Marco Verratti

I wish this would be resolved sooner than later. Either Veratti needs to hand in a transfer request when he gets back from holiday or come out and say he's staying so our board doesn't chase him all summer. I imagine we will end up signing a RB and Dembele and we'll use the guys we've got at CM.

Price is not only about being better, Kroos was sold for only 25m. Brand value and how marketable is the player determines the right price. How much revenue does Verratti generate in comparison to Messi, Neymar, CR7 and Pogba? How influantial is Verratti on the mass and compare it to the likes of Pogba? Pogba is top 5 most marketble player in the world. Verratti don't come close to top 20.

Explain that to Nasser. Good luck.

Kroos had a year left on his contract 4 years ago. And we decided to ignore that. Our coach probably didnt like him, lol. So we ignored another bargain in the market.

Verratti being the same price as Nasser paid for Di Maria after his bad Man U season and cheaper than Higuain last summer? That will be treated as an insult.

Yes, if there is 1% chance to make the transfer, I guarantee that it will cost more than 100 M€.

Henrique will say to Verratti : "See, they consider you as a cheap Benteke :neymar: "

Its time to move on to realistic targets. Coutinho and Verratti look like desperation to me.

This is Barcelona, one of the best teams in the world, alot of players have the dream to play for a team like them. It's never easy to sign world class players because not a single team want to lose strength. That doesn't mean it's impossible. If they shouldn't try to sign them, then which kind of teams should? And the last thing they have to do is sign another average player. It's not about the market value, it's about the quality of the players. There is a reason why players stay at a team like Bilbao.

Yeah, its the Thiago Silva story all over again IMO. PSG is rich. They dislike Barca.

Top clubs dont simply sign starters from other rich clubs. Just look at the starting eleven of the top clubs. Where did the players in that starting eleven come from? Where did Varane come from? Marcelo? Ramos? Modric? De Bruyne? Lewandowski? Hazard?

They are not average players just because they came from smaller clubs.
