The famous Italian business agent, Mino Raiola, criticized what he said was an inappropriate way in which Barcelona dealt with the transfer of the Dutch defender and the former star Ajax Matias de Licht (20 years), before his choice of Juventus, a big deal last summer amounted to 75 million euros plus 10 million bonuses. "Barcelona treated De Licht as a piece of cheese," Raiola said. "The Catalans believed that if (the other Dutch midfielder Frankie) de Young arrived (de Licht) too," he said. Treat it like cheese. "But the reasons for wanting to bring him in were wrong: Do you think that someone like (Defender Gerard) Pique will leave a place for someone else?"
The Italian agent defended the transfer of the young defender from Ajax Amsterdam to the ranks of the "old lady" instead of Barcelona, ​​who tried to annex him, similar to the French Paris Saint-Germain, and said in an interview to the Dutch newspaper, "Football," in the Netherlands, they think Barcelona is a Dutch club, not a foreigner. They considered the move a sacred secret. ” Raiola expected a big future for the international defense, and said: «De Licht is not interested in money, he just wants to play football. Juventus wanted it a year ago. "I often talk to (Pavel Nedved, the former vice president and midfielder of the club, who is my son. He told me that this young man is more crazy than me. He can win the Golden Ball award."
