FC Barcelona wasted no time in being active on the transfer market this winter, recruiting Dani Alves and Ferran Torres. However, the latter has still not been registered with the Spanish league due to financial fair play imposed by La Liga. To remedy this, but also to prepare for the arrival of future reinforcements, Joan Laporta intends to get rid of four players.
On the pitch as behind the scenes, FC Barcelona crosses a very difficult season. In an attempt to redress a Barça in distress, Xavi activated behind the scenes by enlisting the services of Dani Alves and Ferran Torres this winter. But then, the club culé was quickly caught up by its economic problems and found itself unable to officially register the Spanish winger with the Liga . However, Xavi nonetheless shared his confidence in the smooth running of this file on Friday at a press conference: “Mateu Alemany is working to record it. There is a lot of confidence that we can save it. It depends on the salary limit and a possible exit. “Thus, Barça could use great means to achieve its ends.
Joan Laporta wants to downsize to allow the recording of Ferran Torres
Le Financial fair play imposed by the Liga obliges FC Barcelona not to exceed a certain ceiling with its payroll. While Philippe Coutinho's departure from Aston Villa should allow Barça to save around 35% of the Brazilian's salary, Joan Laporta would not count on stopping there in his big household. Indeed, according to Sport, Samuel Umtiti , Sergino Dest , Luuk de Jong and Yusuf Demir would be invited to leave the Blaugrana from this month of January. However, no departure has yet been recorded internally …
Umtiti, Dest, Demir, Luuk de Jong … Laporta must act on a case-by-case basis
According to Sport, Joan Laporta would face several major problems in the degreasing of its workforce. While Samuel Umtiti would have finally agreed to leave FC Barcelona on loan in order to gain playing time for the World Cup 2022 , the Frenchman would not be satisfied with the offers available to him at the moment. It would be the same for Luuk de Jong , who also plans to leave Catalonia on his terms. The Dutchman would refuse to join teams such as Cadiz or Fenerbahçe and would instead favor a transfer to The Netherlands in a club playing in a Coupe d ' Europe. In the case of Sergino Dest , Joan Laporta would face a wall. The American would in no case plan to leave Barça this winter despite the recent interests of Chelsea and Bayern Munich . Finally, the Catalan leaders would be advanced only in the Yusuf Demir case, since the latter's loan would simply have to be broken so that the Austrian could return to Rapid Vienna . To continue the reconstruction of FC Barcelona , Joan Laporta will therefore have to redouble his efforts this winter to succeed in his degreasing operation.
