This is BS to me. Great relationship with us? Overmas openly ridiculed us several times since last summer when we showed interest in getting De Jong, to the point of being hostile. He only touted the so-called "always connected" verbiage AFTER we handed him a check in the amount of 75m euros. I don't think he nudged De Jong to join us at all. It was Bartomeu's money.

Overmas is a businessman and he will rightfully look out for Ajax's interest and he will seek to maximize the fees. So the only way we get De Ligt, other than persuading the player is to come up with a fee that is comparable to other offers, if not exceeding them.

Chill man...... Barto got this :bartomeu:

Relax man. It's not the end of the World even if we don't get him.

Militão had been linked to Madrid for a couple of months before they bought him.
Plus he had a release clause which Madrid paid in the end. No negotiations there compared to Frenkie and de Ligt.

The Ajax duo are probably the most hyped talents in world at the moment. Of course it's going to take time and money to get deals done.

De ligt has been linked longer with us than Eder Militao with RM.

And, we took it to last minute to sign De Jong, Dembele & Coutinho, which mustn't be the case.

You're right that it was easier for Real Madrid into sign Eder Militao, but if we are hell bent on signing De Ligt, De ligt prefers us over others, then I don't see why it wouldn't have happened by now.

The most probable case is either we are negotiating a lesser fee, or we are still skeptical of whether he is needed or not.

Always find it funny when people think that good relations will lower the price. You think Overmars will be like 'yeah, let me lower the fee a couple millions cause Barca is so nice. Sure another team offered 5m more but I want him to go to Barcelona and prefer to screw my employer out of a couple of million because I am a fanboy of a club I played at for 2 years'

It would even be downright fraud if he did that. He gets judged based on the fees he gets. I can imagine he dreams of getting a job himself at Barca. Like they would give him a job when barca management feels like they bought MdL at a bargain price

Bartomagic if true. I was kinda neutral about him, but last couple of years he has delivered far above good. Why is it he isnt campaigning for another stint?
