That's just wrong though. Rennes gets 25% of the transfer money, so if Dortmund sell him for 100m this year, that's an additional 25m for Rennes. It would mean that Rennes sold him for 40m last season and Dortmund sold him on for 100m this year with only a 60m profit overall. Hardly an increase in his value that's worth that much drama considering his performances last season, his talent, his contract status and the fact that it's already late in the transfer window.
They've got every right to demand more than 100m and if it's true that Barca only offered 80m + 20m bonus payments or something like that, it's laughable that anyone bitches about Dortmund's demands.

Don't care for Dormtund tbh, we're not going to be in for him so I couldn't care less if he joins Barca.
Few ManUtd fans were so much concerned by PSG/City asking what if they target our players and start throwing ridiculous money. Now aren't they concerned that Barca might tap up our players and they will do what Dembele did? At least with clubs like PSG you get fair value for your players, much better than Barca who always use dirty tricks to unsettle players.
Cant believe it. We are crying out for wingers with pace and this summer has seen two of the best rated move, and we didnt go for either
I assume you're referring to Neymar and Dembele? PSG is the probably only club who could afford Neymar's buyout clause, I doubt after spending 130m already we could afford to drop 220 on someone and we're not backed by a country like PSG.
As for Dembele, he's a great player with a bright future, but we've invested into Martial and I think it would be better to nurture his talent and help him reach his potential (which is very high) than pay over 100m for the next flavour of the month. At any rate he isn't a Jose type winger and allegedly only wants Barca.
Mate we can't compete with PSG financially. We are not even close. Better get used to it.
So a 60 Million profit is nothing for a player who has played only one season in a team before selling him
. Market has really gone insane.has there ever been a barcelona fan on here who wasnt obnoxious?
Has there ever been a time when being a Barca fan around here didn't feel like being in a war zone surrounded by enemies left and right?
try being less irritating
Being a Barca fan is irritating in itself to many people it seems.
Can somewhat understand. Small club syndrome that caftards accuse abu's of takes over their brain when talking about barca/madrid.
They don't have them in Barcelona, let alone on the caf.
I can only talk about the few Barca fans I know but they all are pretty much the same as those 2.
Barca = holy, everything else is just bad and has to do everything so Barca can shine
Hey hey, @Brown Toothpick was a good lad iirc, haven't seen him for a while though.
Well players ain't getting cheaper for Barca - they might as well do it now.
WC next year so expect some further inflated numbers. On top of that it isn't unlikely that France advances deep into the tournament.

Just depressing isnt it. We scored 46 goals last season, only 20 at home, and we havent improved
We don't know that we didn't, do we? Very likely we made enquires and were told they'd rather go to far superior teams.
I suppose if a Gooner says it, they speak from experience
sick burn
Only someone from Detroit would drop an archaic term like burn but hey, you're forgiven as you are a Gooner
Dortmund should activate Suarez' release clause just to be funny.
Of course, a player has to want to leave
That's been happening for a while now, you just feel bitter now that it happens to Barca. We had to deal with that issue for years and of course clubs try to fleece Barca now
Fair enough. But then he also needs to understand that Dortmund do not wish to lose him after 12 months and play hardball
Of course he should understand Dortmund's position but put yourself in his shoes, he probably fears that they will only come once. Barcelona will purchase someone and then they will probably don't have the means to purchase him in the future.
I don't know why this always gets brought up. If Dortmund made 25% sell on agreement with Rennes then that's on Dortmund to fulfill and shouldn't be used to bolster the player's valuation. It was the same with Pogba, Juventus wanted up wards of £100m because they cut stupid 25% deal with Mino Raiola to get him in.
You can argue over talent level, age and the remaining contract length, but it's not Barca to deliver an inflated deal because Dortmund thought they were ripping of Rennes.
Not like this they haven't. It has nothing to do with Barca or Neymar. No matter the player, when you more than double the previous transfer record you're talking about something different. When you speak about a club offering about 100m. for a 20 years old player who scored 6 goals last year in Bundesliga, as in the club is trying to underpay Dortmund, it becomes comedic.
Dembele is a great talent, but all this situation only means the transfer market has been turned upside down.
He's a supreme talent, I'm sure all top clubs would love to get him. Be that now or in 2 years. And if Barca does not work out, there is still United
Of course it has. We are forced to overpay players since I can remember, and it didnt get better over the years. Clubs ask for silly money nowadays even more than ever and of course the sale of Neymar played a part in that
He's a supreme talent, I'm sure all top clubs would love to get him. Be that now or in 2 years. And if Barca does not work out, there is still United
But his priority is Barcelona. Just imagine if United came for you, you wouldn't tell yourself, "someone else will come anyway".
PSG is prepared to pay close to Neymar's sum for Mbappe. Proving it's not mainly about Neymar. This is bigger than Neymar. Neymar is just the name that has been attached to this inflation. The prices have gone up in 1 year, more than they have gone up in the previous 15 years.
It's pretty simple for me. When FFP isn't worth a dime, the transfer market will turn into chaos because you have teams who are state owned and don't care about staying profitable. This is the issue, not what has happened before, which was pretty normal compared to what is happening now.

Dembele should simply hire Mr Raiola as his agent if the move to Barcelona doesn't materialize in the next few days.
With Raiola, there is a very big chance for a move (albeit not to Barcelona, perhaps )

)What did you expect when you came in this thread and started criticising Dortmund because they wouldn't sell a player with world class potential for a price which you think is fair.
The moment you sold Neymar, it became a seller's market and Dortmund know they can get more money from you.
But if United doesnt come, I might be open to move to Barca. Anyhow, let's just see what will happen next. I'm sure Barca will come up with the money and he'll leave
The point is about overpaying for players, and of course you have to do so if you want Dembele. And since you have 200m from Neymar, clubs will fleece you even more. As I said, it's nothing new, it's happening to other clubs for years now, but this summer seems even more ridiculous than others, mainly because of Neymar and who else will follow. If you want the 2 players, you have to pay so much more than if you had bought them 1 year ago (if we wanted Pogba this year, we'd pay much more as well)
To the posters asking: Why aren't we in for Dembele? Well because of this.

Mundo Deportivo reporting the deal is very close. Barca agreed to pay 100 million euros in initial fee, add-ons now the final block(20-30 millions)
