AlimOzturk Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 (edited) Apparently activated clause to leave Barcelona on a free transfer. Can only see one club able to afford his wages and having the manager there to make him want to sign and that is Manchester City.

rudi must stay Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Absolutely amazing. I don't think it's as simple as he goes to Man City, he has the pick of Europe's top teams. The Inter Milan rumour doesn't seem to be going away either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HMFC01 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 (edited) Ok, a list of clubs. Man City obvious. PSG will try their hand, they want to win CL, Neymar was reported as wanting to go back to Barcelona before. Would be funny to see Ronaldo and Messi in the same team, not sure Juventus could afford it. Plenty other top English sides could afford, not sure what manager he'd opt to work under. The MLS is lucrative enough he could end up there at the top sides. Beckham was quoted about wanting players like Ronaldo and Messi at Inter Miami. China, I think he still has something to offer elsewhere, but he might be short of a few million. Arab leagues as well are fairly rich, they might chase him. Even the Russian club might fancy their chances. I am going to say Man City for 3 years then Inter Miami after it.

AlimOzturk Posted August 25, 2020 Author Share Posted August 25, 2020 FWIW this transfer will make him the richest player ever to play the game IMO. THE amount of money he will be getting offered will be more than ridiculously expensive than usual. Talking about arguably the best player ever on a free transfer. Even at 33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Internet Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Not really sure what I want from this. I mean he's still good enough to obliterate the epl especially at a team like City but at the same time he's 33 and there's every chance he won't have the impact many would expect. Kind of want him to go somewhere like dortmund. Just anywhere except the mls or China or places like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
