Barcelona, with the salary mass exceeded, is not very optimistic with being able to close the transfers of footballers like Lenglet or Kessié. Time advances and the entity needs to look for alternatives to be able to register the contracts of the renewed Marcos Alonso, Sergi Roberto and Iñaki Peña; update Ronald Araújo's file and of course be able to register the newcomers Gündogan, Iñigo Martínez and Oriol Romeu.
Beyond the contracts of the renewed and newcomers, Barcelona has also committed to renewing their ties with Alejandro Balde and Lamine Yamal. The first until 2028. The second for three more years. Both signatures must be sealed during the month of August.
To achieve this without having to terminate player contracts, the club's institutional staff is outlining a new economic operation these days in Los Angeles to sell a club asset that generates more income and therefore financial fair play.
The economic operation that Barcelona wants to activate already has the approval of LaLiga since the employers' association approved it in the feasibility plan that the Blaugrana club presented in April.
At the same time, the sports management continues to work on the departures of players such as Nico, who is already in Portugal, Collado and Julián Araújo, who, despite being called up for the tour, has ruled out joining to find a new club. The Mexican winger points to Las Palmas de Garcia Pimienta. Yes, the transferables Lenglet and Kessié are on the tour.
With a salary of 16.046 million euros for the next course, Lenglet was one of the players who renewed after individually agreeing on their conditions in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic. He signed through 2026 with deferred salary. Tottenham, the team in which he has played on loan this season, wanted to sign him but everything has stopped.
For his part, Kessié received an offer from Saudi Arabia with a net salary of 14 million euros while Barça would enter around 20 million with his departure. However, at 26, Kessié would like to continue playing among the elite of European football. He has a contract until 2026.
