Me gustaría recordar que el Atlético ponía a jugar a Griezmann (su mejor jugador) a partir del minuto 60 para no pagar los 40 millones que le pedía el Barça por el traspaso. Valores de tiesos y acomplejados.
- Quieres a Kounde, el Sevilla monta un escandalo.
- Vas por Joan García, el Espanyol y su afición rabia tela y amenazan al jugador.
- Intentas fichar a Nico, el Atheltic llama a Tebas y a la liga.
- Vas por Julian y el Atleti se pega la chinada del siglo.
Qué tortura de liga.
🗣 Albert Ortega: "People are asking where all this money is coming from for Gordon and Álvarez."
Barcelona have always been a money-generating machine. The problem was never the money. It was compliance with La Liga's financial controls and the salary cap blocking registrations, not the ability to spend.
Barcelona could always structure deals. The wall was always the economic control rules and whether new signings could actually be registered.
This summer that changes. The return to the 1:1 rule changes everything.
Lewandowski's departure. Camp Nou reopening. Sponsorship agreements. VIP suite sales. New commercial deals. Wage bill reductions. Every single one of those moved the needle.
After more than five years of operating with one hand tied behind their back Barcelona are entering this transfer market with real financial power and real room to move.
This isn't luck. This is five years of painful reconstruction finally paying off. 🔵🔴

Thierry Henry reacts to Barcelona closing in on Julián Álvarez after signing Anthony Gordon:
🗣️ “Honestly, I can’t believe what’s happening at FC Barcelona right now.
A few months ago, people were calling them a broke club, saying Barcelona could never compete for elite players again.
Now they sign Anthony Gordon for £80 million and they’re already pushing for Julián Álvarez too? That’s serious ambition.
And I’ll tell you something Álvarez at Barcelona would be scary.
His movement, intensity, intelligence, work rate… he fits modern Barcelona perfectly.
What excites me most is the mentality the club seems to have again. They are starting to move like Barcelona should move aggressively, confidently, like a giant waking up again.
People laughed at them during the difficult years.
But football changes very quickly when a club with Barcelona’s history starts believing in itself again.
And honestly, if they pull off Álvarez after Gordon, Europe is going to start paying attention very fast.”
