FC Barcelona He doesn’t finish closing them and he needs to check out this month
CAs has become a custom in recent times, the Bara arrives at this time of year with the need to balance accounts, something that inevitably happens to make cash. The azulgranas need to close departures this month to be able to cover the budget.
In principle, there are enough players on the exit ramp and with a market value high enough to cover the forecasts. However, the exits are not finished and some nervousness begins to appear in the offices of the club.
Barcelona has this month to close transfers. About 70 million euros in profits are needed in this concept. That is, recover what has not been amortized from those players for whom the transfer was paid and make some profit, but the operations do not end up propping up. Time is short and, although it is considered feasible, the feeling that it will have to be fought to the end begins to spread. As on the field of play, you have to earn it.
There are several names with the transfer sign. The juiciest operation would be Philippe Coutinho, but right now it is not at all clear. The Brazilian, on loan at Bayern, has not convinced the Germans and does not look like they are going to keep it. He wants to return to the Premier League, but right now he has no offer to return to the league in which he triumphed.
There are three names whose departure there are many hopes placed: Nlson Semedo, Arturo Vidal and Jean-Clair Todibo. All three are for sale and all of them have sparked the interest of other clubs. Barcelona considers that it has three of its main candidates in order to obtain the income it needs to receive in its box before the end of the current month.
The one who has the best cartel within that trident is the Portuguese defender. The wingers are scarce in the market and, in his case, there are several teams that have asked Barcelona about him. The Catalan club I paid 30 million euros for him in the summer of 2017, with which a good part of the investment has already been amortized. In the entity they trust to be able to get a good slice of it for this market.
More benefits are expected from the operation Todibo, who came to the Catalan club last year for just over a million euros. His market value is now around 25 and, after Schalke 04 has decided not to exercise the purchase option he had over him, he is in a position to sign for another team. The best placed seems to be the Everton, which also has enough financial muscle to carry out an operation of this size without complications.
As to Arturo vidal, the Chilean is still a footballer with no shortage of suitors, despite his 33 years. Bara paid 25 million euros for him two years ago and he still lacks a contract season. In the club they are determined to find a way out as soon as possible to try to get some money from their sale. They are convinced that they will achieve it, but they are also aware that it will not be, precisely, the outlet that reports the most money to the Catalan entity.
Thus, the work in the offices of the club is frantic. It is a race against time to try, one more season, to settle the accounts before the end of the course.
