The ultimate in small fights! From Romeu to Felix, interpret Barca's idea of signing

Barca's latest moves in the transfer market, the first is the official signing of La Masia - bald head - iron-waist Romeu, followed by Felix himself expressed his desire to come to Barca, this deal may become the focus of the next step.

For Romeu, I can fully understand why such a trade happened: Barca already have De Jong, Gundogan, Pedri and Garvey, and whether it is a four-midfielder, three-midfielder or a two-back and two-front combination in the new season, the four of them are the normal choice to start first.

Because Gundogan and De Jong's annual salaries are both 18 million before tax, and Pedri and Garvey are around 10 million before tax, there is little room for Casey to stay in the team between 13 million and 14 million a year before tax.

After all, playing substitutes with such a high annual salary, or even the option of the 12th man, is somewhat a luxury. Just saying that giving up Kessie and leaving the Barca midfielder without the elements of strength and individual physical confrontation would be a major loss.

Because of his high salary, Kaisy is unlikely to buy transfer fees from other leagues except Saudi Arabia. Juve will lease, but 15 million may not necessarily be a forced buyout, and will be torn apart for a long time on the option to buyout. Because Barça may not agree, after all, he still has a 2-year contract for one year of rental, if it plays value, it is not a bad thing for Barca from an economic point of view (not to talk about competition).

So that's why Romeu was signed, because Romeu has a strong tackle and confrontational temperament, and he can theoretically compensate for some of the power confrontation elements.

The problem is that Romeu is too slow, there will be a big problem when talking to the strong in the Champions League, and the addition of this element is not enough (Xavi chose Amrabat from the first choice to Argentine defender Guido Rodriguez, and then to Romeu, in fact, you can understand the need to add strength elements).

Interestingly, Romeu's transfer fee will come from his future annual salary of 1 million. The question is what is his annual salary in Girona? Coming to Barça, you can also use your future annual salary to reverse part of the transfer fee, so the interesting thing is how much will Barca give him an annual salary, how much higher than when he was in Girona?

The last highlight is Felix, who himself announced that he is coming to Barca, which is very interesting.

Barca and Atletico are unlikely to talk about a transfer, only on loan. Atletico can accept tens of millions of rent transactions (Chelsea loan for half a year 15 million euros, Atletico should be satisfied), so with Felix's annual cost of 25 million (loan + annual salary).

There is a theoretical possibility that Barca will send Ferran Torres to Atletico Madrid and then offset 15-20 million euros. However, Ferran's annual salary is as high as 11 million, which may be unaffordable for Atletico and may become a problem.

So the deal will be quite complicated, but the general direction is definitely for Barca to loan Felix and pay rent at the same time. But how Barça can complete the transaction without spending cash is an interesting game point.
