Zapping World Eleven EXCLUDED: Christopher Nkunku’s “Little Brother” interview!
This summer, Barça was one, if not the great animator of the transfer window. Determined to build a team capable of quickly picking up trophies, Joan Laporta has activated various economic “levers” allowing him to inject fresh money into transfers. Following this, Robert Lewandowski, Jules Koundé, Raphinha, Franck Kessié or even Andreas Christensen came to settle in Catalonia while Ousmane Dembélé extended his contract. Substantial investments which should have been compensated by departures, or at least salary cuts, which was not the case.
De Jong and Depay still targeted
With this in mind, the winter transfer window should be agitated, but in the direction of departures this time, as the daily reveals Sport in its current edition. Indeed, aware of the situation, the management will try to send four big salaries: the two Spaniards Gérard Piqué and Jordi Alba, as well as the two Dutchmen Frenkie De Jong and Memphis Depay. These four men were already at the heart of questions about their future in recent weeks, and if they finally continued the adventure in La Liga, it is possible that he will not end the season in the jersey of Barça. Departures which, if finalized, would surely allow the club to relaunch the Bernardo Silva file.
to summarize
Xavi Hernandez wants to slim down this winter by parting with four big salaries in the Barça workforce: Memphis Depay, Frenkie De Jong, Gerard Pique and Jordi Alba. The four players were already pushed out this summer.
