Rumours is denied, and it was that we rejected deal. It was too good to be true.
We obviously can't sell him because we can't replace his potential. But if we did sell him, I'd hope we learned from Neymar and go for LaLiga players with buyout clauses, instead of overseas options where we will be extorted.
Zubimendi, Kubo and Nico would all come to less than 200m for example (around 150m more or less).
We can't sell him because of politics, same reason we allegedly didn't sell Fati.
Club ego can't handle turning into a sellong club like we were in 20th century.
But I've no doubt in my mind he should be sold if we touch anything above 150M.
Also, we won't be able to use all that money, it will cover previous loses and allow us to go 1 for 1.
We are already getting a proper replacement in I. Diara and Messinho wants to come here (videos makes him look better potential than Lamine, stats and playing time disagree though).
