He wont put in a transfer request.. He is due a large(ish) loyalty bonus.
The Barca media can spin it however they like.

Well that depends on who you believe, some have said he has no interest, some say he's been blown away by our interest and wants to join.Who has agreed what? All along De Jong has said he wants to stay and just fecked off on holiday. He’s been completely consistent.
We were trying to agree a fee when it was clear he wanted to 100 percent stay so the entire why would we negotiate if he doesn’t want a move falls apart.
It’s like the Di Maria meme, fans on here don’t want to hear it so memes away it’s relevancy.
It’s now the same with moving on.
I don’t blame him for not wanting to come and I have to question any established star who does.
I completely agree. It would make us look even more stupid in the market than we already do, and it would make ETH look a bit daft too, as he's desperate for him to join and must have recieved some kind of encouragement from FDJ.Well that depends on who you believe, some have said he has no interest, some say he's been blown away by our interest and wants to join.
Find it hard to believe we are going all in and continue to on someone who doesnt want to join.
If that article was written by Santi Ovalle, then no wonder it includes the piece that Frenkie wants to stay. That didn't read like new info to me in the article.This dude has been repeating the same about de Jong wanting to stay since June 11th.

It seems like the guys at Cadena Ser covered the story from Lluis Miguelsanz from earlier today and also referenced their own article from a few weeks earlier. The aggregators hence went ahead and relayed the Cadena Ser news from a few weeks earlier without providing the context.If that article was written by Santi Ovalle, then no wonder it includes the piece that Frenkie wants to stay.

Way too much for someone with his wages. A 65+15 would have been a much better balanced offer.We are offering €80m fixed + €12m add-ons.Tweet

Taken to the cleaner as usual, they make a profit on him after 3 underwhelming years whilst we can't give away our useless cnuts.We are offering €80m fixed + €12m add-ons.Tweet

Well one thing this does is forces our arm to sell players because won't be much left after this dealTaken to the cleaner as usual, they make a profit on him after 3 underwhelming years whilst we can't give away our useless cnuts.
Top class player who definitely wouldn't be available if they weren't in a financial messWay too much for someone with his wages. A 65+15 would have been a much better balanced offer.
Shame that our fanbase and ETH neutered our negotiating power...
We can't shiftt them because they are happy stinking the place out on wages they don't deserve and won't get anywhere else.Well one thing this does is forces our arm to sell players because won't be much left after this deal
No need to be cute when you're the one lacking reading comprehension. We we're talking about players of his ilk, not Rice himself.Hilarious.
Yeah, no.Taken to the cleaner as usual, they make a profit on him after 3 underwhelming years whilst we can't give away our useless cnuts.
Thank god he never signed .... Imagine him and MaguireYeah and i bet Ramos told us that he wants to come.
He played us for a new contract, simple as.
Yeah, no.
That and he really doesn't want to leave... The only reason I think he'll still end up here eventually is because Barca are literally shoving him out the door (like Madrid did with ADM a few years back).He wont put in a transfer request.. He is due a large(ish) loyalty bonus.
The Barca media can spin it however they like.
Looks like you’re right. Aggregator accounts gonna aggregate!If that article was written by Santi Ovalle, then no wonder it includes the piece that Frenkie wants to stay. That didn't read like new info to me in the article.
Yeah, that explains why the writer was not disclosed in the article.It seems like the guys at Cadena Ser covered the story from Lluis Miguelsanz from earlier today and also referenced their own article from a few weeks earlier. The aggregators hence went ahead and relayed the Cadena Ser news from a few weeks earlier without providing the context.
Careful to use correct grammar when accusing someone of lacking reading comprehension.No need to be cute when you're the one lacking reading comprehension. We we're talking about players of his ilk, not Rice himself.
Definitely worth it, just a shame we are still hamstrung by a tight budgetIf those fees are true that's a lot of money for a player who ain't worth it IMHO
120m - 150m net is in no way a “tight” budget.Definitely worth it, just a shame we are still hamstrung by a tight budget
CB or RBSounds like we're just about there on this one.just need to get Antony,Eriksen and a defender in and we might sneak into the top 4 or win the Europa league.
€92m is a lot of money for a "flop" in this current climate. Our negotiating hasn't got any better then, it seems. I'd be happy with his signing, I just hope the fee doesn't affect us getting any more incomings.We are offering €80m fixed + €12m add-ons.Tweet

I will respect your opinion for sure. Hopefully I will be wrong, anybody is better than no signing. I've just never rated De Jong that highly and a player like him in the clusterfeck that our team is... We shall seeDefinitely worth it, just a shame we are still hamstrung by a tight budget
If he ends up costing 92 million euro he will have been worth it.€92m is a lot of money for a "flop" in this current climate. Our negotiating hasn't got any better then, it seems. I'd be happy with his signing, I just hope the fee doesn't affect us getting any more incomings.
In this market and with the amount of players needed it kind of is.120m - 150m net is in no way a “tight” budget.
