Zapping World Eleven Cristiano Ronaldo: The record numbers
Barça leaders would have done without this news. The Blaugrana club’s finances are in poor shape, forcing Laporta to sign as cheaply as possible this summer. If Gundogan and Iñigo Martínez both arrived free, Barça is looking to cut down to save money and thus buy in the transfer window. Except that very bad news strikes the reigning Spanish champion, who will have to pay the Valencia club.
4 million euros to be paid for Neto
Indeed, according to information from Cadena SER, Barça leaders will have to pay a sum of 4 million euros to the Valencia club for their ex-keeper Norberto Neto. He had joined Catalonia in the summer of 2019 while Jasper Cillessen, already at Barça, was going the opposite way to Valencia. In addition to the 26 million euros disbursed by the Catalans, bonuses amounted to 9 million euros. The club had already paid three to its Valencian counterpart and managed to kiss the remaining amount to four million. Although the Brazilian goalkeeper terminated his contract last summer to leave for Bournemouth, an extrajudicial agreement specifies that Barça will indeed have to pay the remaining sum.
To sum up
Barca are struggling financially. The Blaugrana club, which has registered two recruits who arrived for free, is trying to slim down its workforce to have a little leeway on the transfer window. Except that the Catalan leaders will have to pay €4m to Valencia for bonuses relating to the purchase of goalkeeper Neto in 2019.
