According to a report by the Sun, Fulham have set a £35 million price tag to sell Man City target Antonee Robinson in the summer.
Right before the end of the January transfer window, it was reported that Pep Guardiola’s side had a bid in the works for the £2 million (Sky Sports) defender, after Joao Cancelo joined Bayern Munich on loan.
However, Fulham have decided to set the price tag for Antonee Robinson up to £35 million, if Man City aim to wrap up a deal for him in the summer.
Fulham set £35 million asking price for Man City target Antonee Robinson
The Sky Blues are in desperate need of signing a left-back, with Cancelo’s wife firing shots at Guardiola on Instagram, which indicates that a reunion next summer is unlikely, while Nathan Ake is currently first-choice.
Seemingly being aware of the fact that Man City need to strengthen the position in the summer, Fulham are demanding the club to fork out a £35 million fee to sign the ‘athletic’ Antonee Robinson, as per the Sun.
However, the report has stated that the Premier League consider the fee set by Marco Silva’s side as too expensive.
Fulham should look to cash in as much as possible
Much like Brighton & Hove Albion, the West Londoners should also aim to bank as big a fee as possible, if they are open to offloading one of their finest players.
While Man City could well back out of a deal to sign £35 million-rated Antonee Robinson as they did with Chelsea’s Marc Cucurella, Fulham should target bargaining as much as they can.
Making such a huge profit on the youngster will also enable the club to perhaps bring in an even superior player for that fee, while City will also snap up the USA international. After all, the Premier League giants were linked with Robinson as far as back as 1 year ago, which indicates that they clearly rate him highly.
