His market value is EU30m on Transfermkt. However, bear in mind that he earns EU4.25m GROSS at Tottenham. If we were to match his salary, he would cost us 2-2.5m NET. We were going to pay Kessie 4-4.5M Net. He is only 23 compared to Kessie at 30.
Kessie would have cost Juventus EU8-9m Gross or more if you include the sign on bonus the agent was requesting.
If we got Pape for EU25m, his amortization cost would be EU5m plus gross wages of 4-5m. In other words he would cost broadly the same but have higher residual value.
Still don't have a strong view on him as a player.
I think the management will try for a loan with option at around EU20-25m. Tottenham will make a big plusvulenza on him as he is only worth ~EU5m on their books.
