"Whether it's €60 million, €50 million or €40 million: if AZ set the price too high... they may end up having to settle for a lower figure."
"If AZ ask for too much money, Smit could leave for a few hundred thousand."

Barcelona is keeping an eye on Kees Smit from AZ Alkmaar, who could leave for a minimal fee if the right opportunity arises. Despite not prioritizing midfield signings, Smit's rising reputation has attracted attention from several clubs, including Real Madrid and Premier League teams. Concerns have been raised about AZ Alkmaar's potential overpricing of Smit, which could lead to a loss of control over the situation. Recent legal developments in European football may empower players like Smit to challenge their contractual situations if they feel hindered.
