He goes Saudi and we know all the “lifestyle” issues were all bullshit.
If he’s going I would sooner it be there than anywhere else ,

Yes it would , What I don’t understand is he seems so happy here - again the club wants him Pep certainly does, the fans (Us ) love him . He can’t sign for a better club than City -like it was said earlier they have access to private jets can go anywhere they want , Football life is short , Tell the Mrs to wind her neck in for a couple of more years then go and semi retire in the sun
Oh and if you look at the Jack G begging him to stay video fuck me all his mates want him to stay as well

Bernardo won’t go tôSaudi Arabia at his age. He’s still looking for european football. Barca can’t afford him. The danger is PSG. Why go to the Farmers League Bernie? FFS.

Don't think Sheikh Mansour is too keen on doing business with PSG's Qatari owners.

Amazing how all these footballers grew up dreaming of playing in the Saudi league.

Just read that Bernardo and her started dating in 2020. The next summer was when he “wanted to leave”. Pathetic really. How someone can be so 100% on the pitch and a soft twat off it. Maybe that spurs him on whilst playing though? The thought of going home and being told what to do gives him that energy on the pitch.

This Saudi thing smells a lot like China a few years ago when Tevez went there. They soon realised how shit it was and bailed out.

The Arse keen on Lavia it seems. Rather he went there than the scum. No sign of interest from us. The reserve price only kicks in in 2024.

Fabrizio Romano makes the point that our 24 million reserve price in 2024 doesn’t hold valid if Southampton sell before then. We lose ‘control’ of the player then. Not clear how highly Pep/Txiki rate him. Others clearly do.

Grealish scored a worldie that match.
Watching his play then to now it’s like night and day.

Pep may rate him but so far no bid from us. Looks like he’ll go for less than the 40 million we negotiated as a reserve price for 2024. We get an add on percentage if whoever buys him sells on. So difficult to get young players right. Mostly the Club move on the right players but once in while they’re going to get it wrong. Maybe Lavia was in that category.

I think we’ve been spot on with the kids that have come through over the last 5 years. Can’t think of one mistake.
I think Lavia will be a mistake though. Not just letting him go, but whoever structured that deal is on drugs. Why put the buy back in for 2024 and not just a buy back? Silly move.
