A very lively and complicated summer awaits FC Barcelona. Already, there is the Xavi case, to be resolved once again. Yet another turnaround, while only a few weeks ago, the coach and Joan Laporta formalized the continuity of the former midfielder. But now everything indicates that he is going to be fired, the fault of a media outing that the president would not have appreciated.
On top of that, you have to deal with a financial situation that is not far from dramatic. As revealed by the Spanish press, the club must find 100 million euros before the end of June, just to be able to comply with La Liga’s 1:1 financial fair play rule, which would allow for the Catalans to be able to use every euro that enters the club’s coffers to strengthen themselves. At the time of writing, the club cannot register any arrivals.
Farewell scenes
Obviously, we will have to make big sales to bring in money. And quick. As indicated Relevo, several players are leaving. Above all, the Spanish media did not miss a detail of the post-match, during which the players in question took photos in the stadium with their families, in what clearly seemed to be farewells. These players in question are none other than Frenkie de Jong, Raphinha and Ronald Araujo, three players with high market value and announced as serious candidates for a departure for months already. The case of the Brazilian is even more obvious, since he remained on the pitch at Montjuic for quite a long time, accompanied by his family.
He was, with Araujo, the last to leave the pitch, although he is coveted in the Premier League and in Saudi Arabia, where the Uruguayan is followed very closely by Bayern. Oriol Romeu and Marcos Alonso were also actors in scenes resembling farewells, and the two men, confined to a very secondary role, will leave the club without much doubt during the summer. The coming weeks should be full of transfer window news in Catalonia.
