"Barca cannot compete financially with the Reds" ... enjoyed those few words
Any shit hot young player would be mad to tie themselves to Barca long term. Fair enough if they love the club and want to keep progressing but 5 years is half a career. You'd want some ironclad exit clauses in there
He's 17 ... he'll only be 22 in 5 years time and if Barca are going to sell him on they won't wait that long.Any shit hot young player would be mad to tie themselves to Barca long term.

They’ve not been sensible for over a decade. That’s why they are in this mess.Their youngsters are amazing.
Gavi, Pedri, Nico, Fati, Ilias
If they start being sensible about signings they may soon be a force to reckon with again.
Think by the standards Mane has set in the past, he has been poor for quite sometime, and with Jota coming into the team, and now with the money spend on Luis Diaz (and no players sold) Mane for me was always going to be sold in the summer. Liverpool Fc has already said that they are willing to look at offers for Frimino so why is it that they are willing to sell Mane such a stretch...?Spanish press whipping up rumours about the latest shiny object on the football stage ...
The club has enough money to pay Salah, its how you justify the gap to the other players (that's the concern of the club)? Last summer has shown we got nothing close to what we expected players to go for, who would pay £40m for Mane?Think by the standards Mane has set in the past, he has been poor for quite sometime, and with Jota coming into the team, and now with the money spend on Luis Diaz (and no players sold) Mane for me was always going to be sold in the summer.

The Money Salah is demand a week (another 200k) could easily be found by selling Mane (His is on £200k a week) plus freeing up much needed transfer funds for the likes of Bellingham, Tchouameni., Saka, etc
And that is why I can believe this

Barca are very top heavy, and probably look to sign Adama anyway. Real have saved up for Haaland, and want Mbappe, doubt they want a 30 year old. Is he big enough draw for PSG especially at 30? Most Italian clubs are strapped for cash. Would you wanna goto Newcastle with 1 year left on your contract?Yes to a large extent your are right, but what of funds for transfers..? plus you can do both by selling Mane.
And as to the question of " who would pay £40m for Mane?" Barca, Real, PSG some Italian Clubs, and Newcastle 😉

Arsenal are stupid, he might go there?
Come summer my concerns are Bobby, Mane, Salah (if hasn't signed a new deal), Keita and Ox. These are players we could get a good wedge for but they could wind down their contracts and we get shit.
If we get Raphinha, then I would expect Mane to leave. My ideal summer window would be Djed Spence, Neves, Raphinha/Cody gakpo, and John Swift (cheap and English who is ripping it up in the championship) alongside FC's signing
He has a year left on his deal.Does Tielemans fit the profile for a Henderson replacement?
At £35m he represents good value - but I’d also wonder is something else is going there on there - is there an attitude issue?
He has a year left on his deal.
Still feels cheap.
Hasn’t he been getting a bit of stick of late - Rodgers dropped him last night after taking him off in the FA Cup defeat.
Or am I reading too much into that.
I think you are. He has been very good ahead of a leaky, make shift defense.
He's a very tidy player but I don't think he's worth that kind of investment considering how little we invest.
What's happening with Bissouma's case, the most recent update he was on bail? Moreover, why isn't he suspended from playing football until the case has been resolved?Maybe. Would we be better suited with someone like Bissouma?
We do have Fabinho to anchor, and the two other mids should offer something forward.

Aurelien?I think 35 mill may be able to buy the kid from Monaco ... better investment imo.
Aurelien?
No chance, if him. Not for 35mill
Yeah, I think Tielemans is a great player but he's more of a luxury signing now. We need someone to cover for Fabs.We got Fabs for 40 million, which was way too low ... I'm guessing it will be higher than 35 mill, but if we have a chance, would rather the money was put there than Tielemens.
