For those who are still naive enough to think we'll buy someone. It's impossible for Deco.
No they are 100% not holding back on FFP space.Laporta will do whatever to get his signing. Last time he pulled the levers. He will repeat that if nothing else. He knows he needs to do this I think.
Is this an FM save? Won't dig into everything imaginary here as it would take too long.We are going to have to sell two saleable assets to generate funds. Frenk and Kounde are the standout candidates. That's potentially 120m incoming.
Buy Munoz ( Old right back who is a crazy Barca fan. Would dig his heels in and demand transfer. Possibly refuse to play. Potential fee for us only could be as low as 25m )
Buy Grimaldo ( Release clause is apparently as low as 15m. Great thing about him is he could play as high up as LW for us so we wouldn't have to buy another LW. Could easily do the Raph role. )
Buy Guehi. ( He's free, it's a huge market opportunity. )
Buy Schlotti ( Another one who will be cheap because of his contract, possibly 25m. )
Buy Ederson Jose ( Again relatively cheap, possibly as low as 35-40m. Huge physical presence in the middle of the park and loves a tackle. Caicedo Light. )
Buy Osihmen. ( Another one who would break his back to come here. More expensive. 60-70m, but is the standout candidate and you can't scrimp and save on your main centre forward. )
Garcia
Munoz. Guehi. Schlotti. Grimaldo
Ederson. Pedri.
Olmo/Fermin.
Lamine. Osihmen. Raph.
That team is a UCL winning level team. Net spend is around 40-50m.
Munoz and Grimaldo is very attacking at full back but wouldn't get exposed in 90 percent of games against weaker opposition. Just got to bring Balde in for the tougher games and maybe play Grimaldo ahead of him and move Raph inside.

Kounde and Frenkie would realistically bring us max 80m together.
Guehi and Schlotterbeck are both left footed. Grimaldo is 31 next year. Gala no reason to sell Osimhen.
Yeah you're right he's right footed, he's short however.Imaginary is thinking Kounde and Frenk would only fetch 80m as Jamrock has already mentioned, thinking Guehi is left footed ( he's not, he just plays left side and can easily move over ) and thinking Barca can't sign players from Galatasaray.
Grim is 31 ...... So he has 3-4 years left in him.
That team is definitely doable.
For which position would clubs be spending money on Kounde for? RB or CB? Not world class on either. He is versatile but those players don't fetch that much money. High salary too.
Frenkie had his chances to leave and it didn't happen. Don't think any clubs will be having him at top of their wish list and chase him for big amounts.
Yes but that is usually for players with potential, worse players than Kounde currently but with the hope of them becoming better, 20-24 year olds, not 27. Potential is usually what is being paid for these days, not so much current ability.50m is for decent player these days in the EPL. Kounde is way above that in any of those two positions.
