feels like everybody associated with Barcelona is collectively losing their minds

Supposedly talking about FDJ as well

Him not talking out of his ass about things he doesn't know sounds like a plus to his reliability to me

I'm pretty sure Bayern is convinced they would be every single player's first choice

They spend 140m that summer overall, so it's possible. Still can't really see them outbidding us though

they did buy Hernandez for 80m, so who knows

please don't

According to Kicker the reporting that Nkunku's contract contains a release clause from next summer is false..

you guys need to get off twitter

That cash is basically already gone, they needed to survive their financial year ending today.

Still a really good player, but not a profile we need

Feels like we were waiting on Dembele until the last moment, and then jumped on Raphinha extremely quickly, as to not risk getting neither.

Kinda funny seeing the discrepancy between Chelsea and City fans on Ake. City fans saying he's good and want a higher fee, but Chelsea fans are the absolute opposite.

Can't imagine they'd match our contract offer

Wasnt Deco there for Laporta's birthday? This very much sounds like bs to me

SMS is amazing, but he's basically Kovacic that can score and not a DM. Would feel like a strange profile to splash that kinda money on right now

Funny thing is this means that Dembele now has the choice to either basically cut his wages in half at Barca or stop playing football

Di Marzio said that, that's a big difference

Yes, that actually was reported by a few sources when marina left and the de ligt interest ramped up. Don't ask me to find those though, about a billion other articles came out since then.

"It is understood that both parties are willing to finalise a deal and while no bid has been made yet, it is expected imminently. Personal terms are still to be agreed." Just saying The Athletic didn't ever say its a done deal. Still seems like its happening. Just hope it happens fast and we can move on to other targets.

That wasn't The Athletic saying that, but a rando city correspondent on a podcast. Nevertheless seems likely to happen

Even if Leeds would agree to that, i strongly doubt Ziyech wants to go to Leeds

What makes you think Lukaku was a Tuchel choice? I had assumed from the beginning that he wasn't.

This makes sense to me. Doesn't make the situation much better tho
