ac milan was in financial shambles, hence the package deal.

i was pretty sure he was coming to barcelona, i thought after 3 years of no centrebacks, perhaps they'd land who i thought was the best CB in global football.

also, his agent contacted barcelona two weeks ago and put them on notice. problem is PSG is expecting a PSG-level transfer fee (see: why i was sort of hoping the neymar thing wouldnt happen)
