Barca Transfers and Rumors

[DonAK]

Luis Diaz - Liverpool won't sell even for a high offer, unless it's a ridiculous one that we won't offer.

Rashford - Man Utd want 40-50m and won't accept a loan again according to most reports. They want to sell and get the PSR boost.

Either Deco waits it out until Late July/August to convince either Liverpool or Man Utd to change their stance, or he pivots to another option. Let's see what he does.

For Liverpool it makes sense. Why sell him to us for the rumored 30-40m we are offering. Can just as well keep him and get that money next year.

Saudi aren't going to wait for Diaz, I doubt they will even offer premium fee for him.

Right now they do that mostly for younger players or someone who is actually a star player. Diaz isn't a shinny enough toy for this. Liverpool are more likely to lose him for free in 2027 than get anything above 40M in 2026.

I think it is more about the replacement, Diaz is a solid and versatile starter there, he is on a reasonable salary. Who would you replace him for?
Players like Nico or Rodrygo aren't really significant upgrades, will earn 2 or 3 times the salary, and will cost much more in the market.

His departure from Porto to Dinamo is an odd one

Another target facilitated by agency of Barça players rather than our SD

Why do you think the agency is choosing Barca to do the business with, the moment Deco was hired?

 

[Porque]

None of them watched him, he has been there for like 3 months, and probably with the agreement to sign for us.

There is a theory for that from @Messi983



It might be very well the case, we were signing him, but agreed to pay 5M for Dinamo to go through the legal shenanigans and keep our relation

Guille for 5m to Porto makes more sense now.

It's the Deco-Porto connection as well.

And Liga NOS is a good place for midfielders to develop it seems. Competitive football + Europe.

I see Olmo first returning who is already a La Masia product, that was where the connection began for Cardoso - it wasn’t facilitated by Deco, he simply executed the deal

Culling talents from former Masia players is not a feat for a SD IMHO or renewals of current players, the trick is identifying appropriate external targets - doing so discretely but absolutely closing them

I’m still waiting

Porto are furious about the deal because Dinamo basically snuck him out the back door, not sure how Deco’s link helped there

No no was thinking about the Guille to Porto rumors.
I'm pretty sure Deco has some good relationships with the people in charge there from his time at Porto.

They wanted to pay even more for Bruno a couple of days ago.

The connection began with Faye, weeks after Deco was hired. Not Olmo.

Agents don't bring players to a club, without the SD working to establish a benefit.

You are just trying to fit everything with one narrative that you are 100% convinced with.

That is El Hilal for the Club World Cup, and Bruno is a much bigger name than Diaz, he is essentially Manu star player in the past few years. And the price was 80M. Osimhen is another big name.
