El Only has happened in just two weeks of living in red numbers and apocalyptic to be the third club in Europe that spends the most money on transfers. All thanks to the famous economic levers of The door, which has achieved the necessary liquidity to be able to go to the market and compete for signings with the big ones. Another thing will be how he manages to register the additions to LaLiga, inflexible with financial fair play, and what happens in the future, since Bara is selling part of his assets to obtain this money that is being spent on players. But the signings, although not registered, are already in Can Bara. Until August 31 there is time.
Barcelona has already signed Kessie, Christensen, Dembl, Rapinha y Lewandowski. The first three arrived free, the second at the stroke of a checkbook. The Brazilian cost 55 million, which can be 65 with the bonuses. The Pole, 45+5. That is to say, Barcelona has already left 100 million euros in transfers, which can rise to 115.
Laporta and Lewandowski: “We are working to achieve a competitive team”
With the 100 kilos spent, Bara is already the third team that has spent the most in all of Europe. City, with 108 million, tops the list after the additions of Erling Haaland (60) and Kalvin Phillips (48). Pep’s team, yes, this year has been fine with sales and has entered 120 million, so the balance is positive.
The second team that has spent the most is Leeds, who have spent 105 million on six players: Brenden Aaronson (33), Luis Sinisterra (28), Tyler Admas (17), Rasmus Kristensen (13), Marc Roca (12) and Darko Gyabi (6) They are the footballers who have reached Ellan Road, where they have entered for 106. Also positive balance, with the sale of Raphinha as the best move.
Dembl: “Staying has always been my first option”
Bara has to sell
Barcelona appears in third position with 100 million (115 if the bonuses are fulfilled), but they still have to improve in terms of sales. For now, it has only earned 22.5 million from sales of Coutinho (20) and King Manaj (2.5),to which must be added 3 kilos for the transfer fee from Trincao to Sporting de Portugal.
Barcelona is still waiting for De Jong to agree to go to Manchester United in order to enter 75 million euros from the transfer, but as long as the Barça player does not agree to leave the Camp Nou, that vital money (in addition to the release of the file) will not reach Can Bara . The pressure will be maximum for the Dutch. And it is that Bara does not have many more assets in the squad to sell at a good price.
To the rhythm of the Premier
Haaland surprises dancing in his presentation with City
Barcelona is signing at the rate of the Premier, the only league where it seems that there is no crisis. After the 100 million euros spent by the Barça team, the Chelsea (97), Arsenal (94) and Tottenham (87).
Borussia, Liverpool, Real Madrid y PSG They close the top ten of a list in which many raise their hands to their heads to see Barcelona in third position. Madrid, for example, which enjoys good economic health, has spent 80 million euros in a single player (Tchouameni), signing Rdiger free.
At Barcelona, however, they say that the only way to return to the sporting and economic elite is by reinforcing the team. And it is that Laporta understands that only by winning again, Barcelona will be able to increase their income considerably and clean up some accounts that, despite what these signings may say, are very affected. So the 100 million euros can be raised to almost 200 counting the possible arrival of Kound and some other surprises.
