Doesn't sound that great. Is there no-one better?
Marcos Llorente from Real Madrid is cheaper and a better passer. I think he fits us better than Rodri who has a slight physical edge.Doesn't sound that great. Is there no-one better?

Different type of players. If you go over on the barca forum, seem some would rather have signed Rodri, as the demand for a proper dmid is higher. I don't think it's too much of a stretch to say he too has the potential to be a generational talent. He is unique in some ways and with Pep, who knows what is possible. I personally think Gundo will be used quite a bit next season in the league, when teams sit so deep vs us... But the need and rarity of this type of player is obvious. Fernandinho doesn't do the flashy for us and has proved invaluable to our success.I can't understand how Frenkie De Jong & Rodri has the same market value ( release clause, asking price ...or call it whatever you want ) .
The first is exceptional talent, and the second is strong, tall & good player.
Maybe he is worth 70m, but I really can't see it yet.
With similar height? I don't think so.Doesn't sound that great. Is there no-one better?

Coutinho & Dembélé were signed based on what the selling club set, no one was competing with Barcelona. De Jong only wanted Barcelona as is the case with De Ligt. Each one of these players grew up dreaming of playing for Barcelona.
Alexis Sanchez turned down more money when he left Udinese when Pozzo openly complained that they couldn’t get fair market value because the player only wanted Barça
Griezmann has a buyout like Rodri, paying the fee doesn’t guarantee landing the player and in Antoine’s case he’d have to actually take a substantial pay cut to make the move happen
well by all accounts de jong met pep and wanted to join us ! fee was agreed with ajax as well and then we asked to put the transfer on ice for a bit which upset him it seems.
The only one we really need.The only true transfer target that we know of.

You honestly believe griezmann is going to take a paid cut? It's his last big payday!? Players go to Barca for the money like every other club don't kid yourself. You think messi would be hanging around if you were paying him 20k a week.
No one was competing with Barca and you STILL paid that much?
