Probably not. Since the Saudis needed to bulk up the majority of the money to his wage to convince him. Sure we could've demanded (and maybe even got) 30-40M for him, but then the salary would've been 10M instead of 20M, which he wouldn't have accepted, especially considering there was genuine interest from Juve and some PL clubs too. But 20M net was too good to turn down. See him play there for 2 years max. Then probably back to Serie A. I still see him at Inter eventually, or maybe Juve.

the 20m offer become a 15m offer, which per recent leaks will be shortly under 10m
This is just ridiculous and terrible piece of business from Allemany and Deco.
The fact that we signed him for free doesn't mean that his value was 0 last summer.
Of course we slightly decreased his value with some terrible usage last season.
BUT, how much do you think AC Milan would sell him to any club?
At least 30-40m
Add now the fact that we are talking about a Saudi club (that pays him 20m NET wages LMAOL
) we could drive that price further up.
Anything less than 30m for him is just totally unacceptable
We are the laughing stock of football business

People talk about all the money spent on bad transfers and wages but miss the fact that we are absolutely the shittiest club when it comes to selling.
Even when it comes to selling decent players we are atrocious.
Where we want to sell, we make it so obvious that we want to sell. Kessie had a 500 million buyout clause 🤣. What's the use of that clause? Before he came here
I clearly remember people saying that if he flops here we can always sell for 30 million, he will have value.
The club is run by absolute morons.

A player's market value is not only determined by himself, but also by the clubs position. If the club doesn't want or need to sell, he can put up a high fee and tell interesting parties to either pay or fuck off.
But every agent and their dog know barca's position. We need to free up ffp space, we need every additional million we can get to register the players we want. So naturally they offer a low fee in the knowledge, that barca is forced to accept this fee.
What happens if we don't accept? We play with Kessie and can't buy/register Xavi's wishes, like Cancelo. So we either sell under market value or Deco and Alemany make Xavi unhappy and the squad worse. Their priority should be to make Xavi happy, no?
I don't think they open a bottle of champagne because they managed to sell Kessie for 15m. But if it was a necessity to realize Xavi's wishes then so be it. From 2024 onwards, the situation will change but until then, expect more deals like this.

Hundreds of millions is not a 'tiny budget'.
Same old narrative.
He has spent hundreds of millions on top of being left MATS, Balde, Araujo, Pedri, FDJ, Gavi, Dembele etc and then Lamine etc coming through after that.... hundreds of millions worth of players.
Folk need to stop making out Xavi has his hands tied as much as he does.
If Xavi is desperate for Silva now Dembele has gone... then that is on him for spending 120m worth on RWs he doesnt fancy to step up.
Fokk are too extreme either way.. it is either full on 'poor Xavi' narrative by same folk or it is 'Xavi is totally shit' from others'. Both as extreme as each other.
