I\u00a0can\u2019t\u00a0see the numbers working.\u00a0I\u2019m\u00a0struggling to see the numbers working.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Because if he\u2019s bought for 100 million, or 115 million depending on what you hear about the add-ons, etc., how much is he going to have to spend to get him to give Chelsea a viable profit that they don\u2019t feel as if they\u2019ve lost one of their best, if not their best, player?<\/p>\n<p>\u2018You\u2019re\u00a0talking 200 odd million. Unless\u00a0you\u2019re\u00a0a forward scoring 30, 40 goals a season, that market,\u00a0I\u2019m\u00a0not sure about.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Even though Enzo Fernandez and Caicedo were both bought for over 100 million and I have to say, it shocked a lot of us, that amount of money spent in that position. But to go further than that, I\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0know.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Real Madrid\u2019s first game back following the November international break is a league game against Elche, currently sitting in the bottom-half of La Liga.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>For more stories like this,\u00a0<a data-ico=\"hyperlink-article\" href=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/sport\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/sport\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">check our sport page<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Follow Metro Sport for the latest news on<br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sportmetro\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>,\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Metro_Sport\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/metrosportuk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"metro-more-link\">Arrow<br \/>\nMORE: <a data-ico=\"hyperlink-article\" href=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/2025\/11\/18\/sweden-legend-dwight-yorke-make-worrying-claim-64m-arsenal-signing-viktor-gyokeres-24741465\/?ico=more_text_links\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sweden legend and Dwight Yorke make worrying claim over \u00a364m Arsenal signing Viktor Gyokeres<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"metro-more-link\">Arrow<br \/>\nMORE: <a data-ico=\"hyperlink-article\" href=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/2025\/11\/18\/exceptional-owen-hargreaves-compares-manchester-united-star-mohamed-salah-24744484\/?ico=more_text_links\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u2018Exceptional\u2019 \u2013 Owen Hargreaves compares Manchester United star to Mohamed Salah<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"metro-more-link\">Arrow<br \/>\nMORE: <a data-ico=\"hyperlink-article\" href=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/2025\/11\/18\/andy-robertson-recalls-emotional-diogo-jota-conversation-scotland-qualify-world-cup-24744076\/?ico=more_text_links\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Andy Robertson recalls emotional Diogo Jota conversation after Scotland qualify for World Cup<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"metro-button share-bar-comments\" data-vars-position=\"bottom\" href=\"#metro-comments-container\"><br \/>\n\t\t\tComment now<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\tComments<br \/>\n\t\t<\/a><a data-ico=\"hyperlink-article\" class=\"metro-button share-bar-preferred-source\" data-vars-position=\"bottom\" href=\"https:\/\/google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/metro.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\tAdd Metro as a Preferred Source on Google<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\tAdd as preferred source<br \/>\n\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\tFootball Newsletter \u2013 In The Mixer<\/p>\n<p>Your guide to the week in football.
