I suspect the latter half of your argument would be the main sticking point to be honest. He wouldn't be the first blue turned red though. If we were the only ones bidding he might take the bait. If we were against Chelsea I'm sure he'd take Chelsea.
I think you'll find that the first part of the argument is why he's leaving us mate.

Ruffled a few of the wrong feathers by all accounts.

Now the poker around Ousmane Dembélé (20) becomes serious!
As SPORT BILD learned, FC Barcelona leaders have now set off for Dortmund. Barça wants to oblige BVB -Juwel Dembélé as successor to Neymar and sends his most important men to the Ruhr area.

That i read with amusment
 
Barkley wants out of the City, so that won't happen, ignoring the fact that he's a local Blue and he'd be strung up for it.
I don't think he's feeling very blue at the moment. I've always rated him as you know but he's at a point in his career where he will go one way or the other and it would be an unpredictable signing and we don't need that.
I can't see past Rafinha, he's available and is the right age. Barca would also jump at the chance of reducing the transfer fee and their wage bill all in one go.

£100M plus Rafinha would be a great deal.

Sources I've read is he doesn't get along with Koeman. Other excuses could be being political with his current club. I'm sure a lucrative enough contract and he'd be happy to stay in the city.

For me he wouldn't be a replacement for Coutinho but competition for Lala.

He's been offered over £100k a week, it's not about money.

Koeman didn't blow smoke up his hoop so there might be something in that.

But it's the fact that he feels he needs to get out of the City that's driving the move. He's had his collar felt by local *cough* businessmen.
