At this rate I don't think we'll sign him which is a pity. Hopefully this doesn't come back to bite us in the ass again like with Isco or Modric who both wanted to play for Barca.
This is truely terrifying. Barto has his eyes on the shiny Ferrari that is Pogba.
Ajax are not the type of club to go crazy with the fee's. They just wanted a chance to a) make CL money and b) actually win the league before losing their two big stars.
Perfectly normal for Madrid to be interested as they will need a Modric replacement soon at worst, and will want to drive the price up for us at best.
Next summer will be a seriously good midfielder market. De Jong, Eriksen with 1 year on his contract, Rabiot on a free, Pogba pushing to leave.
Have they ever had such a huge interest for their players like they have for FDJ and MDL?
Most big clubs are rumoured to want them and now with the insane transfer fees they probably want to milk as much money as possible compared to their previous sales.
De Jong is a huge Barcelona fanboy, and he does not like Real Madrid.
Atleast we have that going for us.
Im quite sure he would rather take a little bit lesser fee to join us becouse of it.
Not many players that would do that, but FDJ is one of them imo.
Isco was allegedly a big Barca fan too.
I could be wrong, certainly the player's wish matters but I think the selling club always prefers more money than less, not the player.
The players are not slaves.
If they dont want to go to one club, they cant be forced to go there.
