It's amazing that Buffon's transfer record has lasted as long as it has. £32.6m in 2001!

That's probably £250m in today's transfer market, if not more.

There really hasnt been a keeper worth that since then, and it tends to be that when one comes around the club hangs on to them...or "messes up the paper work" when a big club tries to buy them

That won't prevent Juventus from trying to get him, though.

It was a Daily Mail article so take that with a giant pinch of salt.

I thought it was a €80m (£72m) bid that was rejected? It was based on that that I picked e.g. £80m. Anyway, even if LFC get £100m or whatever, what would they do with the money?

Ah yeah it was 72. Still, I doubt we will sell him for under 100m. Though that doesnt seem to realistically do much nowadays. Which i personally blame Utd for inflating the player market.

if Mbappe is sold I'd wager there's a clause saying that he has to be loaned back to Monaco for the first season. he needs to play, and i'm not sure if he'd always be picked for the Real's starting XI, whereas Monaco would definitely benefit from him.
