Matthijs de Ligt

[MTL_Barca]

If Gomes+Paco+Denis get us enough for De Ligt or De Jong that would already be great, if its even more it would be absolutely amazing.

With Digne, Aleix Vidal, Mina and Paulinho already sold we could get up to like 170-180M in two years back from the money we invested in (mostly) dead weight. Compared to most peoples expectations of how this will end that would be incredible

 

[Jombi]

Since Denis has a year left on his contract next summer and hardly plays, I can see him going for free or close to free next summer. I think its pure fantasy that he can get us 15m euros.

 

[FC433]

Ajax wants 140m for both FDJ and De Ligt.

We ended last summer with about - 43m, which leaves us with about 30m extra for next summer.

70m budget + 30m + 23m Paco's + 50m Paulinho's = 183m

And we have got Gomes and D. Suarez to sell.

Update on De Ligt situation according to Sport cover:

he really wants to come
priotizes Barça over other teams even meaning he will earn a bit less
Juve and Real Madrid have joined the fight to get him
He wants to have many quality minutes this season

De Ligt: “I am similar to him [Pique]. I like to carry the ball out from the back. Defensively I am strong and, like Gerard, I also started as a midfielder. Ajax's style of play is similar to Barcelona's. High press, a high defensive line and a high level of ball possession."

Sounds good!

 

[DonAK]

Nothing is certain, but I'd like to think he's a lock.

Alba - Umtiti - de Ligt - Actual good RB

Got a chance to be a really good backline if given a proper coach.

With our board .. they will end up paying someone to take him on loan !

 

[Barcaman]

Gomes and Paco sale can cover De Ligt purchase.

Use the rest for De Jong and I am content.

Sell Rakitic and buy a young striker too.

 

[Hardy]

so he wants to play as starter, not burning into the bench. If Valverde stays here he would be a totally moron to join us.

EV won't stay! Each day that passes and we all get one step closer on the inevitable.

This team at the same level of Getafe and Valladolid plus Messi.

I don't fancy the idea of signing both De Ligt and De Jong. I'd go with the CB.

Our midfield is super old. We need to add quality youngsters to it. Otherwise we will be totally screwed in two years.

Let's see what happens to Umtiti next season.

In my opinion, we shouldn't waste our whole budget on promising youngsters, 150 mil for 2 is just too much. A CB is a need, in the midfield we've got our own players who show potential. Arthur, and youngsters in Alena, Puig, Oriol. Maybe some of them are worth trust (for instance, Busqets thinks Oriol is).
