How can he say he likes it when people get excited when Barca come calling but don't accept a deal.. That makes no sense. Clearly they wern't that excited then 🤡

I think it’s because FDJ has a lucrative sideline going in Barcelona as a Macaulay Culkin lookalike.
Good gig

Not everyone can play in the premier league I think Manchester United should leave him, he might flop at Manchester United I can see his reason

Very Political answer, meaning he said nothing. He never answered the question as to Why Frenkie didn't leave Barca this summer. What he did was state how transfers generally work. It takes three to agree and sometimes it's one or two or all three that don't agree. That's not an answer that's an explanation of a process. De Jong didn't leave Barca because he didn't want to leave ,that's a fact. He said it many times. One question that wasn't asked was…. if, as Cruyff states, it takes three to agree, why did Barca agree to sell the player. The whole thing didn't pass the smell test. Barca agree to sell the player with another club, when that didn't happen they insisted the player had to take a pay cut if he was to stay. The player then insisted he was not going to take any cut in pay. Now everyone seems happy. Another question I would like to know is this…..is DeJong getting his full salary this year or did he take a pay cut as Barca stated he had to do.

This was such a puff piece for barca, interviewer didn't even touch on the fact he wanted to cut the pay of most of Barcelona's star players and was readily selling players due to liquidation issues.

When something doesnt happen 1/3, 2/3 or 3/3 it just doesn't gel together.

It's good see Barca with a proper and working structure that allows them to make decisions in the best interest of the club

Just goes to show. Barcelona talk to players not the clubs. Breaking rules again.

Cannot believe Joe Cole is now Barca's Sporting Director???

Cover it up all you can, but the only reason FDJ never left is FDJ himself. Barca should be thoroughly embarrassed with their conduct of actively hounding out players this past summer, instead of being proud of their "economic levers" i.e. selling out their future

English premier league is tough fast , and hard, many players don't want to move there.

I can’t imagine Jordi would push Frenkie to United either. Especially with his disappointing four years at United.
