The thing is Rennes will likely get 20%-30% from the transfer fee, so when Barcelona pay €130M a large chunk will go to Rennes. Nobody knows how much exactly beyond the mandatory 4% youth academy product fee. That´s another reason Dortmund will aim very high.

25% and yes, this is already a known aspect to the transfer
Was always smarter to buy him over coutinho imo.
I would not be completely surprised if Mkhi goes back. Plus a Young future prospect.
I don't get that logic. Selling clubs will aim as high as they can get away with. If they think Barca will pay €150m they will demand it, no matter if a quarter of that goes to Rennes or into their own pockets.
Seeing how Mkhitaryan left Dortmund I don't think that's likely.
As I've already mentioned Kicker named Lyon's Cornet as a potential target. Jadon Sancho is supposedly also on their list, but I think that business isn't connected to Dembele's future.
They won't have the same role. Barcelona could still try for Coutinho.
They could although they could also decide to look within the Primera for a cheaper stop gap option until next summer too
I think it would be better to get in a replacement right now rather then next season. You've been linked to Serri who looks promising.
You reckon? I thought they were after more of a midfield engine like Verrati
Ridiculous price.
Yeah. Iniesta replacement whose contract expires next year.
"Where are you?"
This is getting strange
(French player who arrived at Dortmund from PSG this season)
Ahh fair enough. No better replacement arguably.
Seri wouldn't really be an Iniesta/Coutinho option but rather a deep lying CM, plus the Seri option is straightforward as fee is reasonable and player wants to come

He's actually asking Dembele where he is?
Who's contract expires next year?
'Where are you?'
Sorry, I've edited the translation into the post now.
He meant Iniesta's contract expires next year.
I defend Dortmund all the time when people call them a "stepping stone" or a "selling club" but, if they sell Dembele they have sort of accepted those labels. They beat out Bayern and PSG for one of best talents in the World and they cash in after one season? And this would probably end with them panic buying someone like Julian Brandt.
Any chance of something actually concerning going on with the player? I mean, it's easy to assume it's an attempt to force a move but what if it is not?
Bayern would disagree
Dembele on the run
It wasn't Woodward fault that Ousmane isnt coming but because Mourinho wants defensive players in all position except the no.9
Dude, what do you expect Dortmund to do when Dembele forces it? The kid didn't show up for training ffs.
Sorry, double posted.
Sport Bild's editor in chief (A. Draxler - not related to Julian afaik):
According to my information Dembele is currently in Dortmund and striking!

Going on strike should quicken things up.
If the Bild piece is true then would appear to be the case that the player is attempting to force the move, especially when you couple it with the team photo he looked miserable to be in from yesterday
It's his dream club everyone knows that, so he will push for the move now that Neymar left. The best thing for Dortmund is to get a lot of money for him, way more than his market value.
Look at how Red Bull has handled Liverpool's advances for Keita.
The pull that Real and Barcelona still have is crazy. It's like they don't even need to put effort in it anymore.
Has Keita forced it as hard as Dembele does?
According to Kicker and other various media Dembele is currently in Dortmund and streaking. To be continued...
Perhaps but as douche as Neymar is, he at least showed up for training and played. Dembouz given bad advice, either by his agent, mother or Barcelona - shouldn't be going MIA
That's rather unfortunate.
has his head well and truly turned, if they get him and courtinho they will be a formidable force going forward
Why should he go on strike, if a deal is close to be agreed?
Answer: because all the French media reporting BS all the time. Dortmund dont wanna sell, thats the reason. Another case of pathetic media reports and they are all clueless when it comes to Dortmund.
BTW what a huge piece of turd Dembele is for nit showing up at training..that could indeed force Dortmund, but I hope they play hard ball and show him no mercy and force him to stay.
