If Barto does this, we are financially finished for forseeable future.
I doubt that Coutinho can bring more than 100 million. And that's 83% of the Griezmann fee alone. We have De Jong in the next fiscal year too.
So, with this scenario, if we are incredibly optimistic:
Budget:
Sales of Gomes, Denis, Rafinha, Jasper etc: 60 million
Yearly budget: 60 million
Coutinho: 100 million
Rakitić: 40 million
-----------------------------------------------
Sum: 260 million
Spending:
Griezmann: 120 million
Frenkie: 75 million
NeyNey: 300 million (if Nasser has a good day)
----------------------------------------------
Sum: 495 FUCKING million Euros (without buying a LB, we desperately need, unless we sign Luis)
This is a pure financial suicide from the board. Add to that the salaries and we are well and truly fucked in every financial way possible.
And in the next few years we will need: A world class LB, a CDM, likely a world class ST, likely a CB and likely a winger; all of that with 0 budget to spend.
This is pure harakiri by Barto.
PSG isn't going to offer him a renewal. Tuchel wants to get rid of the "star player mentality" players and Nasser said anyone who's unmotivated to play for PSG can leave.

PSG have allegedly offered Neymar to ManU in some kind of deal involving Pogba unless it’s more fake news

Not to mention the huge wages Neymar and Griezmann are on. If even Neymar agrees to cut his pay to the previous level which is 22m net, that is a gigantic burden for us on top of what we will be paying for Griezmann (rumored to be 16-17m net first season and goes up each season). I highly doubt if we will free up any significant amount of wages since Coutinho and Rakitic are not likely to go anywhere. This is going to bring our wages to expenses ratio to an even more dangerous level, probably close to 90% (currently at 81%). If this is not financial suicide, I don't know what is.
This fucking board is screwing my club and it is going to implode it.
