Monitoring FC should be looking. If we really wanted to gazump a Man Utd deal that would throw them into a rage.

Will be happy when Broja and Conor join him at camp and in the US for pre-season.

Or just leave our offer so Barca has to keep dealing with it. We don’t need to negotiate anything more, it just creates a hurdle for those fucks to overcome.

FFP is helped by off loading players for similar money to players coming in. City could buy all the players they want, but they have to at least give the appearance they care about FFP.

I think United have a budget to stay in. They have a lot of wage on their back line and nobody is leaving.

About to pay Man City to compete with us for de Ligt.

Barca is looking to keep both Raphinha and Dembele Raphinha-Barça theme. There is optimism in the club because the player wants to come. Barça's offer is 50 M € . Chelsea and Tottenham reach 75 M the advantage is the will of the player. In the club they believe that he is compatible with Dembelé

Sterling

It does however commit Barca to throwing the little bit of money they have at a player and could change how others feel about going to Barca. Right now Barca has some serious talent just waiting to see if they will get a deal. This could free up some talent. the BS about us wanting to gazump everybodies signings is just the usual shit football reporting.

I’m going back to bed!

It is not negative. I keep reading that he wants to come to Chelsea, but I think a statement like that is more to not offend Man City and Man Utd who have also been linked to him.

Not feeling the vibe.

Barca is the ultimate success where he is from. It may not remain that way, but it is still the most prestigious club for South Americans.

It would leave Dembele on the outside.

Doesn’t sound like Barca sealed the deal.

Stop pissing around and finish the Sterling deal. Go back for Ake, but Man City putting £50m or even if it is €50m, walk away.
