    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    He is also the agent of Pjanic. It is working for him. He mastered the art of clowning tbh, and making extra money of it

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Well, I am just hoping we are cautious. I heard that Azpilicueta was the easiest deal since May or maybe even April. Now Chelsea stance is that they aren't selling, Tuchel telling him to stay. Could be a bluff, but now with less than a month we should have a plan B. Worth noting that we were...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Well, FDJ won't be issue because he will likely play ton of time in midfield. They are phasing the older ones out anyway and they have actually fairly underperformed last year. Tuchel system in midfield plays to Frenkie strength too. Azpi covering for 2 positions solve that issue too, that is...

    Marc Cucurella

    Was always my favourite LB that came out of La Masia. Always thought he was better than Grimaldo, Miranda & Balde (currently). Still don't get why he was always a thought after in Barca board and with even La Masia fanatics. Big challenge ahead of him though.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Azpi was a cover for 2 positions from my understanding, 3rd CB and back up RB The thing is, Tuchel didn't like last year squad, he wants better team and better bench. So one replacing another won't improve things that much IMO. Maybe they will, but I think keeping Azpi makes so much sense for...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Can they sign defenders though? they are getting Cucurulla for 50M fee which is huge tbh, Koloubaly already signed for huge sum, they need to get attacker, RB, CB etc. If anything, it makes no sense for them to sell Azpi, Alonso otoh they better cash on him tbh

    Frenkie de Jong

    Kante & Jorginho contracts expire, Chelsea needs to prepare for their replacement otherwise their current defense situation will be repeated

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Even before Alves, we didn't have a real good RB then. Zambrotta was solid but he really underperformed there, Billetti and Oleguer were the weak link in the team, Reiziger wasn't that good either. Probably only the year or two we had of Puyol at that position was the only good years of RB not...

    Martin Braithwaite

    Can you provide that source? Also, same site has Leganes current annual payroll as a whole at €7,880,000. Tough to imagine that few years ago they were paying 1 player 6M https://www.capology.com/club/leganes/salaries/

    Martin Braithwaite

    Iago Aspas at 2.6M while being a far better player career wise and on Martin level during that season. This should have been his market value

    Martin Braithwaite

    I explained that already. The portion is the issue. He is a guy worth 2M getting paid 6M What portion do Barca want to pay him? What portion do a Liga club wants to pay him? What portion does Martin will be ok to take as a paycut. Is the club for example willing to pay him 3M and let other...

    Martin Braithwaite

    Tax rate for foreigner in KSA is 20% from what I know. In Spain it is 45% for such high salary. I already mentioned that. For Martin to get 3 times his salary, it means getting paid around 12.375M in KSA which is double the current top earner and significant leap from the previous top earner...

    Martin Braithwaite

    Braithwaite salary = 6M Saudi league highest paid salary was Giuliano de Paula: 7M Even with less tax (45% in Spain, 20% in KSA for foreign players) I don't get how he can get 3 times the salary there?

    Martin Braithwaite

    Question is; does the club even accepts that? I think this is huge part of the problem tbf. Let me explain: People have been quoting capology for salary of player, I don't believe any site has accurate data of salaries but for ease of discussion let's assume it is accurate...

    Martin Braithwaite

    It needs to be repeated, but the report about it is about his paternal uncle company which Martin invested his football money in it. The whole worth of the company is 250m but we don't know much of it his. Don't know if Saudi club will pay more than Barca, taxes there is obviously less of an...

    Frenkie de Jong

    So basically selling him in a different format? Sure it is still great :lol: Truth is Frenkie departure seems an essential move economically. By internet simple calculations (not real accounting) we will be paying less than 80M net this summer, drastically improving the squad, reducing wage...

    Frenkie de Jong

    And amount for 15M loss of amortization on account books too. Frenkie is worth something in the market, I doubt there will be loan

    23 - Jules Kounde

    There is Malo Gusto from Lyon, his numbers is insanely good last season, especially for 18 years old. Pedro Porro too. Plenty of options in the market tbh, just about choosing the right guy
