Only Bartomeu had the ability to get a deal like that done, he is no longer with us
Only way round this can see is Dembele agreeing to renewal terms with a very low release clause from the summer.
Gives him some security if fucks his hammies in latter part of season and gives him a lot of freedom to move/demand more money if stays fit and performs.
Sorts the FFP issue for now and Dembele retains the upper hand in leaving/asking for more cash.
He won't do that
The whole point of this power play is to secure agent fees for his agent, and a fact signing on fee for himself.
Or he gets a mega deal here as he knows Barca will be desperate to balance the books to register Torres.
A release clause means a transfer fee will have to be paid minimizing the financial incentive for Dembele and his entourage
This was a masterstroke by Dembele and his agent, and a gargantuan miscalculation by Laporta
Depends on whether Dembele does have some genuine desire to stay at Barca or not.. or all about the money.
IF he does it is about only scenario that allows him to stay but on his terms to increase salary/move in future.
The club's offer actually gave him a pay increase from his current deal.
More than fair, the fact he's pulled this stunt shows all we need to know about this mercenary
A good time to remember how Demb?l? left Rennes.
Mikael Silvestre (Former Rennes director of football): "He texted me from the airport with a boarding pass. He told me that he was tired of football and was going to Senegal with his grandmother."
