Rakitic plus £60 million for Coutinho sounds good too me . but paper talk is made for the gullible like me 😂.

I'd say it would be around the 40 mark plus rakatic as much as i love Phil i already think he's already swaying towards going to Barcelona he's lived there before and the climate better than here plus all south American players want to play for Madrid or Barcelona hopefully he stays but unfortunately we don't have the pull anymore with clubs like Madrid and Barcelona.

Eds, How often do player plus cash deals actually happen? Every time I read swap rumours, I tend to dismiss straight away.

{Ed002's Note - Not very often. You will also see the words "going the other way" but generally it refers to two separate deals. However, Both Real Madrid and Barcelona are fond of trying to do business on the basis of player/players plus cash - or even offering club an option of one out of three players plus cash in exchange. In some cases they do this as it is easier than negotiating the sale of players and in others it is simply that they don't have the money.

As an example, Real's original approach for Dybala was two players plus some cash. So you might see two deals between clubs for players but more often than not they are unrelated.}

Reckon the players being offered as a makeweight in a deal wouldn't feel very valued.

{Ed002's Note - You cannot force a player to move somewhere he doesn't want to so it is not a big deal. Certainly the two players offered as part of a deal for Dybala were open to a move to Juventus.}

Surely Barcelona would of asked the players involved before being offered. Could there be any legs to this rumour then ed? My gut feeling is that it's just media fodder again but wondered if you had heard anything?
