There was a moment I thought we would get him last summer but it only lasted about 4 days, and normally I'd say it was his loss, but I have a feeling we come back in over the summer and he agrees so I'm ready for round 2 of this saga.

Which is exactly why we shouldn't buy him
United leaders, Joan Laporta kindly writes to you.
- The price is now €100M after the transfers we have all seen.
- Given the economic problems that you have and until there is a new owner, we want 80 percent of the transfer in the first payment immediately.
- And this point is the most important of all; Mr. Murtough is requested to go camping immediately to Barcelona since the other time in three months he was not able to convince the player.

Again, how exactly is not that ambitious enough? Genuine question. His team is top of Laliga by 5 points, already won a trophy and is one of the strongest teams in Europa.
So it's not like he is staying on bench just because he likes the weather ? He is playing regularly, winning trophies, paid handsomely and is at his dream club. So please enlighten me how exactly is he not ambitious?
You seem to forget you aren't the ones in a demanding position.
We're in the same cynical boat, regretting the last time we paddled like crazy after a fecking mirageGotcha! Welcome to the dark side

WHY IS THIS THREAD TRENDING
WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING?!
Barcelona is in a position to demand, they do not have the economic urgencies of last year and already then the price was €85M+.
Anyway FDJ does not want to leave Barcelona.
He’ll be gone in the summer
I doubt it but for €100M I would be delighted if he left.
You are talking about @Niemans i hope?
I’m sure you would be but you won’t get that either
x1000000.
In the thread of Barcelona is already explained the economic situation.
Nothing new that news.
In the end it will happen like last year where many here said that Barcelona would have to accept €60M and in the end it was €85M.
The club that wants to sign FDJ will have to pay that amount approximately. And more seeing what English clubs pay.
Very much doubt it. 70m tops
Wasn't it the opposite? That most credible sources stated Barcelona already had accepted our bid and was doing everything they could to push him out the club but he refused to leave?
De Jong and Bellingham are the only top drawer signings left it seems but neither are likely.
Let's hope we get new owners that can convince one of them to sign or another no brainer CM shows himself before the summer window.

He wouldn’t leave due to the wage issue and monies owed. He did not reject United nor was he opposed to the move.
I love the optimism but I really don't see how this one will happen for anything other than an exorbitant transfer fee, unless Barca are in even deeper financial trouble this summer than they were last.
They cant register Gavi and are selling Barca TV.
Just get that McAllister guy from Brighton.
People still peddling this nonsense
Got any sources? Because we can look at interviews Frenkie himself has done since the summer and it's pretty obvious he intends to stay.
Se Queda
But the transfer fee was never the issue, barca were willing to be reasonable there at least.
They were willing to be reasonable because having him gone would have helped ease their financial situation. If they don't need to do so again this summer I don't see why they'd be reasonable again.
Move on. It will be another saga and he will ask huge wages. Get Mac Allister instead.
Yeah bit by bit they are disappearing off the table and we are getting left with crumbs
Nothing convinces me he wants to leave
It almost certainly was a combination of both. He preferred to stay at Barca, but that then became a certainty to stay if Barca wouldn't pay him the money they owed him. If they had paid him that money he likely would have left when put next to everything else that was happening.People still peddling this nonsense

ETH wouldn't have kept chasing him as long as he did if FDJ straight told him he wasn't interested.
Wish these smug Barca fans would quit rubbing our noses in it about him staying,not needed when we have just seen Fernandez go to a rival
Rubbish. He never wanted to leave regardless of whether they owed him or not. They wanted him gone but he sure as hell wasn't going to be bullied to go somewhere he had no interest in going to. Good riddance. Case is twice the player.
Sure. Because Brighton are famous for letting their stars go for cheap, whilst Barca are incredible transfer negotiators.
He made the right choice annoyingly. Playing regularly and top of la liga.
Didn’t like what I saw of him at the WC at all.
I never say that.
The point is that we should sign player who wants to play for this club and hungry to come here for success. Not some player who is being forced to leave and come here for huge money. The long saga is just not worthy. We ain't got time for that.
Doubt his woman would care about us beating Barca in some EL tie.
Because barca cheated financially and madrid fecked up by selling one of their best players.
