of course i don’t know, but i think it’s very very likely. barca are broke, have been for a while, and do this quite a lot. they recently stopped serving breakfast to their youth team players as a cost-saving measure
nope, according to this article

they’ve just reposted it
the reason it has not been announced is due to a last-minute hitch in terms of when we take over his wages.
so nobody gets too stressed, this article states the deal has been signed. barca wanted us to pay his wages backdated to june, which seems ridiculous, and we’ve quite rightly refused
would rather sign fati for a year and wish him well when he goes back to barca, than sign kudus for a record fee and then watch him throw a tantrum when chelsea come calling next summer. every day of the week.
