The post-Messi era barca reconstruction is difficult! No money to buy too good players! Dembele also wants to renew his contract at a higher price!

Original/Oxygen is a metro

Barca in the post-Messi era entered the rebuilding, apparently the first season was unsuccessful, scoring only 2 goals in 6 Champions League group stage games, and was eliminated and could only play in the Europa League. The league has also been excluded from the top four for a long time, and the goal has fallen from the title race to the Champions League place. Only champions league quotas can attract stars to join and complete the reconstruction as soon as possible. And the prize money for playing in the Champions League is more, which is a good thing for Barca, which is in an economic crisis.

Although Barca showed a good trend in the national derby against Real Madrid in the semi-final of the Western Super League, Xavi as manager in addition to enjoying winning at the press conference, it is still in line with expectations, but this Barca team needs a lot of content to complete the reconstruction. The most important thing is to improve the attack, and dutch striker Depay, who once ranked number one in the world in scoring goals, has gradually fallen out of the rotation. Griezmann's loan, Aguero's retirement, Fati and Braithwaite injuries have left Barca without a striker. If it weren't for luke De Jong's sudden outbreak, Barca's forward crisis would have become more pronounced.

Goals don't make the difference between winning or losing a game, but goals are the foundation of football, so Barca need to solve this problem. Barca are still in talks with Juve's Morata, who, according to a January 15 report from the Spanish media Daily Sport, Javi wants his Spanish compatriot Morata to be loaned for a year and a half. Morata plays for Juve, but the ownership belongs to Atletico, and Atletico want Morata to move directly to Barca, which will have a transfer fee income.

In addition to Morata, Barca also thought about Cavani, but after Ferran joined, the plan was shelved. In addition, Barca's most wanted player is Haaland, which is the biggest candidate for the future first man alongside Mbappe. Real Madrid do not want Haaland to join Barca, but more hope that Haaland will go to Real Madrid to double the core of mbappe group with their high probability. It's a game. Barca's advantage is to be able to provide the boss position, the disadvantage is that there is no money. The lack of money to buy too good players is also the root cause of all the current crises in Barca.

In the lineup of forwards, Barca also have a crisis, the main problem is Dembele, he wants to increase the price to renew the contract. This would have been normal to renew the contract at a markup, and there were two problems. First, Dembele is not a supergiant, which makes it difficult for Barca to treat them like they invest in Messi and Neymar. Second, Dembele overestimated its positioning and demanded a super salary of 200 million euros for 5 years!

5 years 200 million euros super maximum salary, this contract, may be second only to Messi. The problem is that Dembele has left Messi a hundred and eighteen thousand miles, not a grade, not to mention that Barca now has no money to waste. Barca didn't want to satisfy Dembele, so maybe snow him. On January 15, Barca and team reporter Romero reported that Dembele wanted a five-year, 200 million euros super salary contract, as well as agent commissions of 20 million euros and player signing fees of 20 million euros. Barca suspected that no club in the world could give Dembele such a price, so they withdrew their offer for a contract extension and lowered Dembele's liquidated damages clause, and finally negotiated to hide Dembele. Romero said that Dembele customization is super giant and should take this maximum salary.
