Whether you obey it or not, I do it anyway.
This winter transfer window, Barca finally made a big move. With the dust settled on Aubameyang's joining Barca, Laporta introduced 3 frontcourt players for Barca in this winter window, although for Barca, the urgently needed back and central defender reinforcement are still missing, Barca's revival of glory is still a dream of hope, but Laporta's old spicy in the transfer market must let Barca fans see hope.
At a cost of 55 million pounds, he poached the current Spanish team's striker first choice, Ferran Torres, and in the case of Barca's financial explosion, Laporta's boldness is indeed not comparable to Bartomeu. The transfer deal ranks second in spending in this particular winter window.
If you only talk about the level of spending money, it is really humiliating la porta's talent. Ferran Torres has a leisurely and comfortable life in Manchester City, but it is rare to come here to accompany Barca to start a hard business, and the key Torres has voluntarily reduced his salary.
Although he was only a spare tire in manchester City, Torres's annual salary was also as high as 9.2 million euros, which was simply unbearable for Barca, but Torres was willing to reduce his salary by nearly half - only 5.5 million euros. If Torres's choice can be explained by the "dream of a child", then the loan deal between Coutinho, Traore and Aubameyang, even if you don't like Laporta anymore, you have to silently praise his business ability.
Coutinho, who was introduced by Bartomeu for 160 million euros, became a burden to Barca, but it was not the lack of Brazilian midfield ability, it was really a system problem, and the sin of money.
After Laporta returned to the helm, she always wanted to clean Coutinho, but Coutinho's annual salary was too high to be taken over, and Barca could only break his teeth and swallow in his stomach. This winter window, Laporta finally sold Coutinho, although it was only on loan, but compared to the "loyal" Dembele and Umtiti, this wave of operations has relieved Barca - not only freeing up to bear Torres' salary, but also allowing Coutinho to give up 6 million euros.
The return of Adama Traore, an alternative gem of La Masia's youth training, can only be regarded as a belonging of feelings. The breakthrough and dog-like winger will certainly not be Barca's savior, and the focus of the deal is that Barca will be on loan from Traore until the end of the season, at which Barca will have the right to buy out for 30 million euros.
Barca will not enforce this preferential buyout, two said. The beauty of Laporta's poaching of Traore from the Premier League is that he only needs to pay Traore 350,000 euros for half a season – Traore's annual salary at Wolves is 2.4 million euros, which is equivalent to a salary cut of 850,000 euros.
Not convinced? Whether on loan or back on loan, Laporte has a lot of wool. And that's not all, Aubameyang's loan is even more mysterious.
After Aubameyang and Arsenal terminated their contract, they got a severance payment of 8 million euros, according to Aubameyang's salary at Arsenal, he can still receive a salary of 18 million euros in the remaining half season, and there is a difference of 10 million euros in between, and how much can Barca compensate Aubameyang?
The answer is – 5,000 euros per month! That's 35,000 euros, exactly the same as Traore.
Whether you like La porta, the more skilled president, he is indeed the only person Barca can count on now, whether his operation in this winter window can bring about a change for barca now, as long as he continues to take the helm, Barça has hope, after all, he is a person who can compete with Florentino.
Although this hope is still very slim, it is always there.
