Reporter Han Bing reported that Barçabi postponed the estimated time by a day on Tuesday and officially announced the joining of Ferran Torres, of course, people are more concerned about how the 21-year-old will register in La Liga. Under the professional league's fiscal fairness act, Barca must free up more salary space and sell more players to return funds in order to give Ferran Torres a chance to play, rather than being forced to train with the team for half a year like Turan that year and not qualifying to play.
In Barca's favour, Aguero's retirement frees up to €7.5 million in salary space for Felan Torres, in addition to demir, a youngster on loan from Vienna, will also leave. His salary is limited, but Barca will have to buy out 10 million euros in one more appearance, and can only give up. In other aspects of Xavi's redundancy that he doesn't need, high school striker Luc De Jong is largely certain to loan Cadiz, who can cover at least half of his salary.
The biggest problem is still the overpaid Coutinho and Umtiti, the former after tax annual salary of up to 12 million euros, has not yet found a suitable home, although the Premier League's Everton is interested in him, but the focus of the deal is still high salary. The Turkish super giant Fenerbahce wants to sign Umtiti, but the French defender's annual salary of 6 million euros after tax, Fenerbahce can not afford it, Barca must bear at least half to send him away. However, the good news is that Newcastle United is willing to pay Barca 20 million euros to bring in Umtiti, which is a blessing for Barca, which is in dire need of cash flow.
In addition, Durst's transfer also sees hope. Chelsea's main full-back Chilwell was injured and needed surgery for anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. Given Chelsea's tight schedule in January, he opted for conservative treatment with little effect, and would miss the remaining season if the surgery. Chelsea are already looking for new full-backs in the city and transfer specialist Romano says Tuchel is already assessing Dester. Although he is not a priority for Chelsea, he is the most likely player to join.
Dester's rivals include Ajax's Thaliafico, Lyon's Pamieri and Coventry's Mattson. If both Umtiti and Dest can join the Premier League as desired, the 55 million euros in cash flow will not only solve the signing of Ferran Torres, but may even bring several free new signings to Xavi.
Barca already have two new signings in the winter window, the veteran Alves has only the lowest annual salary of 155,000 euros in La Liga, and Ferran Torres has an annual salary of 3 million euros after tax, but Barca persuaded him to take only a small part of the season's back-end schedule, and the difference will be made up in the next four years of contract. In terms of transfer fees, 55 million euros were paid in 4 installments, which were apportioned on the club's accounts for 5 years, and only 11 million per year. Although 5.5 million were apportioned in the second half of the season, the agreement between Barca and Manchester City is to pay a down payment after the start of the 2022/23 financial year on July 1 next year, which means that the transfer fee cost is zero this season.
