Matthijs de Ligt

Pique will be done in 1-2 years, If not sooner. He seems to focus too much on business. De Ligt could be the best defenseman in the world. That's not easy to pass on, even If there's no immediate need.

I think the need is pretty high. Pique at 32 is quite old and risky to count on for much longer, and Umtiti could be done if his knee doesnt respond. Todibo is a total wild card, more so than Yerry Mina. He's almost a Barca B type of signing, so its very risky to count on him too much. Lenglet has been decent so far, and thats all our central defenders covered. But De Ligt is far from the only option out there.

I am just talking about next season. I doubt we will enter the season with more than 4 first team central defenders.

If Umtiti's situation doesnt improve and Todibo is one of those 4, it would be irresponsible to not enter the season with more than 4 first team central defenders. Would we have signed Todibo if he wasnt free? Is he really considered a fantastic defender, able to do the job against any team incl RM and Juve when needed?

[MENTION=23569]VN10[/MENTION], [MENTION=23571]Ajax[/MENTION] and other Dutch members, how credible is Voetbal International?

They are saying City is in the pole position to get him, is that credible?

Having de Jong is like the golden ticket to de Ligt. Of course, you'll need to fork out the money by the nose. But he will chose you if the offer is financially good enough for him and Ajax.

This was the reason he was linked to PSG in the first place. No de Jong, no de Ligt.

I have to think the fee may not be a problem for us.

It will be Raiola that will be the main obstacle. Apparently, He wants 10-12 Million in Commissions.

Lets look for a defender in Bundesliga instead. Raiola and his demands is not worth it IMO.

My favorite Upamecano and [MENTION=19517]Leo_Messi[/MENTION]'s favorite Konate. :p

Should definitely be cheaper than De Ligt.

And French too so Abidal will approve.

Every club would want to always be connected with Barca if we continue following this path. :lol:
