The Barcelona finished the market of signings with a big prick. Josep María Bartomeu abandoned the night of yesterday the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper without achieving fichar to the greater wishes of Ronald Koeman: the Dutch forward Memphis Depay, of the Olympique Lyon, and Eric García, the Spanish defence of the Manchester City. The intention of Samuel Umtiti and Ousmane Dembélé to remain in the club were the limitantes.

The exit of Luis Suárez, Arturo Vidal or Ivan Rakitić had the intention to relieve the big load salarial of the Barça, that will save around 80 million euros in wages. However, the actions of the club were not sufficient to fulfil the wishes of the Dutch technician that arrived to Can Barça during this summer to revolutionise to the team.

Neither Depay neither Eric García, at least for the beginning of campaign. The two players were the guinda of the cake of a window of transfer very moved in the City Condal. They arrived Sergiño Dest, Francisco Trincao, Pedri, Miralem Pjanic, Matheus Fernandes, and repescó to Philippe Coutinho, yielded in the Bayern, and Carles Aleñá, the one who was in the Betis. Besides, they rose to the first team Ansu Fati, Riqui Puig and Ronald Araújo, three canteranos that have all the possibilities to triumph in the first staff.

The club attained to manage the exit of Jean-Clair Todibo, yielded in the Benfica by two seasons and of Rafinha, that arrived to the Paris Saint-Germain by three million euros in variables, but was not sufficient. From the directive, expected that Samuel Umtiti and Ousmane Dembélé abandoned the club, after Ronald Koeman communicated them that it did not have any of the two. The refusal of the players ocasionó that the club remained without the two stars that expected fichar.

Depay And Eric García wanted to be culés

The Barça had attained to arrive to an agreement with the Dutch forward of the Lyon does a month. With the French club, that had been reluctant to the traspaso because of the importance that has Depay in the offensive, agreed the signing does a pair of days, but the refusal of Dembélé to go out braked the operation.

In the case of Eric García, the one who had manifested his wish to go back to the club where bred , the big quantity that asked the Manchester City retained it in England. The Barcelona was not in conditions to pay the 20 millions (10 fixed and 10 in variables) that asked the 'citizens', although the central only has agreement to the end of the season.

Anyway, as they aim several English means, Eric García would have communicated him to the directive of the City that his wish is to go back to the Barcelona and will do it for the next season, when it culminate his agreement and turn into free agent.

Koeman Can pay expensive the fact of rotar little
