Exactly my thoughts. Its the Barca Way -- he will need to make way for the next new shiny object's registration come next summer.
But Laporta will probably demand £50million for him.
Franck Kessie, anyone?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
But Laporta will probably demand £50million for him.
Hope the feckers, Arnold/Murtough sees this.
The Barca played I would have wanted is Nico. He went on loan so probably he didn't want to leave and they didn't want to sell permanently, but they need money and he's got good size and feet. Carries the ball well.
Why would Kessie be free? They’re technically signed to Barcelona and not free agents.
Barcelona are going to ask for some money if we’re interested.
Apparently there is a clause in their contracts that if they aren't registered before game 1 of the season they can leave for free.
Rabiot and Kessie already sound better than McFred. I would still add Matheus Nunes
Kessie is not fantastic at anything but a good allround midfielder. Would be surprised if he wasn`t instant upgrade on both Fred and Mctominay. Only 25 as well. Makes an awful lot of sense on a free.
Kessie certainly wouldn't be our poster boy for commercial purposes.
I don't really see the fuss with him, he's better than what we have though, but I also see Barca working out a way to keep him.
Their contracts are void if they aren’t registered before Sunday. Which is unlikely because they need to find a way to register Lewandowski, Raphinha etc that they spent lots of cash on. The freebies will be the last priority
Don't even care if he's that great, would love to sign someone Barcelona in their arrogance already announced and presented to their fans
It’s Barcelona, for all we know the real clause might be their pay gets doubled if they can’t be registered.
Nah, leave them at Barca collecting their wages and not being able to be played.
We could always sign him and loan him back, to be fair
Double all you want but their contracts can be voided. In which case they’d have to renegotiate again. They have those 2 plus another 7 or so to register. Shambles!
Going to Juve for free to replace Rabiot
If kessie (and Christensen) void the contract and we sign them on a free, can we then sell them back to Barcelona for a fee?
