I guess they were doing pretty well up until the break but after the break they became a whole another level of team. If they are going to give anyone the keys, I feel like it should be Xavi by a big margin. You could give him some youth experience while getting anyone you want but after some experience with the youth team and all that and get his proper licenses, Xavi would be to Barcelona what Zidane is to Madrid if you ask me. That dude was the smartest player I have ever seen, sure there are a lot more talented players in the world but rarely we have ever seen a player that was as wise as Xavi on the field.

I know it is not a right now solution but it would basically be guarantee for their future to have a lot of success if this idea works out for them.

Transfer rumours:
Is Patrick Kluivert the new coach of Barcelona?

I heard that Barcelona were ready to hand Setien another chance or say season to manage but that was before Osasuna game. I also do think changing manager is necessary for Barcelona right now. I also didn't like how Setien was managing like switching the player positions totally from what they usually play. So I hope whoever comes next at least doesn't do that.
In my own point of view, Setien was not totally giving another chance but his subject is seems to be on hold till Barcelona find the perfect manager and I saw alot of people saying theres chance for Kluivert to be the next manager which is still not certain.
Nevertheless, manager changing players is not Setien problem and from my own view his problem is not knowing how to manage his team to generate a better result.

Borussia Dortmund have placed a £115m price tag on Jadon Sancho.
Zenit  are willing to offer around £9m for  Dejan Lovren.

Not too sure a rookie Kluivert would be a good manager for them but it’s everywhere online that the Barca players want it to happen - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8538085/amp/Barcelona-stars-eager-club-legend-Patrick-Kluivert-replace-doomed-Quique-Setien.html

Sancho is a great player, because of how young he is that doesn’t seem an unfair price.

Lovren is out of favour at Liverpool but 9,000,000 GBP seems cheap.

I dont know if Patrick Kluivert would be the best option for Barcelona , as there many others that would be better for them.
He only was the trainer of the Cameron national football team so far , for sure he was a great player but dont know if that would be going good with Barca.

Jadon Sancho would be a great player for Dortmund but i guess he will leave even the price tag is so high.

Lovren is getting old and he isn't the first choice in Klopp's mind anymore. Maybe that pushed Zenit to push a bid that low thinking that Liverpool might accept that and IMO it can happen as well. Still I don't think Zenit is not right club for him so I feel like move is gonna get denied from players end somehow.

Setien isn't doing a good job at Barcelona, players already are good so why the coach would still make the players exercising dormant style of play. He need to be changed for better coaching experiences and have won 6 tropics in one season lost to Osasuna underdogs.

Manchester City are interested in Diego Rosa and are ready to offer £ 4.5m.
Borussia Dortmund have placed a £115m price tag on Jadon Sancho.
Zenit  are willing to offer around £9m for  Dejan Lovren.

Source: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/gossip

My response regarding the transfer of rumors is as follows
- Not sure Kluivert can make Barcelona a strong team, Kluivert's experience as a coach is still not enough to become a new coach Barcelona.
- I don't really know Diego Rosa, but if Manchester City are interested it means Diego Rosa is a potential player.
- I think the price of Jadon Sancho is too overrated, and should stay in Dortmund first in next season. So that his playing ability increases.
- Zenit is perfect for getting Lovren, hopefully this transfer will be realized.

It seems to me that Barcelona has wandered too much in recent years in its transfer policy and that both the team and the results are suffering because of it.
Lovren is no longer part of the Liverpool first team and for his career it will be good to go to a club where he will be the first option and where he will play.

About taxes, I almost sure that premier is using the "old" Italian tax system too, it was the same in every major league.

If a players earn 8m/y you also need to pay 8ish m/y in taxes.

This is what I found on this topic:
Premier League 45% taxes on players salaries (FA are currently in negotiations with the government to reduce to 30% due to pandemic crisis)
LA Liga 52% taxes on salaries
Bundes League 47.475% taxes on players salaries

I know, there is still big money when we talking about 40mill salaries, but there is much less difference than you claim. In any case, I support this measure from the Italian government to reduce the tax rate and help Italian football to be competitive again.

I certainly don’t think that’s crucial when we talking about top-class players. 80% of top players play in these three leagues, and they don't want to leave because of high taxes. If that it is crucial, probably Russian league will be more attractive with "only" 13% on football players salaries.

L'Equipe report: Kovac to join Monaco - Moreno has to leave club

Although Monaco beat Belgian Cercle Brugge 2-0 in a friendly match on Friday and the Ligue 1 season is currently suspended due to coronavirus outbreak, the club's management decided to thank Spanish expert Moreno.
Reportedly, Kovac had many offers since he was dismissed as Bayern Munich coach in November 2019 but was preparing for the 'right one' as he stated in one interview.

I don't want to ruin your hopes, but you must be real in this case. You really expect Mbappe to be a free agent

I know is a very slim chance but again if the auction for his salary starts in the same year when Ronaldo leaves Juventus will have 80milion/year free on their cashier.
In a hypothetical world they can spend this budged all for Mbappè so hypothetically they can spend up to 60m salary to him and 20 for taxes.
Now, to equalize this offer other teams outside Italy need to spend 120m/year.
I know it will never happen but it is a dream.

Now, about the free agent.

If he doesn't want to renew his contract PSG can do nothing and they need to set him free also keep in mind when a player is at his last year he can sign for whoever he wants for free from 6 months minus 1 day at the expiration of his contract.
So he can sign for Real Madrid for example for free without any legal problem from 1st February 2020.

About taxes, I almost sure that premier is using the "old" Italian tax system too, it was the same in every major league.

If a players earn 8m/y you also need to pay 8ish m/y in taxes.

You forgot to mention Barcelona high ballast named Lionel Messi. I agree that he is very important probably key player for all of his success, but they are too dependent on him. Yet I can't believe some great players failed to integrate into the team. I don't know is it true, but constantly appearing speculation, if Messi does not like someone, he can easy to leave Barca, his tour is over there.
everyone acts like he’s bigger than the club, and that was never a good ending for the club.
it’s just a plus so much failed transfers, but how we can believe that all of the players which @Darkoth89 mention, forget to play football when joining to Barca. I expect them to get A.C. Milan destiny after Messi retirement.
That was what I'm thinking about ..

There's 5 biggest tranfer flops and 3 of them is a Barcelona transfer.
I bet that there's a problem in their scouting system and it cost a lot to the financial situation indirectly with those transfer policies, they are even continue making shit transfer deal , the latest one is pjanic lol.

So much flops and that's a negative balance.
Next worst transfer : Lautaro Martinez
Yeah i have no doubt it could be the next transfer flops, mark my words.

For sure they will try to keep him as he is a very good player and can get them more as they let them go !
The COVID thing happens to every big Club at the moment and they have to look who they will get or let go.
Guess we will see some more transfers for less money maybe

 If you were PSG what would you prefer? Giving up the most expensive player for free to save 10-20 million more money on contract, or would you give him 10-20 million more and sell him for 200-300 million instead? Do not think for a second that he can't worth that much, there are so many players that went for 70-100 million ranch these days that I think it would be easily a new world record when he is sold.

 PSG probably wants to keep him as well, who would you get, even if they give you 10 billion dollars, if they give you unlimited amount of money, who can you get that is as good as him plus at that age? Most of the players who are close to him in talent are usually older, and the ones that are at his age are not as talented, so there is no way they would want to sell him.

 Even if they do end up selling him for a lot of money one day, certainly they will do that after they give him a huge contract, he is not the type of player you would let him go to save some money. However one thing is uncertain, if he doesn't want to stay, they can offer him a lot of money and he could still leave, but that usually comes from a disgruntled player and he doesn't look to be unhappy at PSG at all.

Madrid even without COVID couldn't spend 300m for Mbappè.
The only way to get him out of Paris is at the end of his contract in 2 years if he will not renew.

At that point, he will go into the best salary offering between Real Juve Barca Inter City, just my 2 cents.

Italians if they can spend (Ronaldo will leave the same year releasing 80m € yearly on Juventus casher) because they need for the new law to pay only 25% of taxes against the 100% from other countries.

So if he wants 40m/year,

Juventus/Inter needs to pay 50m with taxes
Real/City needs to pay 80m with taxes

I don't want to ruin your hopes, but you must be real in this case. You really expect Mbappe to be a free agent? PSG will just let him go for free? It is not a 5-10million cheap player, we talking about one of most expensive player in the world.
Also, pandemic must be reflected to Juve as a Real or any other club. why would they be in a privileged position in relation to anyone. Juventus finances remained undamaged due to Covid crisis?
Even if Italy has much lowerest taxes, what do you think, who's have deeper pocket here? M.City, Real, PSG or Juventus? Plus I think in PL was not 100% taxes on players salaries.
another aggravating circumstance for other clubs, Mbappe's wish is to join on Real, so other clubs needs to offer something more to change his mind.

Madrid blamed financial crisis because of COVID-19 that make them pending process to sign Mbappe. But, they are still make him target, do you think if Mbappe will get offer from EPL, and how much posibilty his salary in ths league?


Madrid rival Barcelona rumored if Griezmann possible to leave while Messi still doesn't still won't to sign new contract. If Griezmann leave, Bernardo Silva is the first target to replace.

Madrid even without COVID couldn't spend 300m for Mbappè.

Transfer Market: The latest news and rumours
According to Bild, an agreement has been reached between Liverpool and Thiago Alcantara.
It seems that for financial reasons Real have definitely given up on Mbappe.
Inter are confident that Lautaro Martinez won't leave the club this summer.
Sergio Ramos remains at Real for a long time.
Mario Gotze goes to Sevilla?

Transfer market of Thiago Alcantara to Liverpool from would be a really great market if deal is finalized. The Bayern Munich player is a good one that understands every good style of plays at any given clubs. He brings the best out of players if played with him on pitch. Mane and Salla would actually get a good play with him as his not a stingy player but with open handed passer.
