The winter transfer window is closed and la Liga giants Barca are doing amazingly. Barca's consecutive signings of Alves, Torres, Traore and Aubameyang with a salary cap of just €98 million are really surprising. So how did Barca do it? What about the results of Barca's winter window transfer? Without further ado, let's talk about the transfer of the Barcelona winter window with you!
First of all, Barça is doing to reduce wage expenditure, Barça first renewed his contract with Umtiti, Umtiti is a salary cut to renew, Umtiti's original annual salary is 9.5 million euros, and now the annual salary is 4 million euros, and his salary reduction is very large. And, that's not all, according to the Daily Sport, Umtiti's basic salary is only about 1 million euros, and the rest is bonuses, linked to the number of appearances, which can significantly reduce Barca's salary expenditure.
After a salary cut to renew Umtiti, Barca sent another high-paid player, Coutinho, who voluntarily gave up the loan fee in order to send him away, and Coutinho also gave up part of his salary, and finally he was able to join Villa. You know, Coutinho's annual salary is 24 million euros, and half a year is 12 million euros. Barca sent him away, which can be said to free up a lot of salary space. However, here Barca would like to thank Gerald, if it were not for Gerrard's persuasion, Coutinho would not have gone to Villa, let alone a salary cut of 4 million to join Villa.
Finally, speaking of Barca's reinforcements, Barca this winter, in order to register players, the annual salary offered to them is not high, of which the highest annual salary is Torres, but his annual salary is only 5.5 million euros. This was followed by Traore, who earned only €350,000 for half a season. The two veterans, Alves and Aubameyang, both hold the lowest salary, a weekly salary of 5,000 euros. Barca can persuade these players to accept such a salary standard, and it has to be said that Barça executives still have a set.
Barca sent some marginal people away and signed four players at the same time, Aubameyang, Torres and Traore strengthened the team's frontcourt attack, while Alves can solve the problem on the right side of the team, it can be said that Barca's reinforcement in this winter window is very successful, of course, the most important thing is that Barca also reduced the salary expenditure in the winter window, such an operation is not convincing. With such a good start, Barça's reinforcements this summer are also expected, so that Barça is not too far from returning to the peak!
