Barcelona continues to work on new ways to strengthen the team. Although last week’s results against Atletico Madrid, above all, gave Xavi Hernandez the air of qualifying for the Champions League against Napoli, the truth is that Joan Laporta realizes that with the current team it will be very difficult to remain in the elite for a long time
For this reason, the Barcelona president ordered Deco to work on signing a midfielder who would give Barcelona a new life and, in addition, would impress the fans. This is the beauty of Musiala. However, his arrival will not be free, but will mean the departure of one of the great references that the Keulers have had in the midfield in recent years, Pedri or Gavi
The Bayern Munich player has established himself as one of Europe’s biggest stars this season. His ability to unbalance and drive when it comes to organizing the game, at just 21 years old, makes him an elite player. If you add to these qualities his ability to achieve big numbers when contributing goals, thanks to his 12 goals and 7 assists this season, he remains one of the best players in the world. This is also reflected in the €110 million value provided by Transmarket
But it is widely known that Barcelona is unable to accept such a price. At least in light of the current economic situation. For this reason, Laporta realizes that he will have to immediately look for financial resources to carry out the operation. The easiest way is to sell players like Pedri or Javi
Intuitively, it may seem that exchanging these terms does not benefit Barcelona. Both players are Spanish, have already adapted to the Blaugrana style and showed their quality at the Camp Nou. But given the financial issues that have plagued both over the past year, the possibility of a sale doesn’t seem so far-fetched
In fact, by Transmarket standards, neither of them reached €100 million. A fact that cannot be explained without the cruciate ligament injury that Javi suffered with the Spanish national team or Pedri’s constant muscle setbacks in his thigh. Before his price continues to decline or his return to the field is not as expected, Laporta prefers to make a financial profit that allows him to bring in a player of the same or higher quality than them. As an example of how injuries can impact a promising performance, just see the case of Ansu Fati
