At the beginning of March 2021, Laporta returned to Barca, when he faced a team with a depressed heart and a very high annual salary gap, and the team lacked immediate combat strength and lack of reinforcement funds.
In the face of a poor barca with only a bunch of IOUs, La Porta has only two choices, 1 is completely dependent on youth training, 2 is to open up a road, the local tycoon Barca, never envisioned, loan and visa-free.
Laporta is smart
No matter how much Barca fans hate the decider to let messi go, it cannot be denied that Laporta is a "builder" who is much higher than Bartomeu.
The most different thing is that Bartomeu can't constantly use high prices and high salaries to introduce new big names and play different tricks when the club's finances are in a desperate situation, which is "gambling" in one word!
Laporta, on the other hand, is a man of reality and coldness, who once stepped on the pinnacle of European football with Messi, and when the club could not afford Messi, he could decisively disregard his promises and "drive Messi out of the Camp Nou".
The summer window of 2021 is la Porta's first transfer window after returning to the club, and Barca have made a large-scale move against the team in order to raise funds for the new season and meet the salary cap of La Liga!
Messi was just one of those who left
Admittedly, Messi's departure has had the biggest impact on Barca, but he is only one of the 11 players with names and surnames that Barca left in the summer window of 2021!
In this summer window, Barca let go of Messi, Griezmann, Pianić, Trincon, Filpó, these five players in the 2020/21 season, either the main force, or substitutes, of which Griezmann and Trincon are on loan, which together bring back more than 15 million euros for Barca, and Trincon may now become a "discount coupon" for Barca to introduce new signings.
In addition, new signing Emerson was sold to Tottenham by Barca for 25 million euros, and Barçari used a few games outside and earned 11 million euros; defender Firpo was sold to Leeds United, laPorta's biggest income in the summer window, a total of 15 million euros.
The 22-year-old youngster Todibo and the 24-year-old midfielder Aleña were sold by Barca for 8.5 million euros and 5 million euros respectively, and the entire funds of the sale and loan of these players reached more than 50 million euros, becoming part of Barca's operating funds for the new season.
Griezmann's loan was a last resort
Laporta may not want to sell Griezmann directly and get rid of this high-paying burden, but the 30-year-old Griezmann can't find a new buyer at all, and it all depends on Atletico's "help", Barca can get rid of this burden without a visa.
In addition, Laporta also released a number of "older" youth players, and achieved the ultimate in open source and throttling.
So, how many players did Barca bring in this season? The answer is 6 players, plus 3 youth players promoted.
Among them, the only one who made Barca pay the transfer fee was Demir, an 18-year-old young man, who had already played for Barca in La Liga, and Emerson, who was introduced for 14 million euros, was transferred to Tottenham By Barca less than a month after coming to Barca, and Barca earned 11 million euros!
In addition, Barça free of charge three players, on loan for one player, this is the whole action of Barça in the summer window.
Aguero and Depay joinEd barca
Originally, it was a good summer window, with Aguero and Depa filling the positions that Messi and Griezmann left, Luc De Jong playing as a substitute, and Eric Garcia filling the team's backcourt void.
But with the game kicked and kicked, Aguero retired, leaving only one goal at Barca.
And Depay is indeed Barca earned, the German turnaround price of up to 45 million euros forward, was exempted by Barca, although the performance is average, but as long as Barca sell, it can indeed make a lot of money. However, before Xavi's arrival, Depay was indeed Barca's main attacker, making 28 appearances this season, scoring 10 goals and assisting twice.
Eric Garcia has made a total of 26 appearances for Barca, his joining can only be said to be decent, he did give Barca more options in the backfield, but at the same time, he really has not grown to the main player of Barca's iron play, but he can be free of signs, Barca really does not lose.
The last to be on loan was Luc De Jong, who has made 22 appearances and 10 starts this season, but in fact, the overall playing time is not much, and many minutes of substitute playing.
De Jong has been doing well recently
You say he can't do it, he really scored 6 goals for Barca, you say he can, he is really clumsy, Barca fans generally look down on Luc De Jong, but in recent times many times to stage the savior good play, can only be said to be conscientious, and his header is really good!
La Porta's first transfer window, how many points do you think should be scored?
Soon after, Barca ushered in the winter window, the situation at that time was that Barça had just welcomed back the famous Xavi, the team was weak in attack, Depay and Brycevert were injured, Dembele and Barca were gradually drifting apart in the future, and the team needed to continue to supplement the attacking players.
Laporta did it, and his return, in a way, laid the groundwork for Alves to return to Barca, after which he made 8 appearances for Barca, scoring 1 goal and assisting 3 times.
Barca have added a key player with outstanding footwork to the full-back, in addition to winning the Spanish international Torres for 55 million euros, although he is currently performing average, but this is important for Barca, they need to increase the "West Content".
Ferran Torres made 13 appearances for Barca, scoring five goals and assisting four times.
Aubameyang joined Barca visa-free
In addition, Aubameyang's reluctant joining Ofsa is indeed a miracle in the short term, he can provide Barca with a stable scoring point, while Aubameyang himself will also cut some of his salary, and Arsenal will also bear a part of his salary this season.
Aubameyang has made 10 appearances for Barca, scoring seven goals.
The return of Adama Traoré on loan is also evidence of Laporta's use of the "La Masia System", he is also welcomed by Xavi, after the return, Traoré gave 4 assists in 9 appearances!
A very strange reality is that Barca's 4 new signings in the winter window seem to be better because of better DNA genes, but they are also one of the key reasons for Barca's recent successive victories.
Coutinho became a "victim"
In order to sign these players, Barca had to free up some salary space, for which Barca continued to loan out a number of young players and, most importantly, loaned Coutinho to Aston Villa, which allowed the new signings to register successfully.
And in this year's summer window, a number of media broke the news that Barca is close to finalizing ac Milan midfielder Casey, and is a popular zero-value player, looking at Laporta's operation, Chat Ball Jun can only say that he has performed extremely well, almost the hot free players in the transfer market, have gathered to Barca.
In such a bad economic situation, it is not easy to provide Xavi with so many players and supplement the team, in contrast, Laporta's ability is much higher than Bartomeu's!
Conclusion: Barca still has risks
With Barca beating Galatasaray in two legs to advance to the quarter-finals of the Europa League, their interests damaged by the Champions League are diminishing, one of Barca's most important incomes.
But in successive visa-free players, Barca have to pay higher wages than the normal market price, such as Casey's free barca, it is reported that the annual salary + bonus is about 6.5 million euros after tax, which makes it difficult for some players who have been asked to reduce their salaries, of which Araujo and Roberto are thinking about their future, hoping that Barca can increase the renewal offer.
Barca have a hard time satisfying everyone
If this situation continues, Barca are likely to face the departure of the middle generation of the team due to contract problems, and Barca will bring in "high-priced foreign aid" from other teams with high salaries.
Therefore, it is extremely important for Barca to improve their performance in the Champions League and increase the additional sponsorship income, and Laporta should continue to sell some players in the summer window, streamlining the team while returning funds.
For Barca, the only good news for them is that Laporta has returned decisively before the team continues to sink, and a year after Laporta's return, Liaoqiujun believes that Laporta is qualified as a leading role for Barca, even if he once deceived Messi.
I don't know what you think of Laporta's achievements after his return to Barcelona?
