See, this is the fuzzy part. My understanding is that they need to sell de jong to be able to register the seven-ish people they have already bought this summer. If they somehow buy Bernardo after they sell de jong, does this mean a sixth lever is incoming?

They've registered everyone already bar kounde- who is being registered after pique takes his wage cut (up to 50%). Aftwr that bernardo comes if de Jong leaves as simple as that mate
 
Paqueta/veratti/barella are the only 3 replacements I can see for bernardo. Felix is a striker not a cm.

Could move Foden or Grealish central though mate?

Potentially yeh but I'm not sure they are defensively switched on enough or capable of covering the yards (not fitness wise but mentally) to play in those big games like bernardo has done for us i.e. the liverpools. Breaking play up and then having the technical ability to play it out.

Grealish probably not but Phil has a higher work rate. It’s just getting tedious now , especially the whole four stands clapping at the end etc? There is obviously positive signs being told to him that he’s likely to move before the window shuts so as long as world class replaces him then get it done
 
PSG have already brought in two cheaper midifelders in and I doubt they are going to bring in a third. Veratti is still first choice and they aren't going to cash in. Its Barcelona or he stays.

Most likely. But i hope we don't let him go for anything less than £80m

I would put another premise before letting him go.
Yes sell him for 70+ million or so, BUT we must have already found a very good replacement beforehand!

Can’t see him joining PSG if I’m honest. I don’t think any business has ever been done with them

They have to watch their spending with Mbappe but are still more convincing that they have the cash. But they don't really need an extra midifielder.

I agree- I love the guy, but it's dragging on and if it's not this summer it's next. It's shit timing, but if you could guarantee me one of barella/veratti/paqueta for reasonable money as a replacement or someone of similar quality I would probably take it. Gundogan looking superb and at full fitness also helps...

Unless we say no, it’s too late.

Bernardo wants to go- so City won't say no. The stance we've made that we let players leave when they want to go doesn't work if we don't let bernardo go just cuz it's too late in the window. It's also still possible imo to go and get a replacement it's just going to cost more than it would of 3 months ago.

And they don't meet our valuiation

This is more likely- but with bernardo wanting to go I think we ate probably saying 80m but would accept 70m. Same with sterling and Jesus on the whole 50+ then they go for 45.
