    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    25M is too much for us to pay for a backup, even if great value for money. And he himself will never be an option for us, he is ROGON client. We won't deal with those again, and they won't deal with us

    New goalkeeper?

    That is the point, I think we are losing faith in Ter Stegen staying healthy or coming back from 100%. Not that we are phasing him out but the club realized they can't go for a Pena as backup anymore, and it is also clearer that there isn't a homegrown GK that they have 100% faith in. Maybe...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Halaand already got that massive first contract, unlike Mpabbe, this was already confirmed by BVB before. City is also under the microscope from EPL, unlike PSG who owned the league. Also, Halaand is just 10 months or so younger than Mbappe, he won't have the same luxury to wait. It is also...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    tbf, this was the same case with Mbappe at PSG and he still left. Halaand has the advantage of EPL prestige, and being already a CL winner with them. OTOH, he had those and still failed to win either Ballon or even the best, so it could be clearer that he needs a move. I am not saying I...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    I think everyone would prefer a backup that can compete with the starters, for sure. But how much they cost? Those will be 25M+ It is easy to claim there are affordable hidden gems elsewhere, and usually there are, but truth is failure rate at those deals are extremely high.

    New goalkeeper?

    That isn't true though. Take a look at Chelsea, they are on their way to have a dozen of GK and they keep scouting and getting more, loan some and keep others with no playing time. 4 GK in their squad and 7 on loans beside those who were bought for next year. Joan Garcia gave his ok to Arsenal...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    We don't need more than a backup at this point, reliability is more needed than upside. The team has plenty of young players with upside, to the point that more veterans or players in their prime are needed. And signing a player with potential to be backup rarely works, they need time to develop...

    David Alaba

    CWC is going to be a big deal for most fans outside Europe. If there is a push against more games, it should come from UEFA and then local leagues tbh.

    Sergiño Dest

    There is an argument that Xavi made the promise before the levers, so he expected that he will have to use him. After that he was told we can get Kounde so he told Dest to fuck off. He could have more diplomatic from the start, but well, he know how it feels now for sure.

    15 - Andreas Christensen

    That isn't going to happen. Chelsea didn't get good offers for him when he was 25, and injury prone. We won't get offers for him when he is 29 and more injury prone. Maybe from Saudi, but I doubt ne will accept those.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    A lot depends on if we want him, and if the player want us. With 2 more years in contract you can always pressure his club and the new management to sell him rather than risk him being a player with one year left in contract. There is also the Florentino Luis case, a player who gained value in...

    New goalkeeper?

    He has been long linked to Manu, and he rejected them. I doubt he will come here with no promise of being a starter, he could have achieved that in summer of 2023 with Manu

    You have answered your question, and this is why there was "if" in the original post.

    If we are still in the market for CDM next summer, then Dário Essugo is worth following, good talent for Las Palmas. https://www.transfermarkt.com/dario-essugo/profil/spieler/670717

    New goalkeeper?

    He is surely worth following, noticed him during last game and was surprised how young he is. No idea if he is the real deal or not tbh https://fbref.com/en/players/c7c50cb5/scout/365_m1/Kaua-Santos-Scouting-Report Very late edit: He has elite numbers in shot saving. And this crossing...

    New goalkeeper?

    - Diogo Costa: Mendes is his agent, it is normal to track him but Porto demands are massive, very unlikely. - Joan García: Espanyol won't negotiate with us, he is Catalan though, youth product of FC Damn. He has 30M release clause that increases to 35M if he plays for Spain, did Espanyol put...

    Just realised he had a trial in Barcelona back in 2016.

    New goalkeeper?

    I don't rate him high, and I share the sentiment of wanting a taller GK. But deal breaker for me is his price tag. And that is likely a deal breaker for the club, too.
