Who knows, I think we tried hard for him last summer and there were some links very early in the window and it was reported he wanted to move to R.Madrid because his idol Xabi Alonso is supposedly going to become their coach next summer. From then on it has been very quiet around him, to be fair other clubs like Bayern and Barca were supposedly interested and nothing happened there either. Barca have been interested in for a long time, Xavi was a big fan of him.
Still think we should make a hard push for Frenkie, he's always been my No.1 choice. What is going to be interesting now is whether Sociedad will be happy losing Merino and Zubimendi in the same window....
