Doku would be interesting

He seemed to have some potential in the few games he played. It doesn't bode well for Barca if kids who have already played in the first team are looking elsewhere.
renewal offer was probably "play for messi credits."
This may be completely irrelevant, but according to TM Moriba is represented by ROGON, a German agency, that almost exclusively works for former or current Bundesliga players and a couple of low profile talents from across the world.
Edit: apparently he signed with them just a couple of weeks ago. Bayern could do with another CM I guess?

Moriba looks like one of the nearest players I've seen to a Pogba replacement; but hopefully with better defence.
To be fair, it's nothing to do with that.
From what I know the deal was signed, COVID happened - the people who bought the rights didn't want to pay as much and a protracted legal process has been on going, all the while no clubs getting the money they planned they would.
Even more reason to avoid that awful company then that has basically ruined the retail industry.
That's a shame. Hope they secured some tasty sell-on fee there.
Don't think it was due to the fact they didn't want to pay as much, otherwise they would have just forced a rebate from the league. Believe it was actually to do with their business model not working as they couldn't attract the number of subscribers to their platform they required to be commercially viable. The same company attempted to get the Italian rights for Serie A, but were turned down as Serie A asked for proof of ability to pay what was offered and they couldn't.
From what I've seen Ligue 1 have dug their own grave and I can see it getting much worse for them if Canal+ get their way in reducing the amount they must pay for their 2 games per week. There has already been mumbles of PSG would have been sold if the Qatar World Cup had of already been played, so if that happens post 2022 there could be even more of a downturn with new owners unlikely to bankroll all the top talent on PSGs roster.
The French League has probably been the most improved league of any of the bigger leagues in the last few years (Serie A has also improved significantly). It's actually one of my favourite non-English leagues to watch with many of the best young talents in world football coming through. This has nothing to do with a lack of interest from viewers, instead it is due to a botched TV deal with a Chinese media group which was badly affected by Covid. The channel then shut down and the league needed to borrow massive amounts of money to find a new TV provider. It's basically a big confusing mess where different TV providers have different percentages of games for massively unequal costs. This has led to one of the TV channels suing the League and the future is completely up in the air. This video by Tifo talks through the current situation:
Buy him! Fits the young and talented recruitment profile!
The fee has been corroborated by Sky Germany:

Official: Davide Calabria signs a new contract with AC Milan until June 30, 2025.
Summary from quickly going through the article:
- Camavinga would prefer Real or Barca, Bayern are also interested.
- United feel a deal is unlikely
- PSG may also be interested but that could be complicated by any interest in Pogba
- There's no indication that Pogba would like to move to PSG
- United have held talks to extend Pogba
- United have a long-standing interest in Camavinga, and considered bringing him in 2 years ago but went for Mejbri instead
Bayern's director Hasan Salihamidzic also commented on Süle's situation a couple of days back:

Basically, Varane's currently on vacation and has yet to make his decision. Due to the lack of commitment to any one option, all options are currently on the table (stay at Real Madrid; leave for another club this summer; leave as a free agent).
My bad. Thanks for the correction. I've heard/read so many German names recently that I've started to muddle them up in my head.It's actually really Dorsch, without the umlaut, but A for effort
Also the fishing thing is because Dorsch is cod in German.
That makes the announcement video even better, then.
Ah thanks, was probably mixing up two stories. Thanks for clarifying a few things.
Yeah, doesn't look good for them.
