We have/had a non-aggression pact done with Laporta after the Figo issue , it means we shouldn't be making any bids for your players and neither do you nor we bid for the same player to avoid being played over by that third pary...
I think this whole pact thing is a myth maybe with other clubs but between real and Barca no way…wasn’t Pique approached by Flo with 50 ME for his presidential campaign and he turned Flo down.
It came to my knowledge by some Spanish friends (who are socio's ) that you did try to move for one of our players (who fell out with Jose this season ) and that's what made Perez enter this last minute bidding war on Neymar who the entire world knew he was moving to Barcelona since last year (even by the player himself )
If Barca and real see a player worth biding they will go for him that was the case of Neymar any quality player that the 2 teams need they will start a war over him… Neymar was so close to Madrid two times (as youth and 2-3 years ago) maybe Flo thought he wouldn’t want madrid to lose him again this is why he went 150 ME crazy and letting the Madrid fans know about it so no one will blame him if Neymar turned out great for Barca .
From Florentinos latest interviews I can sense he is broke and anxious maybe it’s the Neymar thing maybe not
So i don't know if Perez want to take this further (which might explain why the Isco move slowed down all of a sudden ) or the Neymar bid was just a small teaser , but in principle we shouldn't be making any bid for any of your players even with a low release clause
In the case of Thiago this is not the 1st time his father do this and talk to Madrid he did it back in 2011 and now… that Fu#@er if he is complaining about his son not getting enough playing time at Barca what is he expecting at Madrid maybe he will never see the pitch with the stars u have and your urgency for the CL… I think he is looking for more $$$ from a move or from us...
Madrid would like to rub it in with his signing of Thiago but I think they know his price is not worth it (18 ME + Tax )could be around 30 ME they will find a better needed player for Box to Box or DM I don’t see your team handing 30 ME on Thiago.
