Need to move fast if we want him imho.
They were interested in Jan as well supposedly. Really tho Bernardo seems to want to go to Barca but after everything I just don’t see them spending another 80 mil right now. They can’t even get rid of De Jong. I just don’t see Bernardo leaving this summer.

De Jong to the chavs gives Barca money to buy Bernardo and then city buy paqueta.

They need to sort out the regurgitation of the players they’ve just bought first. I don’t think it will be quite so simple as sell De Jong then straight away buy Bernardo.

German Kicker is referencing French L´Equipe about ManCity interest in Paqueta (IF B Silva is leaving).

I think Silva will go Barca when they sell De Jong, and City will go for Paqueta and we will rue missing this signing.

I hope we get a move on.

If he thinks City is coming for him and that’s what he wants, us bidding now won’t matter. He’ll wait for them.

Well maybe, but maybe not. Barca need to sell FDJ, City need to do a deal with them for Silva, and City need to meet Lyon's asking price. That's a few hoops to jump through from Paqueta's side.

If we came in this week for example and met the asking price, I don't think it's given he waits for City. In fact I think we'd have a good chance of landing him.

Cucurella has shown that a player won't always wait around for City if another CL club come in for them.

If Paqueta waited for City and turned us down, we look elsewhere, and City then change their mind, the player would be left with nothing.

The more I think about it, the more I disagree with your take tbh. It's too simplistic. I think we could get him if we move quickly.

Any new ITK on this guy? We really can't miss out on him, he's got the potential to become a Ballon d'Or winner.
