Barcelona and the more than 410 million dollars wasted on transfers – Metro World News

FC Barcelona is experiencing one of the worst seasons in its history, placing itself in fifth position in La Liga, with only 35 units, 15 less than the current leader, Real Madrid.

On the sporting front, the team headed by Xavi Hernández has come down, after the departure of Lionel Messi at the beginning of the campaign.

The Blaugrana team saw black in the first games of the sports year, to the extent that they had to fire the Dutch helmsman, Ronald Koeman.

Xavi returned to what was his home as a footballer, to try to right the ship, but he found himself with a beaten squad, which has lost a lot of money in reinforcements that have not performed as expected.

The crisis of the Catalans has spread to many areas of the institution. First, in sports the picture does not look good. In fact, Barça will play the UEFA Europa League, after being eliminated from the Champions League.

In addition, the economy is in the red, which is why the Blaugrana team has not been able to buy high-ranking footballers.

The last element to arrive was Ferrán Torres, an element that cost just over 55 million dollars. However, so far the performance of the Spanish midfielder has been poor, but the Catalan helmsman has a lot of faith in him, as he is a young footballer, 21 years old.

But if there is talk of fraud in Barcelona, ​​in recent seasons there have been several. The first of them is Philippe Coutinho, who arrived at the team in 2018, after paying just over 140 million dollars.

The Brazilian arrived with the crack label, but did not perform at all with the Blaugrana jacket, to the extent that he was loaned a few days ago to Aston Villa in the Premier League.

A year later, the culé board opted for the signing of Antoine Griezmann, paying an approximate amount of 125 million dollars to Atlético de Madrid.

But the Frenchman was left with a lot to owe, to the extent that, at the beginning of this campaign, the decision was made to return him to Los Colchoneros.

Griezmann could not adapt to Barça’s game. There were even rumors that he was fighting with Messi, which made his adaptation more difficult.

The last element on this list is Ousmane Dembélé, a French attacker who cost almost 145 million dollars for the Blaugrana team.

“El Mosquito” has spent more time injured than on the pitch. In fact, the Frenchman is currently fighting with the board, as he does not want to renew, which would facilitate his departure in the coming days.

In total, Barcelona has lost about 410 million dollars in transfers, which have not paid him at all in terms of sport, which is why Xavi is now more focused on getting players out of the academy than spending money on players who do not work.
