Calendar of FC Barcelona

The cleaning of changing room is one of the big aims of Joan Laporta in the beginning of his second stage like president of the FC Barcelona. The club is in the need of 'undo' of the players with which does not explain Ronald Koeman of face to the season 2021-2022, but also there are other factors that influence in the taking of decisions of the culés to the moment to execute the 'operation gone out', that go much more there of the sportive subject.

In this point, for the Barça has more weight the economic appearance that the virtues of the players in the terrain of game, in a lot of the cases. The Barcelona are forced to reduce in 50% his mass salarial to be able to inscribe to the new signings and of there that the club do not think twice in giving exit to a player if there is some opportunity in the market.

Although it is true that there is varied in the ramp of exit, Antoine Griezmann and Philippe Coutinho are carrying all the focuses in the last weeks by the insistence of the Barça in traspasarlos the sooner possible. SOr exit of the club would suppose an immense economic break for the culés, since they are two of the footballers with index cards higher: the French earns some 32 million euros to the year, whereas 'Cou' (lesionado from December) perceives 24 'kilos' by season, as you report them.

Not to have them in the staff would be a relief, certainly, but is not the only that values the Barça at present. If the club achieves traspasarlos by the value that still have to pay by his amortizaciones (72 and 44 million euros, respectively), the saving in the mass salarial of the first staff would reduce in something more than 100 millions for the next exercise, as it remembers the newspaper 'Mark'.

It fits to remember that the Barça fichó to 'Grizzi' by 120 millions from the Atleti, by five seasons, by what remains for amortising still 72 'kilos'. In the case of the Brazilian, remain him two years of agreement in which the group blaugrana has to desembolsillar, still, 44 million euros. In summary, if the club achieves them sell by his real price, would be an ideal situation.

To the Barça remains him insist

The 'Principito' is the one who more near is to go out of the Camp Nou. From it does some weeks is working in a possible barter with the Athletic of Madrid, with Saúl Ñíguez in the operation. The big problem is that the value of the midfield player is very inferior to the of the French forward and the 'colchoneros' do not want to pay the difference neither include to more players in the exchange, reason by which the negotiations are taking more than the expected.

In the case of Coutinho, the situation is much more complex because still there is not team that was really interested in doing with his index card. Besides, from the Barça are perfectly conscious that any club goes to pay more than 20 millions by him and would need 24 more to cancel his amortización and that the balance was not negative after his exit. In any case, have sounded the Everton, Arsenal, AC Milan or Marseilles like possible destinations, but has not concretised at all until the moment.
