Guess those players shouldn't have signed lengthy contract if they wanted to leave whenever they wanted, no? Neither Dortmund nor RB are obligated to sale simply because some "big" club wants their players.

Also, your logic is contradicted by Neymar and Mbappe choosing PSG after they refused to negotiate with Barca over Verratti.

Shouldn't we wait until Mbappe is actually confirmed? Anyway I think it's a good decision by him, using a B-tier team as a stepping stone until he is ready for Real Madrid

Dortmund literally just said they rejected a second offer of 100m. Dortmund can value him at 150m all they want, he's not worth that. That's why you negotiate. I don't care what Neymar went for. 100m euros is not a 'low ball' offer.

Dortmund just said they rejected an offer, not that it was 100M. He is what worth whatever Dortmund values him at, numbers don't mean shit anymore. Our first offer was somewhere around 70M, our second was 90M plus 20-30M maybe. That was also rejected as per rumors as dortmund want most up front cash. 100M plus 20-30M will probably be our final offer.

Did he really miss today's training and BvB were not able to contact him? If thats true, its really unprofessional of him.

Many thinking we made him do it.

People ever thought that this might actually fuck up for us? Dortmund might go from sitting down and talking with us to shutting down the door completely. In that case Dembele would just have to live with it and do his best for another year.

Have you even read what I've wrote? I didn't say they are obliged to anything. But any player with potential and good agent won't sign a contract without buyout since it is allowed and common in Germany. It was done a lot there already and with club stances (and players power) it will be more.
If anything, Neymar situation proves my point, buyout is a power for players.

Yes he really did it. Officially confirmed by Dortmund.

That's so sad. I was really hoping we would land this guy. But now even if we did, I don't know. It gives a very bad rep for us even though we might not have forced him to do that, but people and specially BvB might think we did.

He has done it before. Did BvB force him to do it?

Modrić - Bale - Mascherano did it too. So I think it is okay. I would be mad if our offer was 60m or below, but BvB seems a bit greedy especially when their stars go to their rival for way cheaper. Also, everybody knows Dembele wants Barca even before he moved to BvB. So it is not really surprising.

Let us not get too soft here. Both of these teams are toying with us, if the clubs are exercising their leverage then the players can also use their leverage. At the end of the day if the players are determined to join us they will have to force their way out.

An article in MD stated that we insured dortumnd that we in no way instigated him to do this, Also mentioned dembele being scolded by his representative for his actions, Including the social media stuff, Seems like it was a solo decision, We'll never know the truth.

These type of action won't make things harder with a team like dortmund, But in fact easier, For one simple reason, They can't afford to keep such a player just to prove a point, It's too wasteful and not worth it for them.
If we're talking about a club like PSG, Then yes, it's very likely they'll bench a player with the calibre of dembele or even send him to the reserve team, Just to prove a point, They're just filthy rich, And don't care, Why do you think verratti didn't start skipping training?, It certiantly wasn't because he's honorable, He knew what PSG will do to him if start pulling these kind of shenanigans.

We are crying about 100m + var while fucking UTD just bought big bag of nothing for 90m.

Other clubs are in no position to say we are overspending. Btw Pogba is overrated.
