Matthijs de Ligt

[Nazario1985]

No club should pay 100M for a CB specially not the likes of De Ligt .

Juve dreaming of 90-100M for him is like us dreaming of 80M for FDJ

He is too slow.

100 mil is prime Van Dijk.

De Ligt is about 60-70maxx

 

[FCBarca]

De Ligt made his bed, he has to sleep in it. Juventus are not amateurs and won't be bullied into moving a player they have heavily invested in, even with Raiola

Nevertheless, he's not the right profile for what is needed IMHO and certainly not at the fee or wages he'd command

You're kidding, right? If De Ligt is 100M, then FDJ is 120M minimum. Realistic prices are De Ligt 50-70M and FDJ 70-90M. De Ligt was never worth more than 75M, Juve actually over paid even back then, much less now, when his market value dropped by at least 10-15M, since he's at Juve. No way De Ligt should be more expensive than FDJ, his position alone makes sure of that. Outside of truly world class CBs like VVD and Ruben Dias, no CB in the world right now is worth more than 70M.

 

[Birdy]

His value has actually dropped, let alone increased at Juve.
40-50m max and that with installments over the next few years.

If Juve do not want that, let's wait until he enters the final year of his contract

 

[Devils]

Some rumours circulating that there is a Barca specific clause in his contract that would make his price 70m for us.

Don't really want him here, unless it's some bargain bin pricing of some 30ish.

 

[serghei]

70m lol. Not worth it.

 

[fergus90]

Christiansen on a free transfer is the way to go.

 

[serghei]

The only CB who is a world superstar is Van Dijk. That's it. Every other CB who costs in the 70m range is a losing bet. Even Varane is putting in clown performances proving he is not really the sure thing people believed.

I'd rather sign a new winger than pay 70m for De Ligt.

Agree. VVD was worth his price and De Ligt is not proving he was worth the money Juve paid for his services. I was disappointed he didn't arrive at Barca at first, but currently buying him for more than 30m sounds crazy.

 

[DonAK]

Problem for us is that any CB we sign should be starter-quality and those don't come cheap.

Maybe someone like Skriniar whose contract runs out in 2023 is worth looking at, that might cost 50m top.

Yea, Van Dijk was worth it, and he proved on the field he is as complete of a CB as you can get these days. Really a rare breed of player who is both physical, and a defense general, quite rare, since these qualities are usually spread over both CBs (one is the physical type, the other is more technical and such).

We really need to escape the hype surrounding players. We got burnt too many times.

They do come cheaper sometimes. Teams buying CBs for big money is a rarity. Chelsea's biggest signing as a CB was David Luiz IIRC, and he was a flop. 30-40m tops is the money we should be paying for a top CB. And by top I don't mean playing for big teams.

They'll likely sign Kounde for 70m to replace Rudiger who is looking for his one last huge contract likely going to Real Madrid.
