Professional in the way he carries himself on & off the pitch, he always comes off well in interviews. I like this profile in footballers for Barcelona
More of a recent phenomena at the club but they are really well run and negotiate shrewdly. I even believe most of the Ajax club wants De Ligt at Barcelona but they aren't going to allow their great connection to preclude them from getting fair market value. If nothing else Barto et al must know this after the De Jong negotiations as there were similar moments in Frenkie's transfer speculation. They responded, both club & player, in a way that discredited any speculation. It has the feel of policy and I like that in a club
There's no reason for any announcement to happen now when transfer window hasn't even opened, there's no rush
In any event, I'd be shocked if this transfer doesn't happen
