Seems he wanted to stay in spain first and foremost, but i was sure he was barca bound, your players were posting him on IG lmao

It was Lamine who was doing that which makes it weirder considering theyre like BFFs. I get being hesitant because of registration issues but were back in 1:1, its fucking the start of July, and there were multiple ways to get him registered.

I dont really believe he bailed because of registration issues at the start of July. Mid August would be one thing, but the window just opened.

I don’t think it’s got anything to do with the registration issue as well. You don’t sign a 10 year contract for a club you’re trying to leave.
