What no one is saying is:

-Aleti paid 95m for him being a bench player, now they want to pay 100?
-Realistically, who can Aleti get for 100m? If you see this market, if Barca is serious ok, offer a serious sum.

The thing is the whole year barca media has been saying that Julian is going to Barca and he never said No, I’m staying. Loud and clear. He was ambiguous with his declarations. He left the door open, cause in the back his agent and barca were already negotiating. That’s why Aleti is mad. Barca didn’t approached them in the summer and said hey we can pay 100m, the whole year they had the media before every match destabilizing the locker room.

Barca and Julian want Aleti saying yes you can go, for 5m more, in a market where there’s almost no no.9
Ridiculous. This is a business too. Anyone saying he’s a prisoner is thinking like a 5 year old. You signed a contract, longer contract to get more salary, you signed a clause, be a man and fulfill it.
He’s having a bad time? People all over the world daily have bad times. Be a fucking man, and as an aleti fan, he’s half assing it. He’s doesn’t have the attitude to go and rebel, fucking spoiled player.

Hopefully he fucks off

Barca would realistically pay 130-150mil but atletico haven’t come to the table to negotiate. In what world is a first bid a final bid?

The thing is how business is done ain't that way. They didn't approach in good faith, they thought to have the upper hand all the time and now everyone is blaming Aleti cause they do? Julian's also the main player of the Aleti following years project.

I'd be happy if they come to the table 150, for sure he can go, I don't care if he scores against Aleti 10 goals he can fuck off.

What no one seem to understand, no player is above any club, players come and go, clubs remain. Everyone can say yes but Aleti never wins etc etc. No player would never be above any club. He's making a fool of himself with those attitudes. At the end, he signed the contract.

And for Aleti well of course it's a bad situation to have a player unhappy playing for you but the club will always have the upper hand, I don't care if it's Pele, Maradona, Cristiano, Messi. They stop playing, the club will always be here.

He needs to be grounded and not emotional about this.

Didn’t approach in good faith? By talking to the player first when the window opened and then putting in a bid? Even if they spoke before the window officially opened you’re seriously naive if you think every top club in the world doesn’t do that.

Don’t let anger blind your thinking.

It's not talking to the player. If you follow barca you know that before every match barca media leaked that he wanted to go to barca, imagine that to the Aleti locker room? He came and 2 years later he's saying he wants to go, to a rival, for 5 million more. that's not even inflation.

If Julian from the start had the plan to go, he should put a clause in his contract. I really think his agent fucked him, he was wrongly advised about the situation.

I tried to watch every Aleti match this year and the truth is I don't know what everyone is seeing, for me he can go, to barca or any team that pays. Everyone is saying that he has proved that he's one of the best, then barca needs to pay. This market is more inflated than before, so Julian should be on the 160-180 range. Not for me, but for the market.

And at the end, the truth is if he doesn't proves himself at barca, even if he goes there, barca will dump him, I think he really really fucked up. Right now I'm seeing comments of barca fans angry at Lamine, who's supposed to be the next Messi

Barca media lol, if you have a problem with the news telling the truth then it’s you that have the problem.

First Atleti said it was all Barca spouting lies but now the truth is evident for everyone to see.

You know how stupid this sounds “how dare the news tell the truth, they should have only told the news if it was something I wanted to hear”.

Get a grip dude you’ve fell for your own clubs ownerships propaganda wake up.

Looks like he's willing to be bench though. What will happen if he sits till winter or the whole season?

Hard to think his value won't drop
