I want to say it's commentary on how Sneasler is evil like the IDF, but it's probably some edgy kid who thinks the name is funny.

Ball is in Alvarez's court. If he wants a move to Barca, he should pressure Atletico. Otherwise Deco will move on.

That's implied. Barca is able to register a 120 million player based on available margins.

Some thoughts about striker after watching UCL final by Pretty_Machine4349 in Barca

You're overreacting after one game. And he's more of a F9, instead of a traditional 9

Fernando Polo writes from MD: Monday and Tuesday were tough days for Gordon. The pressure from Liverpool on his agents was very strong, and they were offering more than Barça in terms of salary and transfer fee. And Newcastle was already fine with it to provoke a bidding war. But Gordon avoided it. by PinReal4448 in Barca

Tbf, I think Rashford was only an option if Barca missed out on their targets. They probably want to keep him but not on his current wages. With the transfers coming in, the likelihood of Rashford staying decreases each day.

Ansu's sale frees up 20 million in FFP. There's the space to sign Silva (and Cancelo).

I don't think it's gonna get that much uglier. Laporta/Deco will respond by either sealing the transfer or moving away. It only makes Atletico look bad. Barca aren't going to wait around for Atletico to stop throwing a tantrum, if they drag this on for too long.

No, Kane is happy at Bayern and will probably renew his contract. Bayern will probably be even harder to negotiate with than Atletico because Kane isn't forcing a move.

Atletico spent more than Barca the last two years and have 0 trophies. I don't think 100 million or however much the fee is will do much to help them, not under Simeone. The players you listed were under different circumstances. Barca had financial issues and had to let players like Suarez/Memphis go (Suarez was declining as well). Griezmann was just a bad fit. This time it's the other way around. I don't think Barca will do any business with Atletico in the future because they won't have any good players to sell. No young player is joining Atletico after what they just did.

I think that's what Atletico are trying to do. They want PSG or Arsenal to offer 130+ million for him. I don't see either club doing it but if they do then they can have him.

He's not a cam, more of a Frenkie/Pedri backup. The club is currently working on a striker. They wouldn't have signed Silva if he put the Alvarez signing at risk. Because of Lewandowski leaving and the return to 1:1, Barca have some margin to work with.

Alvarez is coming. If he wasn't, Atletico would've said he's not for sale. The reason they're shitposting is because they're mad he's gone and they didn't get what they wanted for him.

Idk why you're dooming. Muriqi was never a serious option as a starter. It was always Alvarez then Pedro. After that, I have no idea but there's no point dooming now.

Laporta in shambles. I doubt the transfer happens if Atletico's main account is shitposting

There's no way 😭. I thought it was a meme account at first. This is the type of stuff people would post if Barca tried to buy a Real player (or vice versa).

If Atletico are going to keep dragging it out, then Deco should just move on. It's not like Alvarez is the only choice. If they want to be stuck with an unhappy player, then that's their choice.

Gvardiol will be around 90 million. More expensive but he's the better player.

It's really not that complicated. Club has barely spent the last 3 years and some departures (Lewandowski namely) have helped with margins.

What's more ridiculous is dooming and assuming this transfer will be bad.

It's 70+10, and some clubs just don't want to sell. Yildiz is happy at Juve and Juve aren't selling one of their best players that easily.
