OFFICIAL! Barça signs Koundé
The soap opera is over! FC Barcelona has made the signing of Jules Koundé official today, July 28, through a statement. The French central defender arrives in Barcelona after quick negotiations between Barça and Sevilla.
Koundé: “Xavi has been very important”
The defender has explained some of the reasons that have made him opt for Barça’s offer. “I’m excited to be able to fight in all competitions to win them. I want to win titles. Of course Xavi has been important. It’s important for him to get here. I’ve spoken to him several times. His speech has excited me, I think we watch football in the same way and now I hope to be a protagonist in this club”.
How much money has Barça spent so far?
There are 153 million fixed plus 24 in variables that could make a total of 177. Only with the 153 fixed, Barça is already the team that has spent the most on transfers, with a negative balance of 130 million since it has only entered 20 million for the sale of Coutinho and three for the transfer of Trincao.
The new solution that opens up the problem with Frenkie de Jong
The FC Barcelona shuffles several options to solve the subject of the overwhelmed wage mass. Specifically regarding Frenkie de Jong, whose salary is increased this season and completely exceeds the new limits set by the club, different scenarios are studied. One of them, the one that would solve the problem at a stroke and would leave a lot of ‘cash’ in the battered coffers, that of the transfer.
First step in the exit operation: Mingueza leaves for Celta
Xavi Hernández ruled out five players for the American tour. They had to find a new destination and there is the first case that is close to being closed. Òscar Mingueza is well on track to sign him for Celta de Vigo for the next four seasons.
They offer Bernardo Silva to Real Madrid
De Jong is still in the Barça squad and the option of Bernardo Silva wearing a Blaugrana shirt has cooled down. With the door closed for the team led by Xavi Hernández, his representative, Jorge Mendes, has continued to comb the market and, according to the newspaper ‘L’Equipe’, he would have offered the Portuguese to Real Madrid.
