Barça's Transfers and Rumors

[Luftstalag14]

If Cesc leaves, Atletico's Koke (22) is main option, but Barcelona won't pay 60M buyout. Sevilla's Ivan Rakitic (26) is alternative. [rac1]

So it is a matter of 50m vs. 60m?

Keep Cesc and save the money!

 

[DonAK]

So what are they gonna do then? Offer 25m for Koke in opening bid? lol

I was away the whole day since I had my A-level exams. It's really healthy to dissociate yourself from the rumours out there.

Anything new from reliable sources?

You know it is that same old storyline and talking points:

- Clubs are either reluctant to sell or put out outrageous price tags on players that we want.
- We are hit with the sticker-shock and are in disbelief. Therefore we haven't been able to sign anybody we wanted to sign so far (MAtS aside).
- However, we are desparately trying to sell Cesc at firesale prices, as if he was some sort of plague.

End of story.

Espizua (agent Koke): "I've not been in touch with Barça. But if I'd tell you that no other club has called me, I'd be lying." [cope]

No point in selling Cesc unless it's to fund a mega signing like Aguero or a double signing of Hummels and Reus.

That's his buyout clause. Atleti won't sell to a rival for less than that. At least, I don't think they would do that. But they're in a lot of debt, so we'll see.

Ohh I see, so he can't leave if he wants to? Atletico has the final word?

If we meet the buyout clause, then it's up to Koke. If Koke doesn't want to come in the first place, then we are sunk.

I think I saw someone mentioning Piszczek here today. And now he's in Md cover... :eusa_think:

If we pay 60m, Atletico won't be able to do anything. But if we want to negotiate a lower price, then they would have the final word.

Piszczek was mentioned by some other newspaper, the same that alleged the Puyol to Milan rumors last summer. But Higuain, I'd take Higuain.

I swear no one talked about Higuain before I mentioned him in the Aguero thread and then suddenly the next days, we are rumoured to be interested in him. This is spooky.
