It has to be said that since Laporta took office, the operation of Barca is indeed better than Bartomeu, after solving a series of big problems, and has introduced a lot of strong reinforcements, the key is that the transfer fee is not much, and it can be used, which may be the ability of the current Barça management. This summer is bound to have people go and people coming, whether Haaland can become the first strong reinforcement this summer, we will wait and see, but the departure of some players will be very critical.
If you want to bring in Haaland, in addition to the salary requirements, you also need to vacate the position, after all, Barça is now overcrowded, the first team has gone beyond the range, some players who are really not suitable for Barca, leaving this summer has become a foregone conclusion, and Barca's captain has also reached the time to renew his contract, but the recent news does not seem to be friendly.
Roberto is a La Masia player, his highlight moment is undoubtedly Barca's last goal to reverse the big Paris, in the game, Roberto is also a golden presence, Barca which position is vacant, there will be Roberto to fill, but this also makes Roberto have no place of his own, coupled with age, more injuries, Barca's possibility of renewing Roberto is getting smaller and smaller.
There has been a lot of news about Roberto recently, but it is Barca who are reluctant to offer the contract, and Roberto is recuperating from his injury and is also waiting for Barca's contract. In fact, through the previous renewal news, it can be known that Roberto has no hope of renewing Barca. Because when Laporta first took office, the Barca captain had already abandoned the contract extension.
After Laporta took office, he behaved very toughly, and made a very big effort in the salary reduction and renewal of the player, you know, Bartomeu in order to sign the player, the high salary once exceeded the value of the player, and the incompetence in the reinforcement, so that many players can not help Barca, but can still get a high salary.
So the salary cut has become the first priority after Laporta took office, starting with the four captains, after Messi left, the four captains are Busquets, Pique, Alba and Roberto, all four are La Masia players, their salary level is indeed not too high if according to the peak year, but for the salary structure of the whole team, the captain must lead by example to be able to balance the salary structure.
Pique was very high-profile for the salary cut and renewal, but then the media broke out that Pique's contract extension was conditional, as for the true and false, there was no discussion, and the salary cuts of Busquets and Alba also set an example for other players, but Roberto refused the adjustment of the contract.
On the one hand, Roberto did not accept Barca's salary reduction contract at the beginning because he believed that his salary was low enough that there was no room for decline, on the other hand, Roberto chose to reduce his salary to renew his contract, which should still be conditional. For example, increase the renewal period. Rejected by Barca. So at that time, after Laporta took office, it has been rumored that the four captains have been reduced and renewed, and only Roberto has not cut his salary according to the club's wishes.
World Sports: Barca revealed that Roberto is reluctant to renew his contract with a salary cut, and the players deny this
The situation now is that Roberto has to take a pay cut if he wants to get another contract, and the player denies the fact that he is reluctant to take it. But what is certain now is that since Roberto turned down a salary cut contract after Laporta took office, he has no hope of renewing his contract with Barca.
