Club statement already denying it.
His hands were tied I know. Will be interesting will Laporta take on responsibility tomorrow in his press conference.
Club statement already denying it.
As I've said before, give him a summer with 200m to spend and lock Laporta to @Fati_Future_BallonDor basement for two months so he couldn't meddle with transfers and you will all be pleasantly surprised with what he'll do.
Who would buy an injured, injury prone defender, that fucked up so royally in the CL.
Too many things going against that sale, it he was fit, would make that potential sale much easier.
Why would we do that?Because the injury can drop the price by 20-30m.
Why would we do that?
The club's finances are really not easy or straightforward. We don't have a clue what's going on and what deals could be in the process. So I'm giving the board the benefit of the doubt.Because we need income and we lose leverage with Araujo every transfer window.
80m asking price reduced to 50-60m is better than zero in 2026.
Currently we can't fit his current salary mass of 6m, let alone renewing him.
Christensen = 6m
Araujo = 6m
Olmo = 11m(?)
Gavi = 6m
All four need to be registered in winter market when returning from injuries.
EDIT
Actually LaLiga.com is a bit of an expected mess. All 4 are showin in the registered Barca squad so F knows what the reality is.
StunningAraujo isn't the first good defender to make a big mistake in a CL knockout and I doubt he'll be the last.
