At present, La Liga is in the off-season, but the championship suspense is not big, the league championship is very likely to spend two consecutive years in Madrid, but last season's champion was Atletico, this season should belong to Real Madrid. Watching the old rival win the championship, Barca's taste is not good, but after Messi left, Barca directly entered a long reconstruction period, I believe that the next few years will be temporarily suppressed by Real Madrid.
However, Harvey's younger generation is very good, 18-year-old Pedri is already a European Golden Boy, and 17-year-old Garvey has basically booked next year's European Golden Boy Awards. Had it not been for the frequent injuries of the 19-year-old Fati, he might have become the main striker of the European Golden Boy and Spain earlier. Despite barca's young talent suddenly blowing up, if you want to return to the top, you can't do without bringing in top stars. Haaland, the strongest player under the famous agent Rayola, has become Barca's first choice.
The 21-year-old Haaland, also the winner of the European Golden Boy Award, he and Mbappe are the most likely to copy Messi's magical record of the stars, that is, to win the Golden Boy Award and the Golden Ball Award, only Messi has ever done it, as strong as C Ronaldo can not be copied, because C Ronaldo has never won the European Golden Boy Award, which is one of the biggest regrets of his career. Barca have a tough time signing Haaland because there are so many teams that can afford a €75 million penalty.
Given that Barca's relationship with Laiola is very good, Laiola will focus on the option of Haaland joining Barca, but a good relationship is one thing, and Haaland's annual salary, signing fees and some of Rayola's needs are essential. However, Barca's operation is actually very clever, in addition to meeting the above requirements as much as possible, they are trying to solve the problem for the other players under the Raiola umbrella and try to bring them all into the Barca squad.
The first is De Ligt, who has been unable to serve as the defensive core at Juventus. The 22-year-old Talented Dutch centre-back, since joining Juventus, has been playing decent football with a high salary of 8 million euros, and his performance on the field is not ideal, and it is even more frustrating to often send penalties. It is worth mentioning that he is also a former Winner of the European Golden Boy Award, and Barca seems to want to bring all the winners of the European Golden Boy Award to Camp Nou. Previously, there have been cases of Fabregas, Aguero and others.
It's only a matter of time before De Ligt leaves Juventus, and as the strongest defender in Laiola's hands, it is impossible to play for Juventus forever. The reason why he chose to join Juve after leaving Ajax was to see the offer at that time, and Barca also wanted to pack De Ligt and De Jong, but the annual salary was not as high as Juventus's offer. De Ligt was very worried about not being able to win the competition with Pique, so he chose to join Juventus.
Now De Ligt has also lost his main position in the Dutch team in Van Gaal, and he urgently needs to change the environment to regain his good performance. At present, Juventus is experiencing financial difficulties and can take De Ligt with them as long as Barca can pay 55 million euros. The poorer Barca have already used the same price to take advantage of the talented winger Felan Torres, and there must be a way to meet Juventus' transfer fees. It's just that De Ligt is afraid to take a pay cut to join Barca, and his teammate De Jong is one of barca's highest-paid players.
I don't know if it will cause him a psychological imbalance, but Pique plans to retire next year, and De Ligt can play directly at Barca, which is very attractive. If Barca can help Laiola solve De Ligt's transfer problem, the possibility of Raiola convincing Haaland to join Barca will increase. The second player Barca needs to address is Mazlawi, the 24-year-old Moroccan right-back who is basically certain not to renew his contract with Ajax.
Therefore, Barca have another chance to skip the right-back, in order to be able to sign Mazlawi, Barca must first send Dest away, and Bayern will basically be willing to take over. If Laiola saw that Barca were so active in pursuing his players, he would naturally actively promote Haaland's transfer. For Barca, it is still very cost-effective to eat the three big generals under La Raiola in one go, and the total transfer fee will not exceed 130 million euros.
