To my opinion such transfers will become less expensive. After this pandemic and crisis that will follow football will transforn too and the costs will reduce. Of course, not over night, not for all players clubs but slowly we will witness the changes, nothing will remain the same.

After the Sané-deal it doesn't look like FC Bayern München will also sign Kai Havertz this summer. Bayer Leverkusen seems to be still asking for more than €100m for Kai Havertz, which is pretty high IMHO. Let's see what happens. Thiago might leave the club and that could change things.

Speculation related to the future of Barcelona superstar, Lionel Messi is still a hot talk in recent months, his contract which will end in 2021 makes the Argentine continues to be linked to the club's exit.

It was rumored to have started opening negotiations at an early stage with the Barca president, Josep Maria Bartomeu and will sign a contract until 2023, now La Pulga is said to have changed its decision.  reported by AS English, he has stopped discussing new contracts and wants to immediately leave Camp Nou at the end of the 2020/21 season.

If Sane remains healthy, it will be a steal. He is a great prospect and still young, he will fit into this Bayern team really well.

It seems Bayern will sell Thiago to balance the books and some journalists are reporting that he already agreed a deal with Liverpool. The price is quoted at around 35 mil. Euro and would be a great signing for us.

Sanè is official a Bayern player now.
The price should be 49+11 bonus m €.

Still a good price

Remember they also make expensive transfers, So that definitely affects the club's revenue on top of salary demands by most of those signed players. The players they try to sell off lately don't cost as much as the costs of those they buy unlike other clubs that can afford to sell off a player at a high price and not spend the immediately

Borussia Dortmund buys again. their policy of giving young players a chance obviously works. Bellingham signed 5yr deal.

as far as I know, some other big clubs (Manchester United) were interested in this player. he obviously chose a club where he would have more time to prove himself. if they do not sell his best players, maybe we can expect competitive team in battle with Bayern Munich.

 Barcelona bad transfer habits doesn't really mean that they didn't earn the revenue talked about, they did earned that money, sadly they just spent it wrongfully. Thats basically a team problem, they do have great scouts but those scouts are usually for young kids they could develop, las masia is still one of the best places you can find players from, if you are a third world nation and you send scouts to la masia, any player barcelona and other teams do not sign you can check and at least get a week long trial so that you can get your team better.

 However when you have a youth system like that, it causes the team to overspend on other stuff, they have hundreds of millions of dollars in income and that means they will buy anyone they want for any price they want. Plus from what I learned from playing football manager (I know its just a game but I feel it has some valid to it) if some third league team has a good young prospect and as a bottom of la liga team asks for it, the player will be sold for 5 million at most, if the same player is wanted by barcelona its 30 instead. When other teams deal with a team as wealthy as Barcelona they ask for more money from them for the same player than they would ask from any other team.

The career path of Achraf Hakimi ended with Borussia Dortmund within two seasons, because he finally officially moved to Inter Milan.

Previously, Achraf was reportedly going to move closer to his original club, Real Madrid, after the loan period ended.  However, he refused because he was reluctant to become a coating of Dani Carvajal.

In fact, Real Madrid will not easily repatriate him to the Santiago Bernabeu after being claimed will not have a buyback option for the 21-year-old player.

Sad, Hakimi is now a Inter player.
Real however have an option, if an offer comes to Inter they need to talk to real and they can tie the offer and get the player if they want.

Besides their success in La Liga (and UCL), Barcelona also has transfer spendings like only a few other teams in the world (not even talking about salaries). And let's be honest. Their signings over the last couple of years were all underwhelming considering how much money they spend on them. After the season 2014/15 they signed, amongst others, Arda Turan (34 million euros), Aleix Vidal (17 million euros), Andre Gomes (37 million euros), Paco Alcacer (30 million euros), Lucas Digne (16.5 million euros) or Malcom (41 million euro). None of these had any real impact.

The ones I listed above were only the cheap "mispurchases". Of course there was also Philippe Coutinho, a 145 millio euro transfer who is now on loan at Bayern Munich and it looks like Bayern doesn't want to sign him and Barca doesn't want him to come back either. An pretty expensive misunderstanding for Barcelona. Another example is Ousmane Dembelé. Once he forced his 125 million euro transfer from Dortmund by staying away from the team training, now he showed similar behaviour in Barcelona when he didn't attend a video conference in April (the whole team but him was present). Reportedly Barca wants to get rid of him again but no one is willing to pay the 60 million they ask for a player with his history (medical and behaviour).

And that Setien, as head coach, said publicly yesterday that he thought it would destabilize the team if he brings Griezmann is just the icing on the cake. Yes, he's talking about Antoine Griezmann, the striker who came from Atletico for 120 million euro! Did the officials at Barcelona only realize the doesn't really fit into their team after they transfered the money to Madrid?

I assume that Barcelona shouldn't really be doing stuff like this if they were taking care of their economy. I mean lets be real, this is the team that wins La Liga quite commonly, which means they should be making a ton of money from that alone, but they also go to quarter finals and above on champions league pretty commonly as well and they also end up winning it time to time too as we all know.

When you combine all of this and their worldly known status, I would say that Barcelona probably has a ton of revenue and income. What type of costs do they have to say that they need to clear the books and make it look like they are profiting a lot? I mean is it the high salaries? Is it something else? This team really should be raking in cash, how are they needing stuff like this?

I dont think that Griezmann will soon be close to one of two English clubs who are interested in his services. Although Antonie does not rule out the possibility of moving to another club, he still has dream that have not yet come true in Barcelona. But if that happens, I like him joining Manchester City. But in my opinion, Griezmann will not move immediately because Manchester City will be suspended and will not participate in UCL next season and this may be an obstacle for every player to join Manchester City because every player want to play at UCL.

and another 'small' transfer is done...

Pape Gueye from le havre to olympique marseille

Covid is going to hit all teams in the pocket, I’m not sure if there will be any massive money signings. Pogba might be happier with his situation at Man Utd now, they look likely to get into the CL now.

Guys, Pogba will stay in Manchester United, period. He's happy there, he's starting to find his good form, and no one wants to sign him...There's a reason why there are no rumours about Pogba lately, everyone knows he's not going anywhere. At this point, Pogba to Juve is a wishful thinking.

Ok, a few rumours:

• Chelsea keen on Declan Rice (West Ham). [source]

• Man Utd and Man City interested in swap deal for Griezmann. [source]

• Alaba (Bayern Munich) to Manchester City? [source]

yes, this is exactly what it is about. they lacked that amount until the end of June to stay positive in his financial books. they put off his financial problem for a while, but the question is how long have you been able to do so. especially if they do business as they do now, selling young and potential players and buying old players which won't be worth much in a year or two.
Juventus took advantage of their problem and took a good player cheaply.

Nor sure if it has been posted here alrerady but for all of you, including me, who still don't really understand the reasoning for Barca behind the Pjanic - Arthur deal between Juve and Barca:

It seems it's been an accounting trick to improve their finances. I am not an accountant at all, so I don't really understand all that's going on but it really makes you wonder how Barcas finances look like when they have to use these kind of tricks. I mean, Barca wasn't really known for financially reasonable deals lately.

Some even bought the shirt on this tweet. Naturally they want a refund now!


This could not be an easy transfer. We have seen that Juventus fans still love Pogba.

I don't think that there will be place for them in Barcelona's first line up.
He is going to get his chances only if Messi leaves the club.
Until then, he is just going to be a replacement for him.
