Sorry, jumped the gun.
Nothing to apologize for, I was just clarifying - flurry of speculation in the last few days and now it definitely was feeling like it is done. Just not officially yet
Sorry, jumped the gun.
I cant see it after the trouble you went through to get him. Maybe if someone was desperate to prize him away but I dont see any interest.
Rafinha?
I'd be happy if Rodgers would take him on loan at Leicester just to get his wages off the books and let Premiership clubs chase him next season when his stock has recovered
Gomes will go between 25-40M, Cillessen for 25M, Rafinha 25-35M, Rakitic 50-60M, Malcom 35-45M
No way Barca are getting those kind of fees for their players. Rakitic for a start is 31, No chance people will pay big money for him.The problem you find with Liverpool is there ex players are not allowed to play for other PL clubs without getting masses of shit so that is highly unlikely.
Rafinha and Malcolm are of no interest - you wont get E25m for the pair. Rakitic wiped about £30m of his value with his I dont like gays comments this last week. Maybe united will take him for £20m. Italy maybe a better option now.

All told though he's probably close with the $200m return on all those players. Agreed Rakitic is prob more likely to go for half of that value, but if they get 25-30 for him, 15-20 for Cillessen, 80-90 for coutinho, even on the low end already at 120. Gomes played pretty decent for Everton (and I thought i read Spurs were sniffing around), so i feel like 30ish is a safe guess on him. Malcolm is still young, could get 30-40 on him. 200 total seems very doable.No way Barca are getting those kind of fees for their players.

Ed 2planks will double that!Could be missing something but you'll be fortunate to get €50-60m for Rakitic at 31, no? Who's going to pay that for him?
They have good value players on sale and they got the best kit supplier deal with Real. Around 150 M€ while PSG and City are happy to get 75 M.How the hell can barca keep spending like this?!
He has not signed and the €125m fee is his buyout from July 1, else it is €200m - however Barcelona do not want a war with Atletico and will negotiate with the club and actually try to lower the fee. Expectation is to get it to €100m

They're wage:revenue is 84% and they took out a €150,000,000 loan to fund transfers in January.
It's betting the future on success while Messi is still a his best.
I thought they had club rules regarding the turnover to wages ratio mate?
La Liga president saying that someone is paying his full buyout clause
Remember when he refuses PSG payment ? That was hilarious ! Unprofessional and butthurt.Well as long as it's another La Liga club, because if it's a foreign club, he'll throw a hissy fit and try and change his own rules last minute.
