Nine million from a second-tier club
Nine million euros, bonuses included. That is what SC Paderborn 07 have reportedly put on the table for Alan Virginius, according to Foot Mercato. The bonus detail matters when the numbers climb this high.
Paderborn sit in Bundesliga 2. Outlays of that size are rare down there, and the club are not pretending otherwise: they want the 23-year-old French winger as the headline arrival of a window that closes in days. Nobody spends nine million on a squad filler.
Try it for $0.99.
Young Boys hold the cards
Nothing is agreed. Young Boys are weighing the German offer while talks tick along, and the Bern club have no reason to hurry. Every day they wait is another day the price can drift upward.
Virginius has other admirers too. His name is circulating, the deadline is closing in, and that combination tends to shake deals loose in a hurry.
A few days to decide
The winger at least knows roughly where he stands now, even if nothing is settled. Two leagues, two projects, one call to make before the window shuts.
What happens next comes down to one thing: the price Young Boys have quietly put on his head.
