This is moving fast I hope. Either the Player goes to Barca or he stays. Everbody needs an quick solution.
We need a player and a quick solution

Borussia will probably look like suckers if in the end they keep him, that is a crazy sum absolutely anybody in their situation would consider a gold mine.
Just think if they don't win Bundesliga, fail to impress in the CL with anything and win nothing more than a Pokal and then they start losing some players because they can't offer them good enough deals so they won't renew contracts.
Eh it's not like they are totally opposed to the idea of keeping him. They originally planned the new season with him.
Barto should just pay up and get this one wrapped up before el clasico. 110m +30m bonuses then go all in for Coutinho with a cash+player.

if we can, get rid of Denis and Arda and bring in Trigueros (35m) and Seri (40m)
It s a big question, if they ll ever going to get similar amount for him in the future. He has had 1 good season so far, he is still just a talent and this sort of prices won t last. Considering what they got for their stars in the past
this is like a jackpot for them. I know they are negotiating, but there is a limit to where Barca will go. At least i hope there is.
Personaly i wouldn t pay 100 mil for him.
I'm sure Dortmund has an secret internally agreed minimum at which they would sell and that is probably greatly below the 150m€ spotted. Now they are hard-balling. Of course it sucks to you as a Barca fan, but from their point of view it seems understandable, and it also seems to work. I would do the same. We all probably would. Should it fail, then keeping him was Plan A all along.
Yes, BVB could make bank here, but making bank isn't their main objective. They want to be a good team, and for that they need a worldclass LW. Regardless of how high the fee is gonna be, there's no way they are unlikely to find a realistic replacement for him in the remaining few weeks. Even Barca was struggling with that, and they had a) more time and b) more prestige to lure players. So basically they do not just want the fee for Dembélé, they also want to be compensated for the potentially shit season they are going to have.
They have Pulisic and could sign a player like 22 year old Gelson Martins from Sporting or Felipe Anderson for the RW. I think they are just having a laugh at the moment.
Pulisic is still not ready.
Don't know about Martins, is he actually even on the market?
