DeJong, Pedri, Bernardo would be infinitely better than Turtle, Pedri, Bernardo. Mobile mid at last. But muh special skills...
Where did you get that mate?
Bernardo is getting around 9m EUROS gross OR 5m NET per year at City
Quite low salary, he is underpaid there.
He can come here on the same salary w/o problem, but I reckon he might get a small pay rise to get around 12m gross/6m NET per year here,
on the same scale as Fati, Dembele, Kessie, Kounde, Raphinia
Xavi hasn't learned yet. He's still a young manager that believes the 2012 internet discourse of those with the best technical skills are world beaters. He'll find out that YouTube highlights, Twitter fantasy lineups, and living in the past are not the reality of the modern game.
Tuchel said they're planning to add 2-3 quality players before the end of the transfer window. Assume Frenkie is one of the guys they're looking to sign.
Not sure about the Chelsea link. Don't they need strikers and defenders? their midfield is probably fine for another season.
I think both Kante and Jorginho's contracts are running out next year? They probably want to bring in a replacement or two now.
Hopefully they do. Frenkie probably more open to the idea of leaving for a CL club.

����| FC Barcelona have opened talks with Manchester City for Bernardo Silva. He may be signed, even if Frenkie De Jong stays.
@sport
I think this will be the key move for Frenkie to get the message and get the fuck out.
As long as we don't get his replacement, he can play hardball and refuse to take wage cut.
When he sees Bernardo coming in, being registered, he would know he has 0 chances of playing as the Sergi-Bernardo-Pedri will be fixed in md, and as subs Gavi and Kessie might play ahead of him.
It's a strategic move to kick his ass out once and for ever
