Sure, I don't trust them blindly, I'm just saying that IF he'd want to leave last year (which he didn't) and if Barca would be a good selling club (which we're not) we could have sold him for around 30m. Gueye who is just a year younger than Raki went to PSG for that money.
60m is exaggerated and I don't remember anyone really rated him that highly last year. Maybe in 2018 after a good WC when PSG was apparently also interested but setting an initial 40m price tag (especially when you're trying to include a player in a swap for another player and want to drive up his price) for someone who has started almost every game for the club in previous 5 years was not really that unrealistic.
Obviously this year situation has changed because he has lost a starter spot, had just a year left on his contract and because all players prices on the market have dropped for around 10-20% due to corona but again if he'd want to go to EPL I think we could still get around 10-15m.

Isn't the face that he just returned to Sevilla, the only club that Rakitic wife was rumoured to allow her husband to move to, enough to justify why we could not sell him and receive a transfer fee in previous seasons from other clubs.
Those pretty lil cocktail waitresses. You let them get in your ear and that's it. Two kids later and cucked for life.

I remember.
There was even a forumer here who was thinking PSG had really made a 90 M? offer for Rakitic 2 years ago.

Villarato!
Same case for most players with families well settled in a particular position. And most clubs understand that. Very few places who'd take him that wouldn't be a huge cultural change for a player's family.

Man is in his happy place. His wife is in her happy place. His kids are in their happy place. That is something everybody would like to achieve in life.

Damn, a midfielder who can provide goals and attacking threat. We should sign him.

125m release clause. Much better spend that money on Raki than on a bum like Lautaro.
