Frenkie de Jong

Rags linked now!

Don’t underestimate the Rags pulling power when it comes to Dutch players. Over here they’re still seen as this mythical great club due to them having Dutch players like Horseface and Stam.

I’m sure Van Beek will give De Jong a positive reference about Manure.

What some people don’t understand is that if we brought FdJ, in a matter of two years he would be one of the two or three protagonists of our team and naturally one of the top earners. It’s also why we anticipated ourselves in already giving Grealish a massive wage and at some point we will have to improve it. Think about it

Right, but how do you see it happening in January? If Raz leaves, we will be a forward short and quite bloated in midfield. Do you realistically think Dortmund will sanction a move for Haaland before they have to in the summer. They seem so hell bound on us being evil that they would cut their nose to spite their face.

Actually think both cases depend on what happens in the UCL. It’s not inconceivable that Barcelona and Dortmund both don’t make the knockout rounds

Even with Dortmund’s well documented hate towards city?

Not a factor. Business

Do you think we like every club we do business with?

If his release clause starts in January (which isn’t completely clear), it doesn’t matter what Dortmund think of us or any buyer - if the clause is met, they have to put the offer to Haaland and Raiola.

The blocker to him moving in January in that scenario would be Raiola, as he knows the summer is the best time to maximise the financial package on offer to the player.

Dortmund’s opinion isn’t relevant in the event of the release clause.

I think our executives are less driven by emotion than dortmund’s.
