As much as I love having Bernardo in the team he is not irreplaceable.
Others will step up, others will be brought through the ranks or be purchased. There will be a plan & it will provide opportunities for hungrier players.
Barcelona are a broke joke club & he will be downgrading at a pivotal point in his career, which will be sad to see.
The way it's dragged on is poor & has echoes of Sane to Bayern Munich.
Bernie dresses it up by going on about mutual respect & happy to play here, but he does not make a positive statement about staying. If Barcelona can't pony up the dough I see him having a reduced role this season before being sold next season to the highest bidder.
