Any idea who this could be?

If the deal comes off, it would be the most expensive of the summer, even more than if Paulo Dybala left Juventus. [Mundo Deportivo]

One of three things:
Bollocks made up to generate clicks.
A smokescreen by the club.
Journos getting over excited after mishearing something.
 
Messi apparently turned down Barca's opening bid of around £25m-£30m a year the other day.

If it is one of Messi or Neymar it will be the former. No way do they let Neymar go when his best is still yet to come.

I think it will more likely be someone like Mbappe.
 
Great, now we can eat our heads for next 10-15 on who this could be... I will go with Neymar.

It's been common knowledge we like Mbappe it's the secretive part like someone left field or at least that's how I read it.

TBH it sounds like bollocks to me. Mundo are pretty hit and miss at the best of times. But if it true then it'll be one of those two for sure. Right now they're the only two players in the world I see City breaking the transfer record for.

Agreed on all accounts. Way too vague, click-baity and just a bit too familiar to be genuine IMO.

Looking at valuations, courtesy of CIES, the only players in theory worth more than Dybala are Neymar, Messi, Suarez, fake Ronaldo, Griezmann, Mbappe, Pogba and apparently Harry Kane.

Could see us breaking the record for one of MSN (not sure about Suarez at this stage) or Griezmann, but honestly none of those transfers seem likely at all.
 
Maybe a little controversial but would Guardiola want his career taininted by that ever increasing argument that he can't win the Champions League without Messi.

Genuinely doesn't give a shit what people say about him. He isn't that sort of man. He just wants to win.

With or Without Messi he is still the best manager in the world.
 
Oh Christ...

This one silly rumour from deepest darkest Spain is now gona make this thread quite something over the coming weeks.
Its Neymar, its Messi, I know who it is but i can’t say, Ive heard it’s such a player.... bla bla bla.

We should all want us to just focus on Full backs, a Keeper, CB and CM. Not d1ck head £300m deals for another attacker when we have Kun and Jesus!

** I'm just guessing its an attacker as it usually is with these things ha! **

** Oh, and 300m is also a guess **
 



Lee suggesting that he's heard similar talk around Manchester...

I would assume tHat if this is anything, it's the press catching wind of what @tolmie's hairdoo heard about Mbappé
 
Not a journalist around who knows enough about this deal to say what they've said without spilling the name in my view. Isn't it an industry measured on credibility? When you've got specifics you use them.
