I hope he doesn't leave, but Pep is right - don't stand in the way of a player who wants out.
I don't know what is going on, but he hasn't seemed happy for a couple of years. Sure, he has played well on the pitch but if he really wants to go to Barcelona then we can go, providing we get a reasonable fee. I don't think we can replace him for £50m. Personally, I wouldn't swap him for De Jong either as he doesn't want to leave. I just think we'll struggle to replace him, especially 'late' in the window. I would rather he went to PSG as they will either offer decent swaps or will offer a fee closer to what he's worth - £80m.
Part of me thinks that - maybe - if he goes then it might allow us to play Foden or Grealish in the centre. I do think at times that both players are wasted wide. Both have the same control that Bernardo has and good workrate. We want these players on the ball where they can influence the game a lot more.
I just wonder how money-less Barcelona are managing to find the wages for all these players they are signing. It's very strange. It amazes me why so many players want to go there, they have no chance of winning La Liga or the CL for quite a while either.
Either way, I just hope this doesn't drag on and distract the club. If he wants out, get him sold ASAP and get a replacement in. If he wants to stay, brilliant he's an amazing player. I just don't want this every summer now.
