The price is crap because the player is crap. Get real. It's what it is in the words of lord Valverde.

Exactly. This idea clubs are refusing to bid more for him when would be willing to is pure fantasy and not how buying clubs operate.

There probably are clubs willing to pay 20-30m but he won't want to go to any of the ones that want to.
Most likely any good clubs that want him only want him for loan or dirt cheap as a punt.

25 mil for a 43 year old clogger?
Just take a bag of crisps and a complementary beer and be happy.
25m for Kimbo Slice is best for business mate.
The club is cucked. Nothing else. There have been absolutely shit players who have gone for 20 to 30 million. Kessie won Serie A with Milan, was highly rated and other clubs wanted him on a free too.
In one season where he was average his value drops dramatically. Why? Be ause he is at a club where our negotiators are total cucks.
The club could easily have waited till the end of the window and played hardball but like the cucks they are they jump at the first subpar offer. It's time to get real professionals in ,not ex players who milk the club and fuck it up even further.
We are basically heading towards Ajax, Milan status.

The draconian rules of Tebas have absolutely affected Barca's ability to sell, and this is seen throughout the league to everybody apart from Madrid.
Top tier players you can still sell for full whack because there will be many other big clubs desperate to get him. Where you get screwed is when you are trying to sell mid tier players like Kessie
Everyone in Europe knows about the desperation of La Liga clubs to sell, so they can just come in, with low offers and play hardball, knowing full well they hold all the cards in the negotiation. With little competition in signing these mid tier players, it's little wonder they go for such paltry amounts.
Tebas has effectively turned La Liga in to the Pound Shop Store of Europe.

Nah it doesnt to any great extent.
There are not teams out there willing to pay more for Kessie but not doing so due to Tebas rules.
If teams wanted Kessie and believed he was worth more they would be willing to pay for him regardless of Barcas situation.
Not how it works.
Real struggle to sell plenty of players themselves anyway.

Kessie was not chased by a host of top clubs when Barca signed him and came off the back of an average season at Milan.
After one season at Barca where deemed not good enough and miles off the top midfielders at the club they are looking to move him on.
There is no team sitting back not bidding for Kessie here due to Barcas la liga rules when if those rules no in place would be spending double than what is being offered now.
It makes no sense at all.
The seasons kick off in a couple weeks and Kessie still there and the compeition for him that drives up price would be the number of clubs willing to pay decent money for him... which is not there seemingly.

Pre Tebas draconian rules, Barca were able to sell Semedo ( 40m ) , Malcolm ( 45m ) , Moriba ( 20m ) Paulinho ( 50m ) , for a total of 155m.
With the general inflation of transfer fees since then we could say that number is around 180m in today's money.
If those players were sold today, Barca would struggle to get a collective income of more than 70m for them.
So effectively, we are now in a position where we are only able to sell players for around a third of the price we used to be able to sell them at.
This is totally and utterly linked for the most part to Tebas. Yes, COVID coming along and breaking us financially played a massive part. But it is Tebas and his rules that have kept us firmly tied to that financial nightmare.
Instead, of offering the league some rope, he has pushed us further in to the swamp. The figures above speak for themselves.
