25million euro buyout clause. 25million. 25. Million.
Host of Huddersfield Town stadium. £29million.
I think he was only 16 when you got him from Barca for nought and he was already tipped to be a star then playing for all Spain age groups.
What goes around comes around.
You never know when they might switch alliance and play for another country bearing in mind that they are not yet called for the senior team.
Is Barca in the EU even?
