Update: Apparently Frenkie prefers us, but Ajax prefer to do business with P$G. It smells to me like we are lowballing again.
I guess this is what angers the clubs that deal with us, we bargain like cheap bastards by using the players preference towards us. But on the other hand, we sell players for dirt cheap(instead of being cheap bastards here), recent example being Munir for 1M.
Either get the player in good terms, or move on. You can lowball clubs sometimes, but its foolish to do it most of the time. Earn the money that you save by bargaining, on player sales instead.
Afaik, We angered Dortmund when we got Dembele, Angered Liverpool when we got Coutinho, Angered Gremio when we got Arthur, Angered Sevilla with Lenglet, Angered Toulouse with Todibo, have angered PSG with Rabiot, WTF.
