Can't believe we didn't have Gatwick camped out for any club official/doctor/someone going over there in a reverse to the usual flight tracker stuff. Someone even a minder or player liason must be headed out to the Argie U23's training camp no? What a job that would be!
If is the release clause then he and his agent are the ones to pay the fee to Boca. We would only give it to them if he's agreed terms! You won't get 8 different clubs all sending the money to them, him paying one lot across and then debating who to go with before returning it to the other unlucky teams.
Pervis is shirley not going to a chelsea or a spurs unless he runs down his contract to a year. Citeh, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern and maybe PSG seems the list who he's right for. Best left back in the prem potentially.
Just remember (granted under Potter who did a lot of this kind of thing where-as RDZ seems to find a better balance of when to) Cucurella was signed as about the most attacking full back in world football but ended up playing left back or left cb when the world assumed he's be a left winger like Bale. Could well see Barco one side and much more defensive Veltman the other in a back four. Unlikely to play there if Gross or Hinshelwood is the RB though.

In fairness, as he had a release clause, they could hav ejust signed him, if they had wanted to.‘Allowing‘
Clearly they didn't.
I suspect it has more to do with the ownership complications, which we are well versed in now.

That's not how release clauses work.
The player and agent still have to sign a contract. If he didn't want to go to Man City because of lack of guaranteed playing time, didn't fancy an immediate championship loan etc... Then they wouldn't sign. Regardless of how much Man City bid

There were several reports that City and Barco had agreed a deal in principle, earlier in the year.
If those reports were true, all that was required was for city to make the necessary bid.
Surely the player still has to agree to it? I would be shocked if proved wrong.
Correct
If he takes her somewhere she finds more conventional and diligently pays attention to her there for long enough she may suprise him and offer to be taken up the amex.

Yes - but reports said that a deal was agreed - so personal terms were acceptable, just pending a City bid, which never happened.
I really hope you are right. That means the club consider him first team ready. He certainly won’t be going on loan,
Plenty of bite about him."A little... red-headed flea."

Just be grateful for their benevolence , any player in the world should be grateful to have the chance to join that bastion of sporting integrity.

Why Man City didn't sign him.....
The arrogance of the writer is breathtaking.
“the Citizens can afford to wait and see how Barco performs in England with Brighton before deciding whether to make a move for the South American wonderkid in future.”

True up to a point...
That point being when/if they get hit with a massive points deduction/transfer embargo for multiple breaches of FFP etc.
They might end up wishing they had a SA wunderkid on the books when they are attempting to get promoted from league 2.
