At the same time, other outlets and transfer trackers say the clubs may already have an agreement in principle for a package in the wider range of £120–125 million, or structured as approximately £100 million guaranteed plus up to £20 million in add-ons. Those accounts remain unconfirmed officially and details are expected only when both clubs choose to announce the deal.
