Matthijs de Ligt

Not a model I subscribe to either but it's the board I am stuck with atm

We've all been there - its far easier to sign players sometimes than to move players on that aren't working out.

Yep, Overmars extending at Ajax certainly helps in building this relationship. Seems a no brainer, clubs have long had a close link. Just curious what this partnership will entail

Update: Personal terms between player & Barcelona are in total agreement, now only to close final terms with Ajax which is already near complete

So if that report is true, that's €135m for de Jong and de Ligt. If Ajax sell Neres, Ziyech, and Tagliafico this summer they could bring in around €225m+.

Isn't that essentially what FIFA are looking at banning us for?

Surely a centre back will have to leave in order to fit this guy in right?

 

[Sir Joe Aguero]

Do not want him or have accepted Barca will get him? Because on paper, he seems a perfect CB for us. €60mil + add ons seems reasonable as well. Strange.

Ballbag,as usual,will know fuck all.....but on this occasion i hope he is correct as we don't need a centre half,especially one at that cost.

Kompany, Otamendi, Stones and Laporte

While currently Umtiti, Lenglet and Piqué. Not sure where the issue is but the other factors at play here are Piqué’s longevity and Umtiti’s knee. Lenglet was bought for depth since we had only 2 legitimate CBs

While Balague is not a credible source, this transfer appears a lock IMHO
