That would be very decent money for us and sheer lunacy for Barca. Why would they pay for somebody they’ve all but signed for free next summer already? The only reason for bringing him in now from a Barca perspective is if there’s a risk of him going elsewhere which seems extremely unlikely or if he can provide more value on the pitch this season than the transfer fee, which again seems unlikely. he’s not good enough right now to be starting for Barca and If he’s going straight into the Barca first team then they’ve got bigger problem than anybody thought.
No reason to believe that is true but I’d snap their hands off if it was legit.
