Raiola was livid at the way Ibra was treated by Pep.

He still trash talks Pep to this day.

The club have not dealt with him since.

Raiola was a main factor for us losing 50m+ on the Zlatan transfer. Im still chocked that the club only sold him for 20m.

Bartomeu do have a good relationship with Raiola and Jorge Mendes. He's more diplomatic than Laporta was, I'll give him that. That also results in him lacking the cojones to take the big decisions though.

BTW, I highly doubt that Ibrahima Konaté (at least currently) would be more expensive to get than MDL. €100 million would be an absurd number for a 19 year old talent. I think that he could be bought for no more than €60 million. The club establishing a relationship with a club like Leipzig could come in handy as well in the future for both clubs since Leipzig has been and is playing rather offensive football. It could become a good "partner" club to loan out talents and players to.

Leipzig have plenty of money and have already shown themselves to be difficult to budge negotiators like with Keita. They certainly got every cent they could've demanded for him and will do the same with any other player. They'll keep their guys for however long they please, and it's difficult to pressure them as a club.

They also have Werner who's getting primed up for a big money move soon. They are too ambitious about their project to have a firesale of all their best prospects so abruptly (including Upamecano here), so the Konate saga will probably be long and come to fruition when he's already hyped up big time and the market is inflated even more.

Right now only Arsenal is linked with him but I doubt that lasts for long. He could very well end up with more hype than De Ligt in the next few years, and with several clubs on the lookout for CB talent. We've gotten lucky to be winning out on multiple great hype trains in recent years like Dembele/Arthur/FDJ and maybe de Ligt now, it'd be insanely lucky for us to hop on Konate as well. Can't win everything, but who really knows how this is gonna play out.

Leipzig have kept Upamecano until now and apparently want 100m for him. They barely let Keita go to Liverpool and that was only possible because the guy had a release clause.

They finally have their big name manager now too in Nagelsmann so I don't see them letting any player leave unless it's for an absolutely crazy fee.

Raiola is his deal maker. Not his agent. I doubt he can demand 10m for that

Well, if he allowed a picture of him being used as a water level riser in Paul Pogba's pool being posted, he has no shame and can demand absolutely anything.

I think Juve has the best papers.
Raiola is good friends with Nedved.

Chiellini is 34, Bonucci is 31, Barzagli is 37
He can play with Grandpa Ronaldo.

So predictable...

De Ligt is a big Barca fanboy. But i don't see it happen.

We won't have money for him if we prioritize LB and CF positions ahead of a CB.

Sigh.
