The reinforcements that has achieved Xavi Hernández in this market of wintry signings are not sufficient and the intention of the technician egarense is to follow improving his staff of face to the future, reason by which from the FC Barcelona already are working in the possible signings for the month of June, in which they expect to have several important operations.

A lot of names have sounded to reinforce to the Barça of face to the season 2022-2023 and the one of Mathijjs of Ligt has been one of them, especially after his agent Mino Raiola confirmed that has the intention to change of airs in the market of signings of summer. It is 'tired' of the Juventus and will bet by a new sportive project.

Around the middle of December, the Italian agent aimed that "I think that all know which clubs mention for Matthijs of Ligt as 'next step'. We will see this summer", said to US. Questioned by the teams and if his destination was in England, Mino Raiola aimed that "Premier League? Also it can be the Barcelona, the Real Madrid or Paris Saint-Germain…", stood out. However, from the Camp Nou could 'go down' of the battle.

'SPORT' Has informed that the option is economically 'unfeasible', conscious that the montos of the traspaso are very high and that the wage of the Dutch footballer is of around eight million euros, a figure that in these moments from the Barça are not able to assume. To put it in context, the picture culé crosses a financial situation very delicate and each operation is a quebradero of head for the directors of the Barça by a simple (but complicated) reason: the limit salarial, which exceed in some 372 million euros, to fault of a new update from LaLiga.

This forces to the team to have to do an imperial effort of face to inscribe to any player in LaLiga, because it is necessary to free two or four times (depending on the rule '1 to 4' or '1 to 2') what cost the footballer for the mass salarial. It is thus that the option of Of Ligt for the moment aims to be complicated for the Barça. Now, in the City Condal know the details of how much can cost the central Dutch and is not for nothing accessible.

The Barça thinks in options 'low cost'

In the Camp Nou, as they are the things right now, are not for big signings or outlays. Only it is necessary to see how they arrived Adama Traoré and Aubameyang to the team and the wage (minimum) that will perceive in this season to be able to fit with the economic controls of LaLiga. To fault that the Barcelona economy improve a bit in these next five months, all the new players will have to be 'low cost' or directly free.

Andreas Christensen has sounded like the big option to achieve the aim to reinforce the defensive saga. His agreement with Chelsea wins on 30 June of this year and seems that it does not go to renew. The Barcelona carry several months tanteando the terrain and the Danish could recalar in the Camp Nou in the month of July.
