I'm torn on this issue, he was fantastic for France during their World Cup campaign but has had some shaky form as well as serious injury problems.

Just a loan with an option to buy should be fine. Raul is the GOAT btw

Too big of an injury risk for the price, unfortunately.

Supposedly has the knees—specifically his left knee—of an obese grandpa. aka degenerative cartilage that's gonna (or already has?) lead to osteoarthritis.

Jay Ajayi, an NFL running back born in London and is an Arsenal fan, has the same condition.

Both will be lucky to still be playing in a few years imo. Gonna be hard lives when they're 35 and can't walk without pain.

And that's why I don't want him. I'll take his talent, but if we're going to splash €50+ million on a CB, I want them to be productive for more than six months.

Yup.

Just checked transfermarkt. Last 2 seasons:

2017/18 - muscle injury - missed 47 days
2017/18 - knee injury - missed 14 days
2018/19 - knee injury - missed 43 days
2018/19 - knee injury - missed 84 days

Yeah I'd steer clear for that sort of money.

I'd be open to a loan with an obligation to buy if he plays a minimum number of games this season.

Really overrated player imo. Would take a loan but the fee to buy is ridiculous.

Tottenham, Arsenal and Manchester United are trying to sign centre-back Samuel Umtiti, 26, from Barcelona with the Spanish club keen to sell the France international. (El Desmarque - in Spanish)
