Looks like De Ligt really wants to come and told Riaola again that money is not important and that his choice is Barça. Sources from Spain so not sure what to think about it. Ffpolo, sergiosoleMD, MigRico and MD.

Barca can only make one more big money acquisition and has decided to go with De Ligt.
That's suicide. We need Suarez replacement!

I don't know why we can only make one big money acquisition since we should have our usual 60m slotted for summer window transfer untouched, on top of that we borrowed 150m euros from the US recently to beef up our transfer coffer, not to mention we might sell some players.
Plus we are raking in a lot more money this season from three sources (1) the new Nike deal that will pay us at least 105m a year, up to 155m (2) Champions League money estimated at 85m, 30m more than last season already and (3) approximately 230m from the expanded La Liga TV right sales.
I think that is BS.
Edit: Ahhh, I forgot we spent 75m on De Jong already. But still we should have money from the 150m borrowed from the US to cover for both De Ligt and Jovic.

MD says literally EVERYBODY in Europe wants De Ligt: Juventus, Bayern, City, Real Madrid, Atletico...
Where did you read we borrowed the money to just blow it on transfers? That would be very worrying.
I've read we paid another loan with it, because we got a better deal with the new one. That would make more sense to me from a financial pov. Idk if i missed an announcement here.
I'm sure we can afford the players we want this summer without it tho. We won't just add players after all and i think we can expect at least one bigger sale on top of 20-30M for Gomes and some peanuts for Denis and Rafa.
