Wait what. His contract ended and the club told him to look for other offers as he's not a priority. How is this hanging him out to dry.
Don't be so sure. He is training at the sports complex today. Hoping to conveniently cross paths with Laporta in the buffet queue at 15:48 now that the Libero deal is sorted and say hi.

2030 is a bit too long for me, but the upside is, we won't have to renegotiate his currently salary, for another 4 years, by which time, he'll probably be on his way out the club.

I don't think it's a big deal tbh. Gives the club a lot of leverage.
If he's as good as they hope they don't have to renegotiate for another four years as you said and when he's 30/31 and has a year or two left they can keep waiting and offer 1-year deals as they should at that point.
Or sell him lol.

Haha like you claiming Laport got rid of Suarez... or that 'Barca had to pull levers or sell players to pay down loans'.
Go on say it... I WAS WRONG and had no clue what was being discussed.

I read on Twitter and stuff, that board said said since they don't have the money hence he should be looking for offers. There was no guarantee given, the guy waited till Aug to see if our finances gets sorted or not.
I am not saying we should have kept him, but I do not like how we treat some of our important players (won't say Legends but the guy did play for us for a long time and played a very crucial role too).
It just doesn't sit straight with me.
Here is a quote from Andresito's post in Sergi's thread. July 2nd
It would have been fine if he left, but we didn't even do any kinda celebration or anything even on Social media.
You tell me. You dedicated at least two decades of your career to a team. You were part of one the most memorable moments of the team that decade. You played everywhere wherever they needed you. Ya maybe you weren't the best, but you did what you could. You were the captain.
And that team couldn't even post a send-off for you. And gave your Jersey number to a new player without even doing that.
Is that how a team should treat their captain and one of their Legend/Not-so-Legend?

Isn't it like 25m ish per year, when using amortization + salary?
Think it's ok. Its good enough for a player of his caliber.

It's for FFP purposes, lower yearly amortization costs. Not much but every million counts in our situation.
