Matthijs de Ligt

[Newcomer]

Sayonara De Ligt. Have fun in Italy.

Would be stupid from Juventus to pay 70/80 M for the player and put a 100 M release clause. Double what you have paid is sensible business.

Why would he sign for Sarri who’s most famous for moving arguably the best holding midfielder in the world ( Kante ) out of his normal position to playing him where he had relatively little influence ?

Sarri also started Barkley and then subbed in Kovacic 24 times last season !!!

Because signing for Sarri is 100 times better than warming the bench for Valverde.

watch 'cules' spin this and blame Messi for not contacting De Ligt

I won't blame Messi for not contacting De Ligt because that's not his job.

But I will blame him for pushing to get Neymar back (and I'm 100% sure he's doing that) because that's also not his job.

Maybe we should just get rid of Bartomeu, sack Valverde and make Messi a player-manager-president so people would actually hold him responsible for wanting to have his friends around.

This what happens when you have a weak president, and you still want to blame the players? Players won't dare to push for Neymar if Bartomeu and Valverde were strong. Would you imagine Messi doing this under Pep or Florentino Perez leaderships?

 

[Devils]

My sources have confirmed.

FC Barcelona have withdrawn from the race to sign him.

Its over.

 

[XaviV]

Because Barcelona is swimming in CL's the past years.

Relatuve to Juve, yes. We have won 4 CL titles since their last one.

There are reports the release clause is starting with 150m and it's gonna increase every year. We don't know how much yet.

Amazing player and talent. But in the end of the day still a CB.

You just don't break your wage structure for CBs as the prospect market is flooded with great upcoming CBs.

 

[Moe]

I'm so glad that we stood our ground and didn't bend over to him and his agent. He was the perfect Pique replacement, and I wanted him really bad but not at the expense of breaking our wage structure and paying the greedy fat rat 20% of the operation.

 

[Ajax]

If true its sick that they him that much

Still think it isnt over as everybody just assumes that Ajax only wants 70 and bonusses. Think Overmars is just chilling with his phone in hand waiting for the bidding war

 

[messi2140]

more so than fucking juventus lol

Yes Juventus is known for bottling cl finals hard to deny that , but atleast they are getting there. Meanwhile FC Banterlona got slapped in 4 QF's and got embrassed in 2 Semi-finals the last 7 years.

 

[Zidane82]

I think we should just wait and hope he makes the right decision .
If we fail I’d use his money and Griezmans and buy VVD from Liverpool

As if Liverpool would just gladly offer you VVD.

He has just signed for them, has been the best player of the league, is the biggest transfer for a CB.

Also, FC Barcelona has signed an agreement with Liverpool when they bought Coutinho. You have to pay a bonus of 120 M if you want to buy one of their players. Which means you would have to pay 120 +120 (Griezmann) + 70 (de Ligt) for VVD.

 

[Arizona Scott]

as an aside it might be better for de ligt to face the pace and agility from serie a forwards than those from la liga or epl. might be better for him to ply his trade their 3 years and at 22-23 try to play with the big boys. i think what we do with our midfield and backline has far bigger implications than de ligt in or out this transfer window.

The hardest point in this saga and de Jong saga is to get the player to agree to sign. All clubs involved would pay the transfer fee. If de Ligt agrees to join Juventus, it is done.
