Im with the board on this one. Who the fuck in their right mind would pay a 19yo +10m. He can fuck off
Why did we buy Todibo again?
Don't buy the "crazy to come to Barca" part, if he was, he would have reined in Raiola and signed with us already. Sounds like wishful thinking to me.
To me there is really nothing new from what Oriol Domenech said. De Ligt himself said yesterday he was going to take his time making his decision. If he was crazy about joining us it should have taken this long.
Francesc Aguilar said someone intentionally planted negative news in regards to the De Ligt deal to rac1 to make Raiola look like the bad guy in case the deal doesn't happen.
This is pretty big coming from Aguliar considering he's a bit sympathetic to the current board himself. Not all that surprised Romero took the bait and reported the news.
cant embed the tweet as it messes up the page but Francesc Aguilar said this:
"The family environment wants him at Barça. It is true that United was pulling him as a kid, but Matthijs de Ligt wants to accompany Frenkie de Jong in the new Barça project. Neither is it true that Mino Raiola does not talk to Barça. He does it with whom he must and has decision-making power"
I think its a case of, we improve our offer and De Ligt joins Barca. if he wanted the United move he would already be there with the money they offered. still think City are waaaaay too quiet when they are in need of a new CB leader
