We won't waste our time activating his release clause if he doesn't want to join....

I'm not sure whether his unfortunate decision last year means he wouldn't want to join, in theory, this year honestly. He's always seemed quite positive in interviews and, though it isn't worth much, he started following Pep on Twitter in early May.

The bigger issue is his enlarged release clause. Honestly Barca are in no position to meet it and it'd be surprising if even PSG and City did. City'd be the more likely of the two, but I reckon another run on Bonucci might be more plausible first.
 
Indeed, according to the last indiscretions of the Basque media Deia, the leaders of Paris Saint-Germain would have contacted the entourage of the French international Atletic Bilbao to discuss the possibility of a transfer this summer. Still believing the source, Manchester City could return to the charge for the 23-year-old, but the French vice-champion "seems willing to try his recruitment" this summer.
Aymeric Laporte, 43 games with Bilbao this season, has established himself as a sure bet for the La Liga, to the point that Pep Guardiola has made it a priority for the future recruitment of the Citizens. In addition to the competition of Manchester City, the club of the French capital will also have to defy FC Barcelona in this file.
Ernesto Valverde, ex-coach of Bilbao and recently appointed in replacement of Luis Enrique, wishing to bring his former protégé to Camp Nou in the days to come. To be continued…

Yes, they are very imbalanced financially from what I've read. Their current board is really ruining the club.

Not sure they even have 100m. They have a lot of debt, sky high wages, their biggest competition just retained the CL, they have an ageing squad and a crumbling stadia. They have some challenges and a new CB is not a priority for them.
