Premier League giants launch €65m move for Barcelona star
The player is happy at the club, and Barcelona only plans on releasing the player from the contract if the player wants a transfer.
Not only would this deal allow Barcelona to receive a large transfer fee, but it would also remove a massive salary from their wage bill
The player is happy at the club, and Barcelona only plans on releasing the player from the contract if the player wants a transfer.
The player remains focused on Barcelona, but his long-term development and ambitions may depend on how these talks progress.
Barcelona believes the player could be the solution for the club’s midfield in the long term, which gives defensive security.
Luis Figo has sparked a rivalry with his old team ahead of the Champions League semifinal between Inter Milan and Barcelona.
Barcelona has locked in one of their brightest La Masia product by signing an 18-year-old midfielder to a contract extension.
Essentially, for now the defender is fully committed to Barcelona, and it is up to the Premier League side to weigh their options.
If the deal goes through, it will be the latest La Masia export to do well abroad – although Barcelona might yet negotiate a buy-back clause.
Meanwhile, Barcelona has a tough decision to make – while Flick rates his potential, he cannot offer him a big role next season.
The club has even made an earlier bite at the cherry with a €100 million bid to Barcelona, to test their resolve to keep their star man.
