the Cologne superstar. They have made a written offer for the winger.

“We have received an offer, which we are considering,” Cologne sporting director Thomas Kessler, 40, confirmed on Tuesday. He did not mention Brentford specifically.

But according to BILD’s information, the written proposal reportedly includes a deadline. If no agreement is reached within a few days, the bees intend to withdraw from the race.

Sportbild go into a little more detail. He says ‘things are getting serious’ around the Cologne winger. Brentford are in the final stages of the race for his signature.

He has made a written proposal, which has been received by the Rhineland Club. The proposal was finalized and sent over the weekend. Now they intend to put pressure on Cologne to accept it.

€40m fee plus €5m bonus

The offer is close to Cologne’s €50m asking price. This is a base fee of €40m, with a €5m ‘easily attainable’ bonus added. The German side can easily expect to receive €45 million in total from the deal.

He will also receive a 15% share of any future transfer fees. No other club including long term lover brightonHave come closer. The Seagulls wanted to submit an offer of €35m but never officially did so. Their only written offer in January was €28m.

Brentford want to avoid the drawn-out negotiations that Brighton found themselves in last year. If no agreement could be reached within a few days, they would step back and focus on alternative candidates. However, Cologne will try to get a better deal.

Meanwhile, a big increase in player salaries is certain. Brentford are offering him more money than Brighton. The Seagulls were offering him €4m a year in his first year.

Now it’s a matter of him, his mother, who is refusing to work with an agency, and Colon deciding if they want a deal. Brentford are offering everything they want, but they won’t wait for it to be accepted.

Chelsea transfer includes ‘surprise clause’ – Blues stripped of power

River Plate’s loan deal for Chelsea youngster Kendry Paez includes a ‘surprise clause’ in the Argentine side’s favour.

This is according to El Intransigente, Who today relayed information regarding the deal to journalist Renzo Pentich.

Páez joined the Argentine giants on loan from Chelsea at the end of the January transfer window. The club hopes the 18-year-old will stay until next summer.

He was at Chelsea’s sister club Strasbourg after coming to Europe last summer. The Blues had previously signed him up as a youth player but had to wait to bring him to Stamford Bridge.

Strasbourg struggles

However, he struggled in France, with only one assist in 21 games and 718 minutes of action. Chelsea then changed tactics and brought him back before sending him to River Plate. Sport Witness covered the action late in the window.

Now Pantich has come back with a little more information on the deal. He explained that the agreement with Chelsea included a ‘surprise clause’ in favor of River Plate.

According to his knowledge, while the loan does not include an option to buy, it does include a clause preventing Chelsea from being given ‘free rein’ to bring him back whenever they want.

“Kendri Paez’s buy-back option is only activated if he does not play 50% of the matches for River Plate,” he said.

Chelsea will have to wait

El Intransigente says this means Páez will remain at River until December if he plays the minimum required minutes. This is an ‘important’ factor for the club and their plans for the second half of the year.

Manager Marcelo Gallardo has already started using him. Far from stopping him, he is giving him time to play. His intention is clear; Gaining rhythm, adapting and becoming a valuable asset to the youth.

That knowledge further helps the plan, as Chelsea cannot drag him back to Stamford Bridge whenever they want.
