They're selling a percentage of their future revenue to a third party for a quick cash injection. 

At the beginning of July they already sold 10% of their La Liga broadcasting rights for the next 25 years for €207.5M and now they're selling more to another company at a similar rate. It's a terrible deal for them because even at current values they're losing a ton of money and if/when the broadcasting deal values eventually go up in price with every contract renewal they'll stand to lose even more.

Not that their club leaders care about what happens 10-25 years from now, they're all about making a flashy impact right now so they get re-elected and when their term is over their successors are left to deal with the fallout. I'm pretty sure the Barca leaders are still banking on the Super League being a thing in the future and that's why they're doing this now. If the ESL happens, the club would probably give less than zero fucks about what happens with the domestic tv rights because Super League is where the real money would be made anyway.

I'd be deliriously happy with just numbers 1 & 3.

They sold their stadium's name(Spotify Nou Camp) and got big money from brodcasting rights.

 

I am more having a hard time to see what's their concept of team building. Lewa, Auba, Torres, Ansu Fati, Rapinha, Dembele.. Even if we exclude and consider Depay and Braithwaite as dead woods, they have too many options for offense and very different kind of players. Midfield same.. Gavi, Pedri, De Jong, Busquets, what is the plan with Kessie? Seems completely out of profile in Xavi's team. They have many CB-s, they are pushing for Kounde while they don't have proper wingbacks(only Jordi Alba and Dest in the squad) and Azpilicueta is the only name who is strongly rumoured. I have no idea how this team could line up, what kind of football they are wishing to play and how they can keep balance in the squad, especially with many attackers.

No,..but it means they might be more desperate to offload players like Skriniar.

Not sure why Chelsea isn't showing more interest..well, at least I hope we are showing interest, behind the scenes.

the days of quietly working on deals behind the scenes maybe over. Interest in a player is clear weeks before a bid

Didnt they say Skriniar only wants PSG? And they already have personal terms agreed?

Gvardiol

Osimhen

now IF Reece leaves (highly doubtful) to Real, there would be a 5th, Hakimi

Nkunku would be nice, but so hard to pull IF we us the real deal and not a one year wonder, plus, there is Florian Wirtz next summer to ponder as well (he will be fully heathy by then) PLUS a fully fit Chiesa in the mix as well

finally, I still want Theo Hernández and Nicolò Barella

those 10 in bold are the only players out there who TRULY interest me atm and are even remotely available

(this assumes we miss out on Milan Škriniar this window, as he is the only CB left not named Gvardiol I actually want)

I've heard rumours that Bayern are interested in Osimhen. If they manage to sign him....

For all the hate thrown on Bayern for their "poaching" tactics & such, they seem to always reinforce properly, which I'm certainly envious of in comparison to how we have done business for many years.

The harsh reality, unfortunately. [That we are very unlikely to have realistic chances of signing Nkunku.]

The same could probably be said about Gvardiol too, unless we manage to get some agreement in place.

We won't be able to get such a deal in place.
