Piqué does not believe it. But it's true: the operation of 100 million at Barça

The Catalan central and the hardest truth at the Camp Nou

Gerard Piqué was left with his mouth open when he learned about the operation they want to carry out this summer at the Camp Nou . And the surprise has not been for the names involved, but for the number.

And is that Josep Maria Bartomeu and its board intends to take 100 million for the five sales that will be carried out in the coming months. An amount that the central is not created.

The discards of Barça

Among other things because the names that appear in the list of departures are of players that the club will have to give practically to get rid of them. And the list is made up of names like Rafinha , Munir , Paco Alcácer , André Gomes and Aleix Vidal .

With the numbers in hand, if each of them contributed, with its output, 20 million , yes that would reach 100 . But, seeing the offers that are arriving for them to the offices azulgranas, do not square.

None has a market of clubs that are willing to be a millionaire for them. As usual in these cases, Barça bought them at the price of gold, and will be sold for amounts that even ridicule the club.

His poor performance has made Ernesto Valverde have had to play all season with 13 or 14 players. The barça bench level is not what it should be, hence the club's urgency to enter millions. But, as Piquéwell knows (and much of the board) the figure of 100 million is nothing more than a utopia.

Enter to spend

And, in Barcelona they have been spending a lot for a few months. Among the signings of Ousmane Dembélé , Philippe Coutinho and Paulinho , added to the generous renewals of, among others, Leo Messi and Gerard himself , the club is short in the face of the operations that will take place this summer.

They know that, if Griezmann finally arrives (which is getting complicated), he will not do it for less than 100 million. That would be the best scenario. In the event that the Gaul finally stays in the Metropolitan Wanda , the club must go in search of another striker. And, sure, none of those that appear on the list will be cheaper than the mattress.

An economic situation that is difficult to solve and that, no matter how much is being sold by the club that will be paid a lot with sales of discards, the reality is different. And it is not exactly hopeful.
