Knew it was too good to be true
Maybe Vissel Kobe cancelled the friendly after the sale leaked?
Japanese are just really high on Pau Victor.

Joan aporta:
"Nico Williams and Luis Díaz were also options. In fact, it was Nico’s agent who approached us to propose the signing. Deco informed me about it. Initially, I was more inclined to pursue the other two targets, but I always take the sporting director’s opinion into account. Deco felt we should at least consider Nico because he's a solid winger. Talks were held, but the final demands—agent fees, payment structure, and other variables—ended up being far from the initial proposal, which signaled early on that the deal might fall through. Deco gave them a 48-hour deadline to accept our terms, and when they didn’t, we dropped it. At the same time, we kept working on the other two options, and Rashford’s deal started becoming more realistic. I also admired Luis Díaz—he’s a very complete player—but negotiating with Liverpool was tough, even though the player was keen on joining us. In the end, we secured Rashford, which was the option I liked the most." #fcblive

Waiter: "That's all well and good Joan, but I asked what you are having for Desert, The Basque Cheesecake, Rice Pudding or the Postre de Nata"
...
Waiter: "Oh, I get it, the Rice pudding it is!"
"agent fees, payment structure, and other variables"
Have to wonder what these were when it is a buyout bid.

Agent fees: agent needed a little cherry on top signing bonus
Payment structure: a big instant bonus for signing
Other variables: probably for his comfort level have to sign his bro too and rest of his family.
