The Catalan team, led by President Joan Laporta, is still seeking to strengthen the ranks with the best elements, while not neglecting the financial crisis that the team is going through.

In light of this, Barcelona is striving with all its might to sign a superstar player of high caliber in this position, especially in light of the team’s competition on more than one front, locally and abroad.
Press reports today revealed the latest developments regarding the transfer of the Bayern Munich midfielder to Barcelona next summer.

The newspaper explained that Kimmich decided to continue until the end of his contract and leave for Barcelona for free in 2025, but this strategy was caused by pressure on Bayern Munich to sell him at the lowest price to Barcelona next summer.

Barcelona President Joan Laporta set fire to the Real Madrid team because of the arbitration, after the exciting events of the Almeria match in the Spanish La Liga.

Barca launched an attack on its rival, Real Madrid, and the La Liga arbitration committee, as it believes that there is cheating and manipulation of the results of matches in the local competition.
Barcelona was not satisfied with that, as Barcelona President Joan Laporta filed a complaint with the Spanish Football Federation due to the farcical events that took place in the match between Real Madrid and Almeria.

Laporta not only filed the complaint, but also made some fiery statements during his conversation with the Spanish newspaper “Mundo Deportivo”.
Laporta: “If this continues, it will be very difficult for us to achieve our goals.”

He continued: “This time things were very clear, and that is why we filed an official complaint with the federation.
In addition, I am concerned above all about the morale of our players, because at the end of the Real Betis match, we played a good match and we are proud of the way things went because it was done.” Scoring goals, I saw the players were concerned about what happened at the Bernabéu, and of course we as a club have to take action on this issue.”

He concluded his speech by saying: “Apart from the fact that the two Madrid goals were incorrect, in Almeria’s canceled goal, I see that it was Billingham who grabbed the shirt of the Almeria player. When Billingham was looking strangely at the referee, as if he was talking in his heart about whether he succeeded in deceiving the referee or not, and in In the end, the referee ignored the award of the goal.”

Barcelona continues to cling to the competition for the La Liga title after achieving a dramatic victory yesterday over Real Betis at the Villamarín Stadium by four goals to two.

The Brazilian will certainly find it very difficult to regain his place in the squad when he returns from injury.
The newspaper also indicated: Laporta and Barcelona officials are open to the idea of selling the Brazilian striker because Xavi does not need him after the brilliance of the trio Yamal, Felix and Ferran Torres, and he wants to sign an additional winger and benefit from the amount sold to Rafinha.

Today, press reports revealed the standings of the Spanish League “La Liga” in the absence of VAR’s errors, which sparked great anger among the fans.

This angered Barcelona president Laporta, as he knew that the team was going through financial difficulties, so he told Xavi, “You have strong elements that can make a difference, but you do not know how to use them well.”

Xavi also asked at least to sign a center player with tremendous physical strength and told Laporta to sign Everton star Amadou Onana, but the English team does not intend to sell the player during the winter transfers and will wait until next summer.
Also, Laporta cannot fulfill Xavi’s desire to sign the player currently due to the same reason we mentioned previously.

German sources reported that Bayern Munich is willing to pay 9 million euros to sign Lukas Bergvall in the current transfer period.
This competition makes Barcelona’s mission difficult to sign the Swedish jewel, especially with the club’s struggle with the salary scale and financial fair play.

According to information received from the Spanish newspaper “Sport”, the most important thing that came in today’s sports administration meeting, which was chaired by Laporta and Sports Director Deco, was the signing of a star in the midfield to enhance the team’s chances of winning titles.

The newspaper indicated that an important decision was made, which was to sign a focal player on loan, and the option fell on Leonardo Paredes, the former Paris star and current Roma player.
What reinforces this option is the departure of Portuguese coach Jose Mourinho, who had refused to let the player leave while he was in the Italian team, but after his dismissal the matter became easier.

The Spanish newspaper added: In Barcelona, they believe that the situation cannot continue without signing a pivotal player who can make a difference, especially since the team is competing for the League, the Champions League, and the King’s Cup.
Paredes, the Argentine player, world champion and Roma star, is the candidate now, and negotiations have already begun with the Italian club. Barcelona wants him for this winter, not the summer transfers.

Paredes was close to joining Barcelona the previous season, but the economic situation prevented that, but now there is an opportunity. There is registration space for the player because the player agreed to a low salary and knows Barcelona’s difficult situation and accepts the situation.

Everything indicates that Barcelona is going with everything it has to contract with Paredes. The deal will not be complicated, but there are already talks and negotiations for him.

The English team, Chelsea, is planning to strike Barcelona in the deal of the season, according to press reports issued today.
According to information received from the Spanish newspaper “Sport”, Chelsea is close to concluding a contract deal with Barcelona’s biggest target in the current winter Mercato, but there is an urgent development from Laporta and Barcelona.

The newspaper explained: “The value of the deal may reach 75 million euros, including the commissions that will be included in the transfer process.”
The newspaper indicated that Paris Saint-Germain withdrew from the deal, and Laporta gave the green light to Deco to speed up and finalize the deal because of his good relationship with the player’s agent.

Barcelona is also betting on the player’s love and commitment to joining Barcelona, and will reject all offers that come to him, waiting for Barcelona, which is seeking to adjust its financial situation and go for a contract with him.
The newspaper continued: If Barcelona makes an offer, the player will officially be in the Catalan team, given the player and his agent’s insistence on moving to the Camp Nou.
