I disagree strongly. When Barca and Real want to sign a top player, the first place they look is Premier League. I also think the physicality is slightly overstated.

I’m thinking there may be more failures than successes though ??

Of course there are inherent risks which any transfer as it is not just a case of swapping shirts but of adapting to a new culture and country

Since 1999 -

Real Madrid:
MacManaman (Success)
Anelka (Fail)
Beckham (Mixed)
Woodgate (Mixed)
Gravesen (Fail)
Ruud van Nistelrooy (Success)
Robben (Success)
Heinze (Success)
Dudek (Mixed)
Lass Diarra (Success)
Arbeloa (Sucess)
Xabi Alonso (Success)
Ronaldo (Success)
Carvalho (Success)
Modric (Success)
Bale (Success) - I am marking as success because they did win 4 CLs with him and had chances to recover his fee at points)
Courtois (too early)
Brahim Diaz (too early)

Potentially: Hazard, Pogba, Eriksen

Barca:

Overmars (fail)
Petit (fail) - all his fault, though?
Gio (Success)
Gudjohnsen (mixed)
Henry (Success imo)
Pique (Success)
Hleb (FAIL)
Mascherano (Success)
Cesc (Success) - I am marking as success because we did 1 league with him and we recovered his fee
Song (lol)
Suarez (Success)
Verm (Mixed)
Coutinho (too early/mixed/fail)

Barto told Frenkie two players will leave this coming summer.

I have to assume Rakitic may be one of them

Coutinho and Rakitic? Suarez?

Coutinho and Rakitic? Suarez?

Well, i would assume it would be two midfielders since it involves de Jong.

When he finally accepted Barca proposition over PSG, there were reports he was promised playing time with departures from some competition.

Murillo and Boateng

Reckon the Club would rather keep Busi than Rakitic at this stage.

There's a reason why Raki has been linked with moves away such as Inter while there are Crickets when it comes to Busi. I bet my ass off that Valverde will fight with the board in a desperate attempt to keep Rakitic here.

Can't wait for Valverde to come off of as a total dick when someone asks him about De Jong saying "I didn't request him" as he did with Malcom during the preseason.

has to be rakitic. he was the only rumored by the media to be enraged over the signing over FdJ, which is shocking given his all time WOAT cl knockout stage performances in recent seasons

De Ligt is supposedly demanding the same terms .. guaranteed playing time !!

I can understand that. They are young and ambitious with a decent reputation.

Warming the bench sucks. And we know how fast things can change in football. They are wise to ask for playtime.

Especially given the way Valverde works !

Pretty sure they’ve seen how Samedo , Malcom and even Vidal struggled to get playing time

FC Barcelona will sell two important players this summer, this Bartomeu has said to Frenkie.

midfielders?

Hopefully, Rakitic is one of them. I still want Vidal to be a backup but would not mind selling him.

Interesting summer.
