    FC Barcelona Finances

    Yeah, financially Bartomeu actually had a plan and it was viable one theoretically but needed everything to continue as it which didn't happen, and it lacked sporting vision/understanding. He surrounded himself with guys like Abidal and Fernandez who weren't good enough. To his credit, he...

    FC Barcelona Finances

    Laporta did it for sure, but it was reasonable in comparison to other clubs when you factor success. Not perfect but you can get the logic, and he left a young team in football, and European champions in Basketball. IIRC We were never the biggest wage bill in the world under him. The only...

    Xavi Hernández

    There is a rumour that Deco is gaining final say in transfers now. He and Xavi are obviously friends and have understanding but it seems the normal hierarchy is restored

    FC Barcelona Finances

    Will leave this here and in Basketball section. https://as.com/baloncesto/acb/mirotic-no-perdona-nada-n/ Mirotuc is on 11M Euros per year for 2 years, and refusing to leave any money. Which kills the plan for Basketball salary reduction. Edit: We offered him solutions that will get him even...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    They need money as they suffered loses, so they need to balance the books. Kessie serves nothing for them in that regard. 23M for Brozovic is apparently 22.5M profit for them on books in addition to saving his wages.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Could be, or it could be he is using Barca interest to extract more money from them. "You want to beat FC fuckin Barcelona to signing me, show me more money 💰 "

    Arnau Tenas

    Club had 2 years option they didn't pick, confirmed by Tenas himself. I am going to make assumptions here, but many of those options are linked to getting promoted at certain time and getting paid as 1st team player. If the club didn't see him as 1st team player (which is accurate) and he...

    Kylian Muppet

    He should, but he won't. That is the thing, he doesn't want to play the position, Mbappe has been known to prefer the LW exclusively for few seasons now.

    Arda Güler

    His dad wants 18-20M commision as sign-in fee, in addition to his 17M release clause. Seems many clubs like Ajax are out of the race due to such demands

    İlkay Gündoğan

    As good as he is, which is really good, he isn't joining us to build our midfield around him. Heck he isn't even sure starter if we buy a CDM like Brozovic (even if he gets starter minutes). This gives leeway for us, it allows him to be a big part of the rotation, bring in experience and...

    Kylian Muppet

    Mpabbe ain't playing on the right, even in 2018 he was playing as second striker behind Giroud, with Griezmann as a playmaker, Griezmann actually shifted more to right and Mbappe to the left. In Monaco he was a prospect, in last 5 years he barely played there. He will not join a team to play...

    Arnau Tenas

    Ander Astralaga and Nil Ruiz will be the GK, unless we move on from Nil and buy a new GK but I doubt it. I am more worried about Pena staying for long with no one to take over from him tbh

    Kylian Muppet

    Mbappe is better at 9 though, but he just have zero interest to play there. Both Being LW will create issues, and won't be surprised if it forces RM to sell Vinicius to City or Manu within 2 years of Mpabbe arrival. They are just bad fit together

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    What? They have had the strongest league in middle east and one of the biggest fanbase here too, way too many passionate fans. Only Egyptian league was rivaling them, and that was when fans here were actually able to attend games. Now Saudi league have many fans from other countries in the...

    10M net if there is no signing/agent bonus is actually good deal. RM just paid Bellingham 30M signing bonus, that is 5M per year on accounting and he wasn't free agent. Lewandowski also got a big signing bonus and agent fees even with 45M paid to Bayern at his age. This is why the whole capology...
