Barça's Transfers and Rumors

[DonAK]

Arda Turan would've been a great depth signing

Rocking the beard as well which should be the reason alone to sign him.

 

[KingMessi]

Remember when we were linked to him early on in the transfer window? DonAndres would approve of this signing.

Yeah, think it was SPORT reporting it.... I wonder how much his buyout is.

It's 41M euros.

 

[DonAK]

It's 41M euros.

Damn.... While I don't really want us to poach from Atletico, I definitely would have wanted Arda if he was available.

Has Atletico sold a single player this window for a price lower than the release clause?

 

[linetty]

40M on Turan would leave me with well spent money impression.

They sold Costa and Luis for the buyout, but they didn't ask for the taxes (in other words, they didn't make the player pay his own buyout).

Still sold them for the buyout. I think it's safe to assume that if we want an Atletico player, we need to pay the buyout.

Considering that we are direct rivals, I think it's safe to assume that they would force the player to pay his own buyout. Either that, or we'd need to pay a bit more than the buyout.

This has probably been mentioned already but I've seen elsewhere that we've supposedly offered 60 million for De Maria but were turned down flat .....if true , it shows that we have money available and we're anxious to part with it while we still can ...

 

[Flavia]

Don't see any wrong in having a "galacticos"
as long as everyone knows when to forget about being the most handsome or well dressed when its time to work. The continuity of our humble respectful culture must be stresesed also. Funny thing is we have had our very own galacticos for a long time now. No need taking the pretentious moral high road. Xavi, Messi, Iniesta, Pique, Cesc, Neymar, Busi all in one team. . . Galacticos? No?

No, not even close. Except for Neymar and Cesc, all the rest are home grown, and Pique cost only 4m to get back. It's not about "moral high road" either, but buying unnecessary players just for the sake of it, as rm usually do.

BS rumour, if I read it correctly it was the infamous Gallardo who invented that rumour.

 

[Egert]

Barcelona will make final attempt to sign Koke. They will sound out Atletico and player and make bid if both are open to transfer. [sport]

Also rumor about Di Maria, but Real won't sell him to us anyway. What do you guys think, will Koke or Di Maria happen?

No, neither.
