Harvey still needs reinforcements, and the next departure is Memphis?

Journalist Han Bing reported that Felan Torres is not the last piece of the puzzle of Xavi's ideal formation, and Barca's series of purges and salary cuts can free up space for reinforcements, at least to bring Xavi the center he wants. Luc de Jong is long out of Harvey's plans, and even if the Dutch high school striker scores consecutive goals and the desire to survive is extremely strong, it is still difficult to keep himself at Camp Nou. Memphis's exchange deal with Morata, because of The younger Chieza's severe knee injury, reached a point where there could be a breakthrough.

Sky Sports revealed that Juventus made Memphis a preferred target after Chiesa Jr. was injured. The Dutch goalscorer was able to play all the positions up front and his goal efficiency at Barca did not disappoint. What's more, Memphis earns a lower annual salary than Morata, which is one of the decisive factors for Juventus, which also needs to reduce salary costs. Originally, the Spanish media had already spread that Atletico, Juventus and Barca had agreed on Morata's subloan, and only some details related to the players had yet to be implemented.

At present, Morata's annual salary is not a big problem. Atletico's players, who earn up to €10 million a year at Juventus, agreed to a pay cut to join, but the exact extent was not agreed. Before The Younger Chieza was injured, Juventus was reluctant to let Morata go for free, hoping to get some financial compensation. At that time, Barca had considered using Memphis in exchange, the Dutchman's annual salary at Barca was 5 million euros, and if he could leave and further expand the salary space, it would be conducive to signing Morata.

In addition, Barca are also seeking to give up high-paying goalkeeper Neto, with the current preferred replacement being Vallecano's North Macedonia goalkeeper Dimitrievski. The goalkeeper, who has performed well this season and earns only 1/3 of Neto's annual salary, also has the ability to replace Ter Stegen. In Laporta's eyes, in addition to the range drawn by Xavi, other Barca players are not for sale, and even if they do not leave, they must accept a new round of salary cuts to create conditions for the club's reinforcements.

Even La Masian fathers such as Pique, Busquets, and Roberto could not be exempted. The controversy over Pique's annual salary figures is a form of public opinion that creates influence on Laporta's next salary cut. All three of the senior players have reached the twilight of their careers and are clearly unable to continue to maintain their current high salaries. Pique and Busquets are still the main players that Harvey must rely on, but Roberto may even be swept out of the house in addition to salary cuts.
