Francis Benali is gonna be watching Liverpool West Ham in a bid as well and of course, carving on garnish as they are every evening with us for the transfer show.

So much to get stuck into.

Let's crack on with the huge used this evening that Barcelona have made a bid for Albertson's Charlison carve A what?

Well, this is a story that came into our news desk.

In the past hour.

Everton have turned down an £85 million bid for the Brazilian striker Re Charlison.

We're being told this offer was made earlier this week.

Everton rejected the offer immediately because they're unwilling to sell one of their prized assets now.

Of course, Barcelona are looking for a striker because Luis Suarez is out injured.

At the moment, we're being told that Rich Charleston is a long standing target of the Barcelona sporting director Eric Abidal.

Avatar believes Rich Allyson would complement Luis Suarez a style of play when he comes back when he is fit again.

Of course, if they were to sell him for £85 million they would be doubling their money because they signed him from Watford for about £40 million.18 months ago and he scored 24 times in 60 appearances for Everton.

But what our news desk is being told in the past hour is the Everton have turned down an £85 million bid.

Foreign Charlison Dara Give us the owner's perspective on this, Aziz Carver says.

It would be nearly doubling their money if they'd accepted it, but it's just two days to go till the window shots.

As an owner, what would your reaction be, Player?

He's gonna want to go to Barcelona.

They suspect everything.

Biggest clubs about south around Boston.

I think the biggest issue is not much time left.

So unless they've known about a prior, I'm gonna drop because apparently having Mike issues with you, So I'm hearing you.

But people at home are not enjoying what you got to say.

So we'll sort that out.

We'll come back to you.

Let's hear Francis is working.

Hopefully will give us an idea of how a Charleston will be feeling tonight because our understanding is that absent of flatly rejected this.

I guess the play will know by now that Barcelona in for him.

How will he be feeling?

It's a difficult one, and I mean, it's a huge sum of money.

I mean that that's his decision for the football club.

First and foremost There's many factors to, I think, you know, if it's with January.

Window is predominately inflated market if you like.

But when Barcelona do come calling, there's very few occasions where the player doesn't ultimately move it.

Be interesting if if it doesn't happen, there's obviously a couple days left.

Now how would you charge to themselves?

Don't know him personally.

How would he be between men until the end of the season?

If there was a potentially moving this summer?

But I think the bigger statement as well, from from Everton.

You know, you got a new stadium that they're gonna be building.

You manage it coming in, wanting to build a team, really?

Rather December 1.

Andi.

He is obviously one of the jewels in the crown, for sure, And I think if he did go, it's just raising the bar again.

I think as well.

From a transfer of perspective, we notice an inflated market.

But, you know, talking about seeming soft money for a Virgil Van Dyke.

Is he worth it?

In my opinion, probably know, in a way.

But he's still such a young age, 22 years old.

I mean, he's still improving this scope to still inflate his price in the future.

But it's one that I just never saw it coming.

I mean, I think it's shocked all of us probably shocked Everton as a club.

Getting an approach from Barcelona on gets a big decision to make.

Now let's try this again, Dora.

As an owner, give us your perspective two days to go to the window so you can hear me This time it was the first time.

So try again.

I said, I guess Look, the issue is it's Barcelona and when they want somebody, they're gonna get somebody.

The problem you've got is with two days to go.

It's reacting for that.

If you know in advance, you can have a Plan B.

If you don't know in advance, well, you've got you've got massive issues, particularly in evidence.

They're gonna look where they are on the table selling their prime asset.

They're not gonna do that deal unless they could bring someone in.

And as we've seen with strikers in the issue in this window with lots of clubs talking, I'm gonna strike.

Everyone wants one man united Need one.

I don't think there's a Plan B for them right now, so that deal, if it's gonna happen, would be the summer, in my opinion.

But let's pick up the point that Francis is making the player himself.

When you've had a player who made the clubs have come in for you said no, you're staying here.

How do you manage that?

I've had it This window on Dhe, you know, you manage it.

It's a difficult one.

But you got the player, his family.

You got the agents.

You think that your manager who wants to keep your best player, we're trying to win promotion.

It's a juggling act, even up to Yes, there I was in a meeting for four hours trying to appease an agent apiece.

Somebody's died a player because we don't have necessarily a Plan B.

Yes, we can go and get another striker.

Another player.

They're not gonna be the same as the one we've got who's bedded in with our team on an important part of Charleston's, a massive part for evidence losing him this late in the window be catastrophic.

In my opinion, it's probably a question for carving, actually, how boss Loner, affording £85 million to get what?

This is interesting because yesterday we were reporting they were trying to sign Bruno Fernandez as well and Barcelona is supposed to have issues with financial fair play.

So you do have to ask the question Where's all this money coming from?

I know they need a striker because Luis Suarez is injured.

They were trying to buy Rodrigo's from Valencia as well, but he would cost big money on.

We always hear the president of the Spanish league, Javier Tebas, complaining about how English clubs financially doped and how they're paying so much for players in the transfer market.

But you have to ask the question Where Barcelona getting the money from this month as well drop in the ocean for Barcelona titty of those payments.

Europe.

Most deals are done over four or five years.

Severe buying a player for 100 million is 25 million in this year's budget.

25 next year for club like Barcelona, that's nothing.

That's like you're gonna spend £500 on a good night out.

So financial, fair place.

Nothing depends on his way.

But I guess reality is a Barcelona.

Want your player?

They're gonna find the money, they're going to do the deal.

Finance a fair player.

What if you're being really cynical?

Sure, he wants a new contract.

That's what was going to ask all day long.

How often does that happen?

He saw in December the Of course.

He probably wants a bigger one all the time.

But you see it happening all the time on Dhe.

You know, it's like the Mendez thing.

Mendez is wrong.

Barcelona couple of days ago and he said, Look, you owe me a favor and I'm saying to you now if someone asked you about this deal with Portuguese boy, don't deny or confirm bars ago yet no problem.

Give you the nod.

Wink, wink.

An incident United are under pressure on all the story leaks.

You know how this works.

You've experienced that before all the time.

You see through that, when you do and you don't is distill the panic of loose.

And I said to you before, it's like selling a car, an asset that everyone wants that everyone carpets.

And if you're the buying clothing you hear someone comes in at the last minute, you've made your bid.

You worked really hard for a month to try and sign a player.

And at the last moment it's the devastation for your fans that you looking embarrassing.

So you're thinking I've got to get this deal done.

The story could be, you know, Wash.

But at the end of the day, let's just get it done.

So Mendez has worked very cleverly.

First, as he always has.

The guy's a genius, one of the better agents out there on book United.

I've got a really good player, you know as well.

I mean, I gather from what I know playerscontracts quite often.

There's a lot of them that come up for renewal in January all the time.

So you know it's the players in the agents are going in there having these discussions this time of year, almost with a view to think.

Well, if I'm not going to get a new contract at the end of the season, they're having that conversation now with a view to possibly pushing that move through in the January window off course on book.

What will probably happen?

I set it over there behind the scenes in a couple of days with Charles assigned another new five year deal and then in the summer, Barcelona or buying That's football.

That's just the way it is.

That's the industry we know.

This is owners we noticed people involved with in the game.

Nothing you see on the transfer deadline show or anything else is news.

They're surprised.

Enables.

Well, I should point out.

Diary mentioned his experiences that Peter, but I know Peter found have been on Twitter today, saying updated on X y zed, which we will do a bit later.

If you're Peter profound, stay with us for that.

Let's move on now from Charleston to Manchester Night because big news and support you mentioned Arab Bruno for an ambush.

This has been rubbing on damage.

Where are we?

May be just a look.

Yours a soap opera?

The saga.

Whatever you wanna call it is almost at an end.

Now for 15.
