Nobody believed it was possible. Neither the president, nor the fans, nor the world of football. However, the few who believed, and who were confined to a very small group of people, knew that it was going to be a reality. That’s right: in the summer of 2017, Neymar deposited the 222 million euro check signed by Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, freed himself from Barcelona and became the fashion of PSG’s Parc des Princes. Who was left to win? Opinions are divided, but there is one point on which everyone agrees: it was a big boost for the Catalans, who not only misinvested the money received (and in an inflated way) but also strengthened the club in the face of the imminence of the bankruptcy in the last year. . You read that right: bankruptcy. The presidency changed, Messi left and out of nowhere your blaugrana they became kings of the market.

Without very palpable income in terms of departures, with Aston Villa exercising the option of 20 million euros for Philippe Coutinho and Sporting paying three million for the transfer of Trincao, which will increase to a total of ten million at the end of the season for 50% of the pass (Lenglet also left but on loan to Tottenham), Barça has already spent more than 100 million euros only in two players: Raphinha, a Brazilian international winger who went through V. Guimarães and Sporting and now stood out at Leeds, which cost 58 million euros plus seven variables and Lewandowski, a 33-year-old striker who was a year away from finishing his contract but it cost 45 million plus five variables. But it won’t stop here.
???????????? A BRUTAL front
???? Lewandowski, Ansu Fati, Dembélé, Raphinha, Ferran Torres, Aubameyang, Menfis, Abde

In addition to the zero-cost signings of central defender Christensen (Chelsea) and midfielder Kessié (AC Milan) for having the pass after their contracts expire, the Spanish press reports a reserve for another €50 million attack against the French central defender. Kounde, of Sevilla. In parallel, also Azpilicueta could be closer to heading to Catalonia, in what will be another of Xavi Hernández’s wishes. It is true that Joan Laporta, the president who returned to office in the elections that elected Josep Maria Bartomeu’s successor, has made several the naming rightstechnology and even loans (bearing in mind that the Camp Nou will undergo a renovation) but everyone doubts the prosperity… even the rivals.

With a completely stable financial situation (It is enough to remember, for example, that in 2020/21, a season marked by the impact of the pandemic, it was the only champion of the main leagues to take advantage of situations of great losses of Atl. Madrid or Inter), Bayern Despite everything, he returned to attack the market in a weighted way: he spent 117.5 million euros on Matthjis De Ligt, Sadio Mané and Ryan Gravenberch (the Ajax Mazraoui side signed at zero cost) but received 67.4 million with the departures by Lewandowski, Marc Roca, Omar Richards and Lars Lukas Mai, having also to make this greater investment for two exits at zero cost that were already expected, by Niklas Süle and Corentin Tolisso.
Bayern, probably the best club in the world. Probably not, sure. And he has a lot to teach others.
And it was by looking at this reality and comparing it with that of Barcelona that Julian Nagelsman, coach of the Bavarians, left questions in the air in the first comment on Lewandowski’s departure to the Camp Nou. “Barcelona is the only club that has no money and then buys all the players it wants. I don’t know how they do it. It’s a little weird and crazy”, he commented on the financial availability of the coolie, that this morning they thrashed Inter Miami 6-0 with the main figure… the reinforcement Raphinha.
