In recent hours, the Catalan media have again affirmed that the president of Barça , Joan Laporta , wishes to take advantage of his good understanding with Mino Raiola to win two of the biggest files of the next summer transfer window: Erling Haaland and Paul Pogba.
Maintain the illusion of the maintained status of Barça
Like previously analyzed by le10sport.com, all this is part of a major communication operation by the presidency of Barça aiming to maintain the illusion of its status as a giant of Europe. Because in the current situation of FC Barcelona , these two operations appear totally impossible. Financially, the Catalan club is in great difficulty. He is struggling to extend Ousmane Dembélé , unable to approach contract offers from other European clubs. According to the Catalan media, he had to rely on Xavi so that the latter himself pays part of his release clause to Al-Sadd , while this clause amounted to 5M €… Sportingly, Barça is not able to offer a real high level project in the short term, he who has just been eliminated of the Champions League. Under these conditions, it is absolutely impossible for him to be able to compete with the competition for Haaland and Pogba . Nor even simply to bear the cost of the operations.
