Every rational person knew this is how it would end with him. The man is an island built on a marketing machine. The dance is United saying they don't want or need to sell; now it's on Real to put the money on the table. I don't see any real meltdown about this. If you want to get into reddit muppetry, check the r/reddevils sub and read the muppet thread each day. They are now convinced that MDL has already signed.

this is goingto be a long summer -Griezmann in according to Atleti's owner (nice signing by them of Joao Felix, but damn at that price!) -Griezmann not necessarily in according to barca media -Neymar back? WTF? -Rakitic on the selling list but he refuses to be sold
Cillesen/Neto swap
Good to see Coutinho raise his value @ copa. But then Valverde apparently trusts him and FML.
and masia heads are FURIOUS at Kubo going to Real Madrid. Apparently on a free too? But he demanded crazy wages and an assured spot in the main squad in a year and he's good but not necessarily that good. Plus, wtf--Madrid? Ansu getting tempted to leave is more worrying to me. But Riqui Puig is still barca's and a puig-arthur-de jong midfield (holy shit, where's Alena in that?) will be best in the world in 4 years if not earlier.
Just gotta remember the most important signing (De Jong) already happened...

Shame that we won't be able to keep Tammy Abraham where he was loving his football, but I'm intrigued by his replacement, Wesley Moraes.
Jota stolen from Blues for the price of a Gary Gardner. Kortney Hause confirmed staying for a mere 3 mill. Anwar El Ghazi, one of the top performers of our playoff run, and involved in both goals at Wembley, staying. Tyrone Mings likely confirmed soon.

AWB gets $60M transfer after one season of pretty good football...this world...
Barca apparently juggling all sorts of legal/financial concerns to get Neymar back as the long-term Messi replacement. The financial ramifications of this move will be insane, especially in hindsight of recent revelations on how dire things are at La Masia, and may significantly challenge UEFA's FFP oversight ability. Coupled with Real's spending and Juve's looming turnover v payroll fiasco, this could launch the super league sooner than later.

I worry about that with how tackle heavy his style is. But he has it all in his locker and unlike Shaw zero concerns over his professionalism. Behind (imo) TAA we have at worst the 2nd best RB

Pique/lenglet/umtiti w/ Todibo for potential is fine for me. de ligt = todibo or umtiti gone and the gap isn't so huge. ----------- you think we playing chess, but i'm playing mad-making. Basaglia
Still need to sign up Mings, but I really like this purchase. Upgrades the weakest link in the back line from the playoff run, gives El Ghazi a great platform to drive the attack from the left.
