Call me biased but I'm 100% convinced he chose us over PSG for other reasons than money (if we did even offer more). The guy has been in love with our club for years. Many on the forum are/were convinced that this doesn't mean anything in footballers careers, but I disagree.
If Frenkie does sign, I hope this will be a lesson to all of you bashing on the dude (calling him a rat, greedy and whatever) without knowing the facts. You should know better than to trust all those shitty tabloids.
Exactly. You always have to be cautious with these transfer rumors.
FDJ isn't an angel. Guy probably loves money, he's living in this capitalist era just like all of us. As I already said before, these professional players are also doing a job. A football career is short. Of course they'll give a big importance to money, for the majority of them.
FDJ won't play at Barça for free, even if he's a fan. Even if he wanted to play at Barça for free (let's pretend he's a blind fanboy, which he's not), he has agents, he has a family, a girlfriend, all these people around him who know his worth and who'll never allow him to do so.
His first priority was money probably. But as soon as Barça matched PSG's offer, money wasn't an issue cause now he had to make a choice unrelated to money and he chose Barça it seems. One thing I don't get is why did Barça agree to pay Ajax so much more money than PSG ?
We have to be reasonable: you'll see less and less those old school guys who'll ignore financial aspects just to fulfill the dream of playing for Barça. It's the sad and cold reality. Money is overtaking everything and everybody. The only loyality Barça will get is from some La Masia kids. That's why La Masia should always be the priority at this club.
