He was close but chose to stay in Paris….. his loss
PSG
Well, at that time he had to choose between PSG or Bartomeu’s Barcelona, neither of them was a good project but the French paid more.
If it were now, I have no doubt that Laporta, Deco and Xavi’s project would have convinced the Italian as they have convinced Gundogan.
That’s why Cruiff said that the project must come before everything, even the players. Because in a time of financial downturn you can still bring in a top player.
Was built for our system. Curse NAK, the worst thing to happen to football.
The PSG owners blocked it
Le money.
Remember his gunpoint video of him wanting to stay at PSG?
I don’t know the credibility of this but I vaguely remember his ex agent coming out and saying his move to Barca broke down out of fear of what PSG would do to him. If anyone can link to more info on this then please do.
