When we get him, what do we think will be the clincher? That we've agreed to guarantee the add-ons and it's essentially a round about way of paying frenkie?
It’ll be interesting to see how the deal is structured, I expect Barca will pay what is owed and we will find some way to fudge a % payment back to Barca that doesn’t fundamentally alter our valuation. No Idea how though.
 
85m seems very high given the player and circumstances…
Sounds like a lot of add ins will be included to make up that final figure.

Wouldn't be surprised if we've offered to cover part of those deferred wages within the fee
 
I was expecting friday to be honest.

This is too soon. Kinda ruined it for me gotta say.

We need more plot twists. Nobody mentioned that Pep is a huge fan of his....where are the player switch options with Bernardo Silva.... what ever happened to Chelsea...?
 
We had to suffer through an endless barrage of shit from the press to get there, but this is finally nearing the finish line. It looks like Murtough was waiting for Barca and De Jong to be at the same place to finally call up Arnold and get this deal done. Wish it was done quicker, but Barca being a shambles is out of United's control.

I gotta say, "yes or yes" is an amazing negotiation strategy :lol:
 
it's clear barca doesnt' want him nor do they want to pay him the 17m he's owed.....he came to United and would be an immediate fan favorite just b/c of his style of playing football. he'd be the best CM we've had since Scholes and Carrick
 
€85m will surely be the total fee including add-ons ... it's what Barcelona have always asked for. The devil will be in the details of the add-ons, and looks like a compromise was found there.

either way, fecking ecstatic that there's finally some traction here. Absolute dream signing.

Premature efrenkilation
 
Hang about the only reason one might think it's advanced is because of you you cnut with your 95% BS
I really dont know what to make of that Romero. I thought he was chatting absolute BS re. Raphinha but seems he wasnt. Yet other times he just seems wrong a lot haha
 
And you didn’t hook the club up? Poor form my man! :D;)
Messi's big grin plastered on the Hard Rock Cafe next to my hotel was a constant reminder that anything is possible, so carried on drinking :)

I think we are about to find out that the add-ons have become guaranteed cash that cannot be missed, to cover one season of unpaid wages and that will get the deal done. But if he wants to go after all of the money, that can be a secondary matter for FDJ down the track.
 
Can we spare a moment for Gerard "the deal is not as advanced as you'd think" Romero as he's officially in the mud.

Its the total fee which includes the add ons. The upfront fee is about £55m.
 
United was always going to have to pay the deferred wages and I am delighted that it appears they are. I’m sure is Ten Hag happy too
 
Spanish source says FDJ doesn’t want to come and he’s staying
Caf says BS

Spanish source says Terms have been agreed
Caf says done dealio
 
I'm half expecting the player, after all this, to just say "nah, I'm alright where I am, thanks."

I won't get properly excited until I see him signing something or posing for a photo. But oh my god, if this does happen, then... :drool:
