'Sources in the club confirm Paris Saint German offered between 90 and 100M for the Croatian the past summer, but Valverde changed the situation.'

when people slate our board for being shit at selling players, this is the reason why.. we'll probably get 40mil in 3 payments from Inter

Smart of the board, there is just no reason at all to renew him at the moment. Even if we keep him this summer a contract until 2021 is perfectly fine for now, he will be 33 by the end of it.

If only they applied this strategy a little bit earlier our wage bill will be a lot more balanced.

If what Moises says is true, considering he's one of the more reliable Barca based Journalists. It surprises me that Rakitic wasn't happy with the De Jong signing.

We aren't going to sit around and wait until he and Busi are like 33+years before making a move for a new Midfielder who can succeed both of them. Considering how much Valverde uses him and trusts him, it's not like he's going to be on the bench that quickly.

Rakitic: “Hopefully I can play until I’m 41. I feel perfect in this moment, I have a lot of football left.”

“I try to treat everyone the same, from the security guard to Lionel Messi.”

“We have the luck of having the best player in world football here at our club.”

“Not even my father would say what Mourinho said (praise) about me. It was incredible hearing that. He’s one of the best coaches in the world and it gave me huge confidence and motivation. I want to see Mourinho back in football soon.”

“I’ve been at Barça 4 and a half very good years. I’m a part of the best club in the world and that makes me proud. I love football, a lot, I never get bored. There’s a lot of repetition in training and travels but I still love it. If that love fades, I would stop.”

“I still find it incredible to play football every day and when you like something you have to be the best at it. I would never describe football as a job because it doesn’t feel like a job.”

“There were no words to describe how that moment felt. It’s impossible. You want to hug every fan in the stadium. And when that moment is gone, it motivates you to do it again. We haven’t been able to since but I have faith in these players for this season.”

“Everyone would like to play with 20 homegrown players from La Masia, but that’s almost impossible. They had a great generation with Pique, Xavi, Messi, Iniesta, Valdes and Busquets. But that doesn’t happen often so in order to compete, you have to make signings.”

Cough .. deluded ..

He probably will feel that he can play another ten years given that he’s basically given a free ride here to what the hell he wants to do .. I can’t ever recall him breaking his neck to get back in defence to stop an attack or whatever .. there’s only him and Messi who seem to have the luxury of doing what they want ..
