Joan Laporta had communicated to the of Andratx that had to 'relocate it' inside the club, but finally will do his cases to close his stage like blaugrana.

Alemany Landed in the City Condal shortly after that Joan Laporta assumed the presidency of the club in 2021. It was his 'signing' star and the one who has been attendant of big part of the operations in the club, from the signings, until the renewals 'happening' by the exits or sales of players. His work has been exceptional, so much in the operations of the first team as in the ones of the basic football. Now, the Barça begins an entirely distinct stage with Deco.

The wallet of operations of Alemany

They have been too many the operations that have closed in the last two years in the Barça. Probably the most painful has been the exit of Lionel Messi, in August of 2021, when the club did not have options to renew him by the difficulties with the Fair Play financial. This same year closed the cession and back sale of Antoine Griezmann to the Athletic of Madrid with which the Barça 'lost' a lot of money compared to what had paid by him in 2019, but was the only road to be able to save the wage of the French, that was very high.

Besides, from this summer began to insist in the signings 'low cost' or directly free like alternating road to solve the problems with the Fair Play financial. Alemany Was in command of the operations, but also was the attendant to negotiate with the captains recess salariales that allowed to the club inscribe, in this moment, to Memphis or Eric García.

A year afterwards and thanks to the 'crowbars' economic, Alemany starred several key operations, as the one of Robert Lewandowski to go out of the Bayern and recalar in the City Condal. It was one of the most difficult by the posture of the Bavarian group, to the equal that the 'dribble' to the Leeds United by Raphinha when they had it 'done' with Chelsea, to the equal that with Jules Koundé. In all, has played a key paper.

Alemany, decisive in the Barça

In this last summer also desencalló the signing of Ílkay Gündogan and Iñigo Martínez and was the one who advanced the talks to bring to Vitor Roque in 2024, although Deco was the one who finished completing the operation. At the same time, it was commissioned to negotiate with the captains -again- so that 'forgave' money before leaving . Gerard Hammered and Jordi Alba terminated his agreements and finish leaving without earning everything. Alemany Was key so that it was like this.
