Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Vitor Roque are the options that FC Barcelona has a 'shot' for the summer. However, the problems with the salary margin could force the club to opt for one of the two as a reinforcement for 23/24

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The directive of the FC Barcelona knows that it will not be easy to convince to LaLiga to expand his margin salarial in summer to facilitate the registration of reinforcements. Tied of hands by the Fair Play financial for, even, close pending renewals, the club expects to free sufficient mass salarial to resolve the arrival of, at least, a reinforcement by line, with the attack like priority.

In this sense, Joan Laporta has very directed the signing of Vitor Roque like stellar reinforcement for the 2023/24, but also is on the table the possible return of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang that already won the affection of the fans and of the staff during the first semester of 2022. In both cases, convince to his clubs to accept traspasos economic will be the main obstacle to see them in August with the T-shirt culé.

The price of Vitor Roque, impagable this year

For the moment, the Athletico Paranaense keeps firm his posture to demand a minimum of 40 million euros by the traspaso of the '9'. For the Barça, this figure is impagable in the next market, unless it closed a traspaso high (Dembélé, Raphinha or Frenkie of Jong) that freed sufficient margin salarial to fit the index card of the Brazilian. Thus, the managerial culé expects to convince to the group 'rojinegro' to accept a compulsory conveyance with option to buy or, in his defect, a sale with payments on hire purchase.

The good news for the Barcelona has been the disposal of Juvenal Ferreira, father of the player of 18 years, and his agent to negotiate directly with Mateu Alemany and Jordi Cruyff. The directors blaugranas expect to travel to Brazil to negotiate directly with the Parananense, although the posture of the 'Furacãor' is to retain to 'Tigrinho' the most possible, conscious of the increase of his cotización and the extensive of his agreement (until 2027).

With Aubameyang all can be simpler

Without place in Chelsea for the 2023/24, 'Auba' has easier his way to return to Catalonia, although Chelsea will try to recover the 12 'kilos' that paid to the Barça on the end of the last market veraniego. To the gabonés subtracts him a year of agreement and, in front of the uncertainty for knowing who will occupy the bench 'blue' the next season, to the forward of 33 years does not remain him another that look for team.

And it is that Pierre-Emerick has been unable to win a place with the three trainers that have gone through Stamford Bridge from his arrival. Neither Thomas Tuchel neither Graham Potter gave to the of Laval the necessary confidence to recover the excellent level that showed in his go through Barcelona. Neither Frank Lampard seems very convinced to bet by the ex captain of the Arsenal, but further of his bad year in London, Xavi will reserve him a place in the staff if it attains to return, since the egarense never wanted to lose him.
