Zapping World Eleven EXCLUDED: Kalidou Koulibaly’s “Little Brother” interview!
It was Gerard Romero who announced it: the president of FC Barcelona and the owner of Valencia had lunch together on Tuesday. Information that could be anecdotal if the transfer window did not approach and Barça was not looking for funds.
Would it be to discuss transfers? As we know, midfielder Carlos Soler is in the sights of the Blaugranas. But this is not the only profile on which the two clubs are discussing. In search of a left side to replace Alba, José Gaya would have been offered to FC Barcelona in addition to Soler during this exchange. Martin Braithwaite is of interest to the batting club and could go the other way.
An upcoming investment?
Or is it to talk about investment? Owner of 50% of the shares of Salford City and 100% of Valencia CF, Peter Lim might want to invest in the other Catalan club. With a fortune estimated at 2.6 billion dollars in 2021, the Singaporean businessman would be an option for Barça who are actively seeking funding. An arrival of Lim in the capital of FC Barcelona would facilitate the Soler files but also Lewandowski, for which Laporta needs funds.
❗️Right now, Joan Laporta and Valencia owner Peter Lim are having lunch in Barcelona.

to summarize
Joan Laporta and Peter Lim were spotted having lunch together on Tuesday. The discussions would have focused on Soler, Gaya and Braithwaite who are part of the hot issues between the two clubs but an investment by Lim in FC Barcelona cannot be ruled out.
