As FC Barcelona go through an unprecedented crisis, Joan Laporta spoke about the fast approaching winter transfer window.
Upon his arrival, Xavi clearly explained that he wanted to strengthen his workforce to bring FC Barcelona to the top, in Spain and in Europe. Thus, the names of Ferran Torres, Timo Werner, Hakim Ziyech d ’ Adnan Januzaj are mentioned to join Barça during the month of January. But how do you go about recruiting when the club's coffers are empty? Above all, we must not forget that the leaders have to face a very delicate file with Ousmane Dembélé, whose contract ends next June and which has not yet been extended.
“We need to strengthen the first team, but there are high contracts and that we have inherited, which do not give us a salary margin”
A few weeks before the opening of the winter transfer window, Joan Laporta posted a video on his Twitter account this Friday, in order to express himself on the difficulties that FC Barcelona are currently encountering. “We have to strengthen the first team, but there are high contracts and that we have inherited, which do not give us a salary margin” declared the president of Barça. “We are looking for the formula to improve equipment in this market ”. AS explained in particular that everything should depend on the sale of certain players, such as Samuel Umtiti or Philippe Coutinho.
