Sure, but like I said - they only came out €40m ahead with the Neymar sale and if they pay more bonuses to BvB they'll be lucky to break even. That plus Coutinho sale plus all the non-transfer stuff they've gotta pay for - the money just isn't there for two mega-transfers.

Fortunatelly Jupp wont use him so much (james and javi ) this year.

As a side note, if I am constant in what I am thinking doesnt mean I have something with him.
I still belive what I said 1year go 1month ago or now about him. He lacks few thinks that are essential for his role.

Barcelona sold ~€230m worth last summer and have already spent ~€190m. That does not include a reported up to €50m in bonus payments for Dembele...so even if they don't pay BvB another cent they only came out €40m ahead. Granted that won't make up their entire transfer budget but in speaking to my friends who are Barca fans they are quite convinced the current financial situation isn't great there. Could they afford €100m on Thiago? Probably, but I'm not 100% sure right now. Many are beginning to question whether or not they can responsibly afford to purchase Coutinho (who seems to have been their priority for months now). If they spend €100m+ on Coutinho I don't think they'll have any business making an offer on Thiago. Not to mention they're now in the process of building a new basketball arena as well as a new youth football stadium (new basketball arena is going on site of old football stadium). And depending on who you listen to they may be wanting to go after Griezmann as well. All that to say - while I don't think your idea is entirely off - I just don't see it happening any time soon.
