On January 6, Beijing time, let's take a look at Barca's recent transfer dynamics.
Because it exceeds the salary cap in La Liga, The 55 million euros introduced by Barca, Ferran Torres, has not yet been able to complete the registration. Now, Barca must first get rid of the two big contracts of Coutinho and Umtiti before they can get Ferran Torres to complete the registration and then bring in new players. It is understood that Coutinho's annual salary is 17 million euros, while Umtiti's annual salary is also 9.5 million, and if they can be released in the winter transfer window, then they will free up 26.5 million euros of salary space.
Coutinho is willing to leave Barca for next year's World Cup because he also knows that he has no place in Barca. It is understood that there are also many teams interested in Coutinho, and there are already 5 teams in the Premier League interested in bringing him in. Among them, Villa coach Gerrard has personally called to invite Coutinho to join the team, and Villa hopes to bring in Coutinho in the form of first rent and then buy. At that time, Barca used 165 million euros to bring in Coutinho must have lost a lot, and Barca hoped to stop the loss in time, because the player's contract was still 1 and a half years away. Now it's up to the two sides to agree on the amount of the buyout.
However, the situation in Umtiti is more difficult. The Frenchman is now in a state of no desire, and he has won the World Cup. It is understood that Umtiti is reluctant to leave the team, leaving the team to join the Champions League team, but now Barca only found a home like Newcastle for him, it is estimated that this winter transfer window will not go.
In terms of reinforcements, The World Sport said Barca were eyeing three champions of Chelsea, namely Rudiger, Christensen and Azpilicueta. Of the three players Barcelona are eyeing, Rudiger's annual salary is undoubtedly the highest. Rudiger's contract is about to expire and he is demanding an annual salary of more than 11 million euros, scaring off Real Madrid and Inter, but Barca remains interested in him.
