Firstly, I am aware that Barcelona is buying players from outside the league. At least think about the current situation. There is no way that the same Barcelona which had to let the leading player in the World Cup because of financial difficulty are able to buy a lot of overpriced players right now.

So, I certainly don’t think they are making wise decisions about the transfers. Can you imagine what would happen if Bayern Munich's statement came true? That Barcelona will not even be a club in a few years' time.

Anyway, I don’t think Barcelona can afford Lionel Messi right now. But the same thing was said about the previous two transfers that Barcelona made. It seems like every time I say that Barcelona cannot afford the players, Barcelona takes it personally and starts buying the players.

It seems that Xavi's achievements last season made the management confident next season. The management gave a large enough budget to buy new players in a not so good financial state. I was actually quite surprised, Barcelona's move was beyond my expectations. In addition, Barcelona is very active in hunting down players and surpassing Real Madrid. In addition in the trials in the Pre-Season tournament Barca won 1-0. This is a warning to Madrid, They are not active in the transfer market this time.

I like this match because it's been a long time I haven't seen the trio of Vini, Benzema and Asensio there.
As for saying they won't win in La Liga, it's too hasty, my friends, remember this is only a friendly match so it's still quite natural that there are still some adjustments even if we look at the last line of defense that is filled by A. Lunin who incidentally is young goalkeeper.

This may be a little different in terms of how the league goes because for sure with things like this Madrid will not walk alone in the race for the title.
As for the defense issue, I quite agree with what you said because their defense is too stiff now, especially there are still players who are quite old. Xavi is now anticipating bringing Kounde there even though this will make it more difficult for them financially and there is no guarantee of a title either.
I'm looking forward to the competition between Barcelona and Madrid, which is getting worse and worse.

If they have solved the problem, why is it rumored that they are going to take a pay cut from the player (Frankie de Jong)? It proves that they haven't really solved their problem completely. Do not let their ambitious desires harm other players. If it is said that they are willing to take a pay cut because of their loyalty to the club, still that kind of thing shouldn't exist in football.

Such a weird position Barcelona are in. They have to shoo away their own players that pledged loyalty to them and rightly so, the players arent budging or leaving as most of them are yet to be paid their full wages. The whole Frankie de Jong saga is a black mark on Barcelona's history. How could a management be so irresponsible and then try to shift it all on the players while also trying to sign new players for equal if not higher salary? I've lost all respect for Barcelona at this point. They could win the league again but I'll remember that the club in itself isnt loyal to its players.

Big sponsors still won't allow teams to have all the players they want, because if big sponsors can make clubs buy players freely then all rich clubs will be able to easily do that too. But the truth is, every club with a rich owner will still go through a process to finally be able to have a lot of great players on the team. There are restrictions in the finances themselves, especially from spending, which if it is not balanced it is very likely that a club will get a violation. But in Barcelona, they are free and I don't understand because basically even though they have sponsors and have sold broadcasting rights but still their financial condition still has problems especially in paying player salaries.

Barcelona could not possibly register all their players due to FFP regulations, actually Barcelona wanted to release De Jong because he was one of the highest paid players, but he refused to leave and the offer of a pay cut was unsuccessful. With the situation unfavorable, Barcelona must look for other options, selling Ter Stegen could be done because he is included in the list of players who burden the club finances. Ter Stegen salary is very high, he earns 7 million euros per season and will increase even more next season. Selling Ter Stegen will get Barcelona out of two problems, firstly, Barcelona will be on the right track to register all their players. And secondly, the departure of Ter Stegen could reduce the club salary burden.

Although Marc-Andre Ter Stegen has helped Barcelona win many trophies since 2014, and his contract still has two years left. However, Ter Stegen has
a fairly large salary of around 7 million euros per season, so Barcelona had to take a tough decision at the expense of Ter Stegen for immediate sale
this year. It was all done so that Barcelona could register Frenkie De Jong to be able to play in La Liga, when in fact Barcelona really wanted to sell
Frenkie De Jong to Man United. But because De Jong refused to move, then Barcelona were forced to sell Marc-Andre Ter Stegen.

Moreover, Marc-Andre Ter Stegen who is still 30 years old is considered to still have value for sale. If it is true that Marc-Andre Ter Stegen is finally sold
by Barcelona, ​​then this will open up opportunities for Barcelona's young goalkeeper. Because it is impossible for Barcelona to rely on their senior
goalkeeper, Neto, who is 33 years old and his performance is less impressive. So maybe Xavi will give a chance to Inaki Pena who is still 23 years old,
and also 21-year-old Arnau Tenas to become Barcelona's main goalkeeper. With a large amount of money that Barcelona has spent so far to bring in
new players, it seems unlikely that Barcelona will buy a goalkeeper to replace Marc-Andre Ter Stegen.

They are very active thanks to the sponsorships they have made recently seemingly. Otherwise we all know about what kind of a situation they are in actually. They just want to make all the transfers they can before they enter a state that they can't do this easily. These transfers are of course really nice ones when it comes to becoming more successful in the league and the other tournaments both. But I wonder if they will be in a more comfortable situation financially at the end of this season. It won't be easy even if they have a great season.

There was a rumour about Marc-Andre Ter Stegen future in Barcelona that if De Jong stayed then Ter Stegen possibly will be sell and impossible to registered all of the current players because of Financial Fair Play rules so the option is Barcelona have to release the player who have high salary so Ter Stegen might be the player who leave this summer especially in the last few seasons he had decline performance period and reported Barcelona will looking for the replacement of him and Barcelona have several candidated for goalkeeper position such as Alban Lafont from Nantes and Maarten Vandevoordt from Genk FC

It is unlogical explanation from Barcelona. We see they spent a lot of money for transfer but rejected to pay salary for De Jong. They are wrong here and have bad treatment for De Jong. If their club does not have money, ok, let's fill in a bankruptcy statement and players can go without salary.

This case is different for Barcelona, they actually have money but did not intend to pay for De Jong. They are trying to kick De Jong out and save $17M from his salary. That is not a salary in future for De Jong, it is what Barcelona own him.

That's true, but if you look at the way Barcelona are in terms of getting new players in the transfer market at the moment, it looks like Barcelona have started to solve their own problems so that in pre-season matches Barcelona also started to show a step forward through very brilliant performances. In fact, I think that Barcelona will be the strongest competitor to win the trophy in La Liga next season.

The massive changes made by Barcelona give hope the La Liga title with them next season after failing in the last three seasons. Although it is too early to determine, this is only a prediction after see the change in their game in the previous match. Lewandowski and Aubameyang will play an important role in placing Barcelona's standings in La Liga. The result of the match with defending champions real madrid recently gave confidence to the barcelona players.

After all they have to settle first their protracted inter problem, otherwise we don't know what will happen to this team. Achievement may be their target now, but it's not worth it if they are still grappling with their current problems. In my opinion, achievements must be accompanied by a stable team situation, it will make it easier for them to move forward.

I think Barca will address their club's financial problems first. while waiting for Messi's contract to expire. it will be easy for Barca if Messi's status becomes a free transfer.
although whether it will be Barca's interest again or not to bring Messi back to Barca with his age getting older.
If that's the case, I think at least Barca has to deal with the club's problems in one season. and it looks like it will be tough for Barca.

If Messi really can be brought in this transfer window then obviously the Barcelona squad will be very great but unfortunately, signing Messi at this moment is very unlikely. Unless these rumors are linked when Messi's contract expires at PSG, then it is very possible for Messi to return to Barcelona but even so Barcelona still have too many high-paid players in the team while their finances are not yet stable. It seemed impossible when that happened, but if I consider that Barcelona is a crazy team that doesn't care about huge debts, then it seems possible.

I agree that Messi's presence will provide a different atmosphere in the team. But is such a step always to be taken? Why not try other options other than bringing back a Messi. If so, what will happen to Barcelona when Messi ends his career as a professional footballer? I believe they can do great things even without a Messi.

Mate, that's a really cool cartoon based on the progression over time for the El Clasico duel between Real Madrid and Barcelona. Every season both teams have stars (except last season) to compete to be the best and often the two are always compared. I remember about Zidane and Ronaldinho also about Ronaldo and Messi. They compete with each other for team titles, individual achievements and honestly we were lucky to witness their prowess.

But now, Benzema and Lewandowski are the two mainstays of each team but Lewandowski is still new in Barcelona. But of course he is a very productive striker so far who can probably be expected to compete tightly as the top scorer.

Everything changed. This time it's very hard to win any game even with messi on the barcelona. Xavi clearly confirmed that if it's even impossible to bring back messi the financial problem will be faced by barcelona. Barcelona was still in the recovery phase. This team has bought so many big players recently. that's why im thinking now if bringing back messi to the camp nou will not give a very big difference to the club. This is what i can take from there.
