I mean, I know he's a superstar at this point, but I wouldn't think he has the power to dictate on transfers. Maybe people around him, or the implication of trying to find players who fit with what he does, but I can't think you let a kid of that age run things at a club that massive.
I read the comments more related to the I want to play striker, but I also think there's some of "we don't get this right, I might think about playing in Real or elsewhere". It's not a likely situation, but I do think there's always a specter of taking another option if it comes down to it.
