Jorge Mendes as of late burned through two days in Barcelona, supposedly chipping away at the fates of Barcelona winger Ansu Fati and Wolverhampton Drifters midfielder Ruben Neves. Helena Condis, a journalist for COPE, claims that the Portuguese superagent has been offering Neves to Barcelona for months (via Relevo).
In any case, the Catalan monsters accept players, for example, Martin Zubimendi and Sofyan Amrabat suit the turn job more. In the meantime, debate continues regarding Fati’s future at Barcelona. The 20-year-old wants to stay at Spotify Camp Nou, but Mendes has suggested that Barca trade him for Neves and cash in exchange for him.
This could help Barcelona’s monetary fair play (FFP) circumstance generally as it would assist them with opening up an enormous compensation space on their books. In the event of a trade, Barca could value Fati at €70 million, while Wolves could value Neves at €50 million.
After that, the players would switch clubs, and Barca would get €20 million in cash. Subsequently, Barca can then get a fair play of 70 + 20 = €90 million on their books. The amortization of his transfer fee from the first year, or €12.5, will be deducted from this amount if Neves signs a four-year contract.
As a result, Barca will be able to put €77.5 million in their favor on paper as a result of this deal, which will significantly improve their FFP situation. However, completing the move is not an easy task. Barca isn’t completely persuaded by Neves (26), while Fati is inflexible about remaining with the Blaugrana, paying little mind to what his dad might have said about the club recently.
Xavi was dissatisfied with the way Barcelona ended the Osasuna victory :
Barcelona needed to hold on until the 85th moment to score their solitary objective of the La Liga match against Osasuna on May 2. At home, the Catalan giants made 21 attempts and controlled 77% of the ball. However, they wasted a lot of time in front, managing just four shots within the goal’s confines.
Osasuna expected to get a point out of this game in the wake of being diminished to 10 men in the 27th moment. Barca continued to put pressure and won in the perishing ashes of the game.
Xavi said, via Marca (h/t Football-Espana) after the final whistle:
“I believe we suffered excessively. We have clearly missed chances. They have done a good job of defending, but Jordi got his goal in the end. This is a very important step. La Liga is close to winning.” Barca is close to winning their first La Liga championship since the 2018-19 campaign. With just five games remaining, they are 13 points ahead of Real Madrid, who are in second place.
