Lads - he’ll be leaving us this summer if Barcelona pay us £80m+ and we get a replacement in.
This isn’t a secret, and nothing over the last 24 hours changes that situation.
His appreciation for the support we showed him at the game and his thanks on Twatter don’t mean he’s trying to send some veiled goodbye message to the fans - they’re him thanking the stadium for our support. That’s literally what he says.
If he does get his move - I’m sure he’ll say his goodbyes then.
Fact is, based on their settlement on Friday Barca have to raise any money they spend - so if they bring in £80m of fees, I’m sure he’ll be gone.
Til then - nothing changes.
