20 - Dani Olmo

[El Ilusionista]

According to Fabrizio its over 60 millions. Could be 65 or even close to 70m you never know with Barcelona.

Yeah this is done. The sporting directors of both clubs wouldn't meet if the deal wasn't really close. They just talk about the final details.

edit: 55m+7m. Not good, not terrible. But for a player we don't need.

 

[jamrock]

If definitely 60m that's his buy out clause, even though it expired, we won't pay more, the sticking point was always how the payment is structured.

They will almost certainly go for Williams next season, when we will definitely be in a position to sign whoever we want, all this reports of us telling him the train only passes once is BS.

The only question is would one rather spend the money on a DM, or a AM and LW fill in.

 

[MontenegrinCuler]

Well, he is our new player. I wonder whether Deco is now going to give up on this transfer window or look for a new LW.

 

[khaled_a_d]

Well 60 mil euros is not the worst, it's probably about market value for him.

The question is, would the money be better spent on a DM, or 1v1 type winger? I think so.

We tried for our main winger target and he didn't want to come. So we can say maybe no options there, but perhaps if we had 60 million it was better spent on an actual DM (which we still don't have!)

Olmo is a good player though and 60m isn't a catastrophic price, so not the worst it could have been, even though it isn't ideal.

Who?

 

[Andresito]

Fucking hell. I have the same feeling as when we signed Griezmann. Money wasted.

 

[Porque]

Sociedad wanted Dani Rodriguez so the lad must be Basque.

Let's get him involved in first team dynamics and pump him up then tell Bilbao buy out clause or nothing.

They won't be able to resist next year making the Nico deal 30m + Dani R

If his rotation helps Pedri, Frenkie and Gavi to stay fit, it's actually a good investment. Need to see how it'll work out. Flick's football is very demanding.

 

[companyofcules]

Olmo shouldn't be a discussion without selling Gundogan.
We should be very careful with the money we spend.

 

[te amo barca]

This will be a class transfer. Nothing like Greizmann and Coutinho. He fits both LW and CAM in a 4-2-3-1 as he’s shown at the euros.

 

[Andresito]

If his rotation helps Pedri, Frenkie and Gavi to stay fit, it's actually a good investment. Need to see how it'll work out. Flick's football is very demanding.

That might be true but we're neglecting other positions in need of improvement.

 

[Raketa10]

Welcome Dani!

 

[ajnotkeith]

Who?

Onana was the obvious option. I would also loan Kalvin Phillips still. And of course Zubimendi if he ever becomes interested to come.

There are also other options other than obvious names.

 

[companyofcules]

, when we will definitely be in a position to sign whoever we want,

It's like reading the newspapers 😅
How on earth you predict we are going to be that without any valid points? What will change in a year?
I fail to see it.
Selling assets for "profit" is like pretending to be billionaire based on the circulation of capital between you and your buddies.
