The faith the board are placing in the scouts in order to spend such a ridiculous sum on a teenager must be immense. For this sort of money this kid almost has to be a guaranteed superstar.

Not like we are throwing him to the wolves. He’ll have Palmer and Madueke ahead of him so he can be integrated.

And what happens with Paez, Angelo, and Omari Hutchinson? Feels like we’ve gone WAY overboard signing all these teenaged wingers who will all be around the same age. 

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

Quite a bit of money for someone with only potential, no experience. Really hope he is as good as they say. Physically he looks extraordinarily lanky, more so than the average 17 yo with his twiggy bones. Let’s hope he does not get eaten alive in PL.

Especially since they are all left footers, preferably coming off the right all four of them lol. Same as Madueke and Palmer. There really seems to strategy behind them other than stockpiling talent. Even with our injury record potentially 6 players for one position is excessive. I assume kendry can be more of a midfielder, Estev more of a striker while angelo and omari can play as no 10 and LW as well. Nonetheless 2 of them will be sold within the next 15 months for sure

[Vesper 30,193]

Florian Wirtz is staying at Leverkusen next season

so another monster off the board

[Vesper 30,193]

only top 20 valuation player on the planet who is still on the board is Osimhen 

[Vesper 30,193]

Maatsen scored again for Dortmund

[ZAPHOD2319 4,819]

Important to note that Poch had no say in Bernardo joining his staff. Sporting directors told him he was coming because of our set piece performance. 

[Mhsc 1,097]

Estevao can join us from 2025 when he turns 18 they say, but wont he also need to gain a work permit? Couldn't that also take years?

Barcelona's Ronald Araujo on the brink of exit amid financial struggles

https://www.planetsport.com/soccer/news/barcelonas-ronald-araujo-on-the-brink-of-exit-amid-financial-struggles

FC Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo is reportedly on the verge of being sold this summer as the club grapples with severe financial woes.

The Uruguayan centre-back, once seen as a cornerstone for the future, now appears to be a prime candidate for departure.

Sources from Barca Reservat indicate that Araujo's disenchantment began following the club's reaction to his error against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League quarter-finals. Barcelona ended up crashing out of the tournament 6-4 on aggregate. 

Despite public reassurances from President Joan Laporta about renewing Araujo's contract, no satisfactory offer has materialized.

"Araujo has felt undervalued," reports suggest, highlighting the lack of tangible support from the club. 

Although he signed a reduced contract in 2022 with promises of an improved deal soon after, Barcelona's current financial limitations have stalled any significant renegotiations. 

This has left Araujo feeling edged out, especially as lucrative offers from other clubs loom.

Interest in Araujo is high. Bayern Munich engaged in discussions with him in January, although contact has since ceased. More pressing, perhaps, is Manchester United's reported readiness to swoop in should Araujo indicate his willingness to leave Barcelona.

The club's financial predicament makes Araujo's sale a logical yet bittersweet decision. Comparatively, fellow youngster Pedri's market value has declined, highlighting the contrasting fortunes within the squad.

Barcelona's need to balance their books could mean losing a promising talent like Araujo, a move that underscores the harsh realities facing the club in these challenging financial times.
