"I expect to win a lot of titles, therefore I have come", those were the first words of the Dutch forward, of 27 years of age, Memphis Depay, the one who in the last four seasons and average was a member of the Olympique of Lyon, of France. At last it is in the City Condal and did not hide his ambitions in this new stage for him with the FC Barcelona. The signing of the also attacker of the Low Countries, represents the philosophy of the Barça that is building around the Argentinian Leo Messi and to "cost zero" or with the minor of the possible costs.
As well it has aimed previously, the aim of the Catalan entity is to reduce the mass salarial (in 50%, roughly) to fulfil with the 'fair play' financial of LaLiga and like this can inscribe to Leo Messi in the staff with his new agreement, after it left to be player of the Barça after the vencimiento of the previous the past 30 June. In this sense, the mentioned appearances have fulfilled to cabalidad in the three first signings of the era of the president of the Barcelona, Joan Laporta.
Up to now, they have done three signings to cost zero: Depay, the one who already finds in the City Condal and has fulfilled with his first training under the orders of the trainer Ronald Koeman; the Spanish defender Eric García and the Argentinian forward Sergio 'Kun' Agüero, those who arrived also free pertinent of the Manchester City, of the Premier League of England. And to finish have invested nine million euros in recovering to the Brazilian side Emerson Royal, the one who has recalado afterwards of his experience in the Real Betis.
Of agreement to the information advanced by the same Laporta during an interview offered to the newspaper The Avant-garde, and detailed a bit more bottom by the journalist of Sport Lluís Mascaró, the mandamás of the culés wants to do other three incorporations. In concrete, a defence, a midfield player and a forward, but under the same economic parameter: "that avenge free or through exchanges". In fact, it is the is stirring with the French Antoine Griezmann, the one who could return to the Athletic of Madrid, and the Brazilian Philippe Coutinho, although this case is more complicated that the first.
The following step
Taking into account that all are transferibles less Ter Stegen, Pedri, Of Jong, Riqui Puig and Messi, no descarta that an operation like which carried to García, Depay and Agüero to the Camp Nou repeat . For this, only would suffice to see the réditos that go leaving the operation gone out of Laporta and the discount to the wages of the players of the staff of the first team, in addition to the fulfillment of the debts for definitively sanear the accounts.
