Arthur: "My only idea and the only thing that interests me is staying at Bar?a. Interest from other clubs is always flattering but I want to stay in Barcelona for many years to come." [cat radio] https://t.co/7IqOA5LV38


Oh one hand I admire his resistance to being forced out of the club to make money for Neymar on the other hand I don't think he's all that and If clubs are interested I wouldn't mind cashing in on him for serious money.

Every time you'd think the board can't disappoint you anymore they somehow find a way :lol:

Tbh i doubt that rumor is true, not even Bartomeu and his goons are this stupid...right?

How is the club making money off moving him to Juventus in a straight trade with no cash for Pjanic, who's on higher wages?

Care to explain that?

Doubt it would be a straight trade with no cash but that is what is being reported.

It would most likely not be so much a trade as each club pays an amount.... say 60m.

Barca would get the profit of 60m minus what has been amortised down on Arthur so far. Would have to look up his fee but say it was 35 over five years they he would be worth on the books 21m. So Barca get in profit 39m.

But if paying 60m for Pjanic would have his amortized cost instead which say over 4 years would be 15m.

Basically Barca would get around 39m in 'profit' but amortisation costs from Arthur to Pjanic go from 7 to 15m.

That is how it would work I think but all it really achieves is profit this summer but higher costs after that on Pjanic and for longer than would have had to pay down Arthur.

Wages have to be considered as well purely on fee that is how it works roughly I think.

Surely it cant be a straight swap though.

That makes more sense, although the player swap itself I just cannot stomach. Pjanic is the type of player we shouldn't sign. 30 years old, not athletic at all, very slow, struggled the last season.

At least Arthur is still young and can improve, and you can eventually sell him for a decent amount later when the market is back up again. With Pjanic you're stuck with another aging player that moves like a snail.

Club is in debt I think they need to get around 100 mil until 30.06.

They will make transfers like Neto-Cillesen.

This year it will be Cancelo-Semedo. I doubt Arthur will want Juve transfer, that is not league for him.

So, instead of transferring Rakitic, we want to trade Arthur for his brother? :lol: This club, man...

No it wouldnt change anything for Rakitic either way.

Pjanic is a better player than Rakitic and than Arthur but at 30 it doesnt seem to make much sense for straight swap at all.
