According to Cadena Ser, we offered 10 Million in loan fee and 170-80 Buyout option.
Yes, and the utter useless board is taking the piss already by chasing him but those numbers are insane. It is as if those braindead fools have not learnt anything from the Coutinho and Dembélé purchases. Why are we trying to repeat the same mistake (the chance of that happening is way too big to even gamble) with a 2 year older, much more injury prone (potentially with a chronic problem), much more controversial (his reputation has gone to shit) similarly unsettled (the same old Neymar that is behaving like a teenager while approaching 30 years, not having settled) etc. Neymar? The same Neymar that will most likely end up having a wage only second to that of Messi? Basically further strengthening the "club the amigos" clan as well?
It is beyond ridiculous. A narrow 1-0 defeat at San Mamés (one of the most difficult away games in a season against a Athletic team that has not lost at the San Mamés in almost 15 league games in a row), a stadium that we were incredibly lucky to end up drawing 0-0 last season (with Messi playing!), a short-term Suárez injury (he will be back in mid September before our fourth league game and first CL group stage game - the CL group stage is a waste of time anyway), a Messi injury (will be back on Sunday and if not the next weak against Osasuna at El Sadar) and Dembélé's injury (he will miss 4 league games at most and potentially 1 CL game).
Completely ridiculous reaction if you ask me but typical for your average football fan online. No offense but such desperation is hard to take seriously. We are still big favorites to win the league even without no sporting project in sight, the most terrible board of all the big clubs in Europe and probably the most clueless manager as well. RM is RM but it would be embarrassing to lose the league to them over the span of 38 games and Atlético is Atlético, even more so the current version which is a completely new team, almost. It would be embarrassing to lose the league regardless of what occurs. There are 37 rounds left. Not saying that us winning the league is a lock but there is a reason why we are the favorites among all bookies. Even after losing the first game.
