So he is now contradicting one of his own directors?
Got to love how he leaves off the But financial fair play forces us to sell players bit
I think Laporta is as scared of speaking the truth as he is of salad.
Who's paying for Frenkie's therapy though?
That was Alemany
Barcelona: "We don't need to sell but we want you to leave for financial reasons. Now feck off so we can buy new toys"
FDJ: "Barcelona is my dream team. Pay me the 17m you owe me you cnuts or else I'll stay here and I'll feck your transfer strategy"

Netflix should make a show
Part of me wants him to stay at Barca just to fk them over
Was it... aaaah ok then. So they can't even get the stories straight within the club. Love it haha
Social media is a joke.
This is good, when we do eventually sign him, at least he won’t be having dreams about Barca.
Bernardo wanted to play in Spain for quite a while. Barcelona and Real Madrid are by far the two most favourite football destinations for Portuguese players. Pep does not keep unhappy players.
Silva was promised a move last year if the right offer comes (same as Sterling btw).
I am waiting for the moment when Barcelona/Real will come for Bruno and he will ask us to leave. I think it is still possible to happen even if he is not the youngest. Another season like 20/21 and he will be a Ballon D'or contender
What are United doing...it cannot be worth the hassle!
ETH will get over it now that Eriksen and Martinez are signed. You can't have all the toys you want, pick another one please.

I agree this seems a very unique case. Just wanted to make sure that was clarified. We are all good here
.Even if he goes on tour, i'm still confident the deal will happen. This is all between Barca and Frenkie coming to an agreement. An agreement that Barca need.
It is worth it because this is the primary target and the player ETH wants to build his team around. I really don't mind this dragging on during pre season as Frenkie already knows the system and so won't need that much time to be integrated. The next payday loan hits Barca's accounts next week and that is likely going to be the final catalyst for them writing him a cheque to go away.
Yeah it was interesting that he essentially contradicts what Laporta just said
When this deal finally happens, I think I'll be happier for you than anyone else.
So it would be Xavi who tells De Jong I'm not taking you on tour.
Xavi is a tool for playing their games, they know he's a club legend and are taking advantage.
He's a tool because they'll dump him soon enough.

"La Liga does tell us to sell players...only to then go and sign players for more money directly afterwards" 
Bloody hell Barca.
Bloody hell Barca.
going to be a long summer for kessie, christensen and raphinha waiting on this saga to play out as they can't get registered/bought until Frenkie's wages are sorted out
Rumours say that Barcelona had issued a directive were certain players cannot use the club toilets anymore. A paid toilet had been installed within the premises for them to use. Access is 17m a pop.
FDJ had responded to such rumours that it was always his dream to crap on Laporta's desk.
Why would Xavi not take him on tour if everything was normal and he was gonna be a part of the squad next season? You don't say that about a first team player unless his status is in doubt.
I give it a couple of hours before a tweet comes out saying that FDJ is being treated like a slave OR that he doesn't want to go to Manchester United after talking to Di Maria about how is living in Manchester.
The only risk to Barca is Frenkie doing a Bogarde and sitting out his contract. He is too young for that though. If I were him and ~30 I sure would. It would be hysterical.
We are not walking out, that much is obvious and the reason why we are up the creek. It's just mental how often we ruin seasons before they even start.
Good. Haven’t seen this one yet.
Eriksen is a 10 and Martinez is a CB so no Ten Hag won't be happy because the primary problem(CENTRAL MIDFIELD) still remains a huge unsolved gap. He can't have all toys but it's imperative he gets a specialist CM capable of controlling the game
I do not get how moving Frenkie gives them the financial wiggle room to sign all of Lewandoski, Silva, Raphinha, Kessie and Christensen. Lewandoski alone should gulp up the wage gap freed by FDJ. Surely Silva and the rest are not going to play for free too?
It's not about literally using the De Jong money to pay those players. The FA will not allow them to register new signings if they don't meet certain financial criteria.
La liga wage cap, frenkie is on obscene wages like many have been since Barca lost the plot.
Yeah, we should definitely scrap our new managers entire plans and start from scratch.
Hmmm…. What time this evening will we get a tweet that kicks off the Frenkie Friday festivities?!
6:30
It’s clearly a joke
This is insane
