The club should sell some of its assets, as part of the exploitation of income related to its TV rights, and therefore benefit from a few tickets to strengthen.

But not only. In recent days, the Koundé option seems to be gaining momentum. And obviously, it even progressed quite well.
Xavi pushed hard
According Esport3, the sports channel of Catalan public television, negotiations between Barça and Sevilla are already well advanced.
