Question is, where would Frenkie go? He will be 29 when his contract is out.
He seems comfortable in Barcelona. At most I can see a new challenge in Bayern or a pay raise in PL, but not sure which club would suit him.
Think he will renew.
At the start of 2008/09 season CR had 105 non-pen goals vs Messi's 45.
So according to you when CR stopped being a "midfielder" (which he wasn't), Messi still surpassed him.
I think he arrives with humility. He's not a star here like he once was in PL. He probably considered himself too good for both United and now recently Villa.
New culture with top players in the squad, he has no choice but to get in line and work hard to earn respect.
Imo no but same discussion was with Lenglet, that we should be able to get some cash for Liga proven player. But understand that salary is more important to shed at this point than holding out for money.
