In advanced talks with Getafe, says MD and DiMarzio. Price around 3 million, Watford are also interested. Maybe that could apply an English tax :lol:

Rey Manaj will joan Watford on loan this season, which will be the last one of his contract at Bar?a. The club have also secured a percentage of a future sale, but Watford refuse to pay any transfer fee. — @mundodeportivo

It's an agreement between the clubs. Similar to how Jović will go to Fiorentina for no fee but with 50% of future sale going to Madrid.

Don't know how they'll officially announce the operation when it's done but it's a loan just on paper, in reality it's a free transfer.

Done deal. He'll initially sign for free with a sell on percentage for us but if they are promoted within the next 2 years they pay a transfer fee.

We are mostly just giving away these Barca B players while OTOH Madrid have sold a 21 yo Castilla CB to Lazio for 6m.

Manaj started 19 games in Serie A last season, he has 30 caps for NT (yes, it's Albania but still) and we couldn't even get 1-2m straight upfront for him?

Yes, we've sold Jutgla for a solid money but I think it was mostly because we've "exposed" him in La Liga when we had no other options and he looked quite well there. Otherwise he'd probably also only be sold for % of future sales like Manaj and Pereira.

Also sold Chust to Cadiz for 1m, and gave away Jovic for free :crbust:

Thee are plenty of B team players Barca would get money for and have had offers for in past.

Manaj is a poor player who has not excelled at any level.

Surprised Watford have even taken him for free.

Still what exactly? :lol:
He has failed in Seria A twice and has one good year in his all career which was in Spain 3rd division (old format) while being the age of 23/24.
He is 25 already, one year left in contract and not even a sure thing he can succeed in 2nd division in top leagues like Spain/England/Italy
Let's be thankful he was at least Barca B success

Did you watch any of his last season or saying 'failed' because you just looked at goals?

Still has to earn 30 caps even for a country like Albania. I can think about a player in our first team who couldn't do the same. :puig:

Clubs have spend money on worse players than him, nobody can convince me we couldn't get at least some money now.

Wage is quite high right. Maybe we paid a % at Spezia.

Should have been able to squeeze something though. Managed 5 goals in Serie A. That's 5x Dembele.
