Exactly. I cannot understand why we would let him go for 17-20 million.
Our club makes it impossible for other clubs to sign starters, while we are like a charity when it comes to transferring our back-up players. But bravo isn't a back-up player at all so I cannot understand why we are even negotiating with City when they are only willing to meet 50% of his buyout clause.
It's so black and white, we don't use the grey region at all.
Bravo's buyout is 40m, City is offering 20m, so why the fuck can't we demand they meet us halfway for 30m? That would be a good deal.
Either we get 30m for him or we keep Bravo. That would be a good deal and a win-win for us. 17-20m is a joke and we'd probably spend half of that bringing in a replacement who probably wont even be as good as Bravo was in the Barca system.

Why on earth would we meet them at 30mil and call that a good deal? He's our starting keeper. We NEED him for the upcoming season. After recent performances, I don't think MAtS is ready. Pay his buyout clause or GTFO

If these latest rumours are true, would explain a lot - especially the timing of Mats' injury and the intensified speculation about a Barcelona keeper exit. Whatever we get for Bravo is fine by me, he was never brought in to be the #1 - Mats' signing was always about now & the future. Hart's predictable exit makes it a perfect situation for Barcelona (Save for Mats being sidelined for now) to profit on a player they got as a stop gap while going from strength to strength with a solid rotating keeper in Diego Alves or similar. As for the amount, it's a non issue - since the player would've invariably pushed for a wage increase (He's on a much smaller wage than Mats) and it's the going market rate for a solid yet aging veteran.
Better still, the keeper position is solidified for the foreseeable future and the attention can turn to other needs
I think it's a great turn of events, if true

I am a fan of Ter Stegen's and I firmly believe he is our future, but I still can’t help feeling very sad to see Bravo go, even though I understand this is bound to happen sooner or later. Bravo has been very good for us to say the least and he played a big part in getting us the La Liga trophies we got.

I hope that's true. Sad to see him go, but if we were to keep the German, it was inevitable. 25m is a very solid fee as well.

I don't think it's a slight on Bravo, he's been great - I have no complaints and would've been happy to have him continue as a rotating keeper, just not the 1st choice. Credit to him though, he's not Pinto who was never really cut out to be first choice at a big club - deserves to be a starting keeper at a big club. I think it's such a win win for everyone

You can bitch and you can moan, but at least he's not going out on loan.

Now just watch us buy Diego Alves, and Lucho making him first choice goalie.
Wouldn't even be surprised. After he started Mathieu at LB instead of Digne I won't put anything past him anymore, lol
