Barca Transfers and Rumors

[Messi983]

IMHO our TOP priority should be to renew Alba and sign a new LB. I honestly don't know which player ahould we sign as Alba's backup but that shouldn't be so hard to find since we are not looking for a regular starter. Miranda certainly doesn't have attributes to be a long term solution for Barca.

Don't know about this, I think it's pretty hard to convince players coming here knowing they will play 10-15 games/season at most for the next 2-3 seasons.

Also, I wouldn't write off Miranda. He's not ready for the first team yet but he could still develop and be at least a useful squad player. He's also tall so I think he could be a potential LB/CB hybrid in the mould of Abidal and Mathieu.

If we buy De Ligt for €60M+ we should get Onana for free.

I dont see how people can claim we can "cash in" on Rakitic. 50-100m for that guy at 31 seems like pure fantasy. He's probably not going to go for more than 20m at most.

We sold 30 year old Paulinho for 40M. Mina was sold for 30M because he had a good world-cup. Rakitic had an even better world cup.

I think we should expect for 40M-50M.

Paulinho was a special case involving a Chinese club buying their fan favorite back as we spent the same signing him just 12 months earlier.

Rakitic becoming the second most expensive 31+ year old in history after Ronaldo does not seem realistic.

I would go for Felipe Luis as the LB back up as he's out of contract this summer. Or bring back Cucurella as back up.

I think 30M is more realistic number if he gets sold. would say 25 should be lowest we accept and 40M is maximum to expect

29 year old Matic went for 46M despite being just a regular Chelsea player.

Rakitic on the other hand is a UCL winner, scored a goal in final, is a WC finalist & is ever present for Barca when it comes to fitness.

50-60M for me is a fair price for a guy of his calibre, who will just turn 31. He could play for 3-5 years easily considering the way and the position he plays. From marketing standpoint he and Modric are levels above in Croatia when it comes to popularity.

I don't know mate I just don't see it but I honestly hope I am wrong. It would be great to have a proper LB backup from La Masia though.

Found nothing on the page you linked. You need to be more specific.

SKY GERMANY: Rabbi Matondo (Manchester City / 18) set to sign for Schalke 04 for £10m.

Brahim Diaz for 15M

We get nothing from Sandro, 1M Munir, Samper 0, Onana 0.

we pay good wages and aren't ruthless enough so its no wonder players outstay their welcome

Agree with Jombi, before PSG was the only club I could see 40-50m on Rakitic but I’m sure they won’t help us get rid of him.

Can’t see which club gonna spend 40m on Rakitic.

Did PSG really offer 90 last summer or just rumors? Should have accepted if true IMO
