Of course there are inherent risks which any transfer as it is not just a case of swapping shirts but of adapting to a new culture and country
Since 1999 -
Real Madrid:
MacManaman (Success)
Anelka (Fail)
Beckham (Mixed)
Woodgate (Mixed)
Gravesen (Fail)
Ruud van Nistelrooy (Success)
Robben (Success)
Heinze (Success)
Dudek (Mixed)
Lass Diarra (Success)
Arbeloa (Sucess)
Xabi Alonso (Success)
Ronaldo (Success)
Carvalho (Success)
Modric (Success)
Bale (Success) - I am marking as success because they did win 4 CLs with him and had chances to recover his fee at points)
Courtois (too early)
Brahim Diaz (too early)
Potentially: Hazard, Pogba, Eriksen
Barca:
Overmars (fail)
Petit (fail) - all his fault, though?
Gio (Success)
Gudjohnsen (mixed)
Henry (Success imo)
Pique (Success)
Hleb (FAIL)
Mascherano (Success)
Cesc (Success) - I am marking as success because we did 1 league with him and we recovered his fee

Suarez (Success)
Verm (Mixed)
Coutinho (too early/mixed/fail)

Coutinho and Rakitic? Suarez?
Well, i would assume it would be two midfielders since it involves de Jong.
When he finally accepted Barca proposition over PSG, there were reports he was promised playing time with departures from some competition.

Reckon the Club would rather keep Busi than Rakitic at this stage.
There's a reason why Raki has been linked with moves away such as Inter while there are Crickets when it comes to Busi. I bet my ass off that Valverde will fight with the board in a desperate attempt to keep Rakitic here.
Can't wait for Valverde to come off of as a total dick when someone asks him about De Jong saying "I didn't request him" as he did with Malcom during the preseason.

De Ligt is supposedly demanding the same terms .. guaranteed playing time !!
Especially given the way Valverde works !
Pretty sure they’ve seen how Samedo , Malcom and even Vidal struggled to get playing time
