The story of his transfer has been going on for a long time, and it's strange that it hasn't been resolved yet. Liverpool seemed to be preparing to make a second offer for this player, and a fairly large one at that, but nothing has been decided yet. In my opinion, the amount rumored in the media to be around 150 million is not justified for this player, and for Liverpool, there is a high probability that, no matter what kind of player he is, they will get burned by this transfer.
Whatever transfer deal that have not gone through by now, is going to be hard to get pushed through and meeting the need of the intended clubs for this season, I am speaking on the general basis because season started and alot won't happen straight up the way it should since most clubs including Liverpool, Newcastle and even Manchester City have failed to fix the problem that faced them from the last season which is to get a good front striker that can deliver for the club's.
