Not interested in 12 months .
Yeah it's easy to say that when you're upset he's not coming now.
When he signs a precontract in January 2021 having already scored 30 goals and 20 assists in 20/21 so far you won't be so sad.
We don't know the legal position. It might be that La Liga and Barcelona is right, and they can demand €700m and refuse to negotiate. Fuck, it might even be City who have said "sorry, if you can't get out if the contract for free, we can't do it".
He wants to leave, you don't go through all this otherwise.
