Maybe it’s because the lack of cash forces us to be foresighted, but we are just entering March and Barça are already working on the field to pick up reinforcements for next season. First with a visit to London to convince Chelsea midfielder Christensen and another to Munich to seduce Haaland. Accustomed to clockwork signings and inscriptions, this is already good news and a nice anomaly, because it implies that planning for the future has been designed in time. There is little doubt about Operation Haaland that it is destined to mark an era wherever it goes, as long as it is respected by the frequent injuries it suffers, and it also seems clear that Barça managers interpret it the same way if we pay attention. on Xavi’s lightning trip to Munich to meet face to face with the player and, supposedly, let him know that he would be happy to have him at the helm of his project.
Sportingly, then, there is little more debate than wondering if the future of Barça is to have a big santcristo on whose goals the luck of the team revolves or to fertilize the delicious chorality that the Pedri, Gavi, Ferran Torres and company, although I sense that Xavi has already thought of this and is opting for goals – now Haaland’s and Messi’s years ago – to make a charming machine lethal and a winner. The furry issue is economics. Figures of the total amount of Haaland’s signing, which would be half the cost of the new Camp Nou, are beginning to emerge. And higher they will end up being if that ends up, it seems, in an auction. Nothing to say about the value of the Norwegian, or what he asks for, because the players who make a difference have always asserted themselves. The thing is, we’ve been here for a while now with Neymar, an undisputed signing, with such a disastrous and obscure management that he ended up shattering the balance of the salary scale of the workforce and the global economy. club.
If Haaland ends up coming in these conditions, and it can’t be otherwise because other more powerful clubs are also celebrating him, he will have to justify his salary, which is much higher than that of the rest of Barça’s teammates with cuts. If not here’s a new product just for you! And we have to spin very thin because we are talking about amounts that could collapse the club’s treasury before it has re-floated. It’s almost as scary as it is awake.
