Each new reinforcement that passes through the mind of the FC Barcelona It must be carried out with a ‘magnifying glass’ because of the financial ‘fair play’. The economic weakness that the organization has, added to its ample salaries, have set a pattern in the names that ring in the county offices. So much so that most of them have been players who are ending their contract so that they reach ‘zero cost’ or with fairly discreet salary claims. Now, it seems that a veteran of the Chinese Super League would be willing to wear the Barça elastic.
This would be the case of Óscar, the former Chelsea who plays in the Shanghai Port of China, who according to ‘TNT Sports Brasil’, He would be looking forward to returning to Europe and would have offered himself to Barça through his agent. It so happens that this information comes to light after the transfer of Philippe Coutinho Aston Villa, who shares a representative with the Brazilian.
Kia Joorabchian would have put the name of the midfielder on the table in the negotiations he had with the Blaugrana board of directors to agree on the loan of ‘Cou’, although his movement is more than distant. The American-born has a cost, according to ‘Transfermarkt’, of 18 million euros, and a contract of 7.5 ‘kilos’ net per season in his most recent contract extension until 2024. These figures would make his landing in Catalonia unfeasible due to the club salary margin.
His signing does not mean a priority for the technical secretariat of the institution, who is still focused on renewing Ousmane Dembélé. The Frenchman is one of the most important players in Xavi’s game scheme, in addition to the fact that a new agreement would allow the entity to adjust the impact of his salary this season to be able to carry out some more incorporations. Despite this, the name of Oscar, 30, was not ruled out and is on the table, but he would have to take a big pay cut if your intentions are to reach the Ciudad Deportiva Joan Gamper.
The famous ‘zero costs’ of Barça
Joan Laporta has already had ‘on the radar’ several veterans who could make a short-term difference for the coach. Edinson Cavani is one of them. His name was hot during December, but with the rumors of Alvaro Morata uphill, its possible arrival has cooled down. Players like Andreas Christensen Y César Azpilicueta from Chelsea. Both are released in June, but talks are still limited. Barely 11 days have passed since the start of the winter market, but it is certain that Laporta will have an ‘ace up his sleeve’ for the last week of January.
