Operation Exit must continue at full speed ahead

Barcelona are working to lower their salary bill. Reinforcements can arrive but they need to be registered. And FFP for now doesn’t allow it. Alves could be registered because of Kun Aguero’s retirement. And Ferran Torres was waiting for a new space to be made.

It’s a surreal situation, caused by the poisoned inheritance. Barca have the money to sign but not register. Coutinho and Umtiti must solve the situation by leaving. Dembele too. Mateu Alemany has work to seal these exits, with Coutinho going to Aston Villa. That will allow Barcelona to hope for Morata and a defender.

Alemany thought that it might be easier tat Barca than Mallorca or Valencia but he’s come to the club at the worst moment and has to be more imaginative than ever to find the solutions. He showed he could in the summer with Griezmann’s last minute exit.

Barcelona have a lot of objectives ahead of them and only with good signings can they take them on with success.
