Bayern coach Nagelsmann was recently surprised by FC Barcelona’s transfer policy. Its president did not hesitate long to respond to the criticism.

The president of FC Barcelona, ​​Joan Laporta, has countered with sharp words critical comments from Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann on the purchasing policy of the financially troubled Spanish football club. “Everyone should take care of their own things,” said Laporta on Thursday evening in New York. He said the critical comments had something to do with “ignorance”, but also with concern about the renewed competition. “Barça is back!” Laporta assured journalists.

Nagelsmann surprised: “It’s kind of crazy”

A week ago, Nagelsmann expressed his astonishment that the club, which owes 1.35 billion euros, was able to strengthen this summer with expensive stars such as world footballer Robert Lewandowski, who had been ripped off by Bayern, or Brazilian Raphinha from Leeds United. “It’s not just Lewy, they buy a lot of players – I don’t know how. It’s the only club in the world that has no money but buys any player they want. It’s kind of weird, kind of crazy.” said Nagelsmann.
