Barcelona or PSG will buy him and he'll flop most likely because of the pressure (look at Couthino, he's now apparently off to Arsenal after flopping at Barcelona and being loaned to Bayern) and also the team isn't developed for him or his style where as at Liverpool, it is.
Large clubs have people who buy the players who don't actually know about football, they buy players with talent and expect instant results, that's not how it works at all. They wonder then how it works for the likes of Dortmund and such, but that's because they develop a team and a squad, not just hoover up all the players and hope ones a gem.
Apparently Barcelona rejected Alphonso Davies before he went to Bayern because he was Canadian. What's the betting they try and sign him now after he tore them a new one
