What power? You offer money, they say yes or no. Done. Only thing that's an advantage is that Barcelona is a big club. But if the player doesn't force his club to sell then there is nothing Barcelona can do.

Indeed this has been the problem all along in this transfer season teams think it sexy nowadays to say 'no' even when a big money offer comes in.. so it defenatly has to come from the player himself or else like u said barca can't do anything about it.

Neymar/P$G have changed the market forever. What was once 50M will now be 90M and 90M will become 140M. If Man United would be buying Lukaku now Everton would demand 130M and I think United would be prepared to pay that. It's just a new reality that clubs will have to adapt to. Everything based on one single player/club. F*** them all.

His situation is kind of similar to Verratti. As Gerard said it depends how much fuss is he going to make to convince Liverpool to sell him. There are alternatives, Eriksen would be a better signing maybe and he already stated that would be very hard to turn down Barca. Yeah Levy is stubborn and hard to negotiate with but in the end he gets the business done and he'll cost cheaper than Coutinho.

I feel Barça should break the bank with Coutinho. Even tho I think Neymar is considerably better, I feel coutinho is a better fit for Barça. Him alone would make us better than in 2016/17. Now, him + WC midfielder and barça will play in the champions league's finals, at least.

how come top club like bayern manage to sign good players without spending such crazy money? how much did they pay for dortmund top player lewandovski or götze? already proven players real also started to do the same, best way to adapt is to invest money in scouting and bring player before his price goes sky high, for example isco from malaga or dembele from rennes, if barca continue buy like this, 130 for one player and dont manage to sell their players who are not worth being in the squad then this type of business is not sustainable.
before neymar price were also sky rocket, the thing is psg payed for release clause and they got superstar player who is already in top 3, not player like dembele who is still just a talent, comparing who will win more if barca pays 150 for dembele or 222 for neymar, i think psg.
thread is about coutinho, i see him as a good iniesta replacment but would not go over 100 m

you just cant assume that barca will play in CL finals just beacuse they will buy coutinho and wc midfielder, football is more than that, for example, atletico had more CL finals then barca in last 5 years, they knocked barca 2 times with famous MSN also
