Barca asks who to buy, that person " Suddenly has a price... cut off"
This is a real story and Barca is a poor player with a huge sum of money in hand. Neymar's move to PSG at a record price broke all transfer barriers in the world of football and, as a result, Barca also received unprecedented offers.
"The whole village" knows that Barca has a stack of money in hand and from there, whenever the Catalan team asks to buy a player, regardless of talent or class, the price of that goal is immediately increased by a dozen times. Before the 2017 summer transfer window, many Barca fans were uncertain who Ousmane Dembele was. However, Dortmund are now demanding 100 million euros from Barca before allowing him to leave.
Not only Dembele, other names such as Paulo Dybala or Philppe Coutinho are also proof that Barca is now a target for every club to press. A typical example is the Dybala case, Juventus demanded up to 125 million euros with countless binding terms if Barca wanted this Argentine striker.
Spending money but not being able to buy anyone... giving up
Although he has a lot of money to sell Neymar, up to now, Barca has only had one contract, Paulinho - a former player of... Guangzhou Huang Dai, a club from the Chinese National Championship.
Before going to China to play football, Paulinho played for Tottenham and has some experience in top-level competition in Europe. However, that was not enough compared to the expectations to fill the position Neymar left behind.
On the day Paulinho debuted at Nou Camp, there were only about 2,000 people coming to watch, this number equal to 1/49 of the number of audiences coming to watch Neymar take the first steps on the Nou Camp pitch 4 years ago. Worse still, in the performance in front of 2,000 people, Paulinho even missed a few times in the most basic moves. The audience streaked back and forth and throughout the day, the number of Paulinho-printed jerseys sold outside the Nou Camp stadium was only 1.
Who is after Paulinho? Up to now, Barca has not yet responded to their fans. Continuously pressured and at times Barca was forced to break all financial regulations to "show off" Coutinho, but at this point, the answer that the team at Nou Camp received was just a cool headshake from the partners.
How can't I buy, Barca people are mocked
On the morning of August 23, Barcelona's Twitter page posted a status that had officially purchased Angel Di Maria with a photo of this player wearing a red-green striped shirt. Immediately, all social networking sites related to Barca and news sites in Spain continuously reported that this club had escaped the transfer crisis with the Argentine "ange". However, just 1 hour after the twitt was posted, Barca removed it and reported that the account had been hacked by a blogger, spreading false information.
It is not uncommon for social media accounts to be hacked by hackers, but it is unknown which hackers are so "free" that they tease the hearts of the wounded at Nou Camp. Di Maria may not be as good as Coutinho or Dybala at the moment, but he is still a big name and will somewhat fill the position left by Neymar.
However, when everyone knew it was a joke, all hope gradually disappeared.
A lot of money but it is not certain how to keep it, especially Messi
When Neymar arrived at PSG, all the rules and hesitation in the transfer market were broken. Now, all clubs are afraid of the bags of money of Arabian owners. PSG has been supported by Qatar to buy Neymar, so there is no reason why the UAE should not do the same for Man City.
Manchester City confirmed that they will spend 300 million euros to break Messi's contract with Barca in the same way PSG did with Neymar. In addition, if they like, the Etihad team can bring in Luis Suarez for 200 million euros.
Although La Liga has officially started, up to this point, Messi has not signed a new contract with the club. This is making Barca's leaders more worried than ever because without Neymar, they have had all the difficulties. If we can't keep Messi anymore, it won't be known where it will go.
