Barcelona's exciting 2-4 win over Real Sociedad in the opening round of the Spanish league does not reassure the Catalans.
Not the management, not the coach Ronald Koeman, not some of the players and certainly not the fans, who are still protesting the farewell full Messi.
It is clear to everyone that the Spanish Cup holder must strengthen, despite the precarious economic situation that is making it considerably difficult for her this summer.
One of Barcelona's main tasks is to put money into the empty coffers, and it works tirelessly to get rid of a number of players.
She is close to parting ways with Miralam Pjanic (will he return to Yuba?), Struggling with Samuel Omititi who refuses to leave and does everything to sell Felipe Coutinho, who weighs on her and is actually considered the most expensive flop she has ever landed - around 150 million euros that went to waste.
Barça are trying to push the Brazilian to anyone who agrees, but his high cost makes it difficult to part with him.
However, he is in demand in England, and according to reports Leicester will be happy to sign him, as well as Arsenal who opened the season in a dismal manner.
And yet, the economic side is talking, and as of today’s report, Barça and the Gunners are likely to formulate a trade that will bring Coutinho back to the Premier League in exchange for one of Arsenal’s top strikers: Alexander Lacassette or Pierre-Emerick Obamyang.
With Sergio Aguero injured in the stands and Messi in Paris, Coman owes a leading striker - and only a trade is possible, given Barça's status.
Paul Pogba to PSG?
The French Cup holder is not satisfied with the star battery that landed this summer.
After Leo Messi, Sergio Ramos, Ashraf Hakimi, Giorgini Vinaldom and Gigi Donaroma, she is trying to entice Paul Pogba to join the 2021/2022 version of the Galacticos.
Paul Pogba. Will join PSG's Galacticus?
The Manchester United midfielder opened the season wonderfully, scoring four goals in the first round against Leeds, and is seen for the first time as a player the Reds have wanted so badly to see, since signing several years ago and most of the time disappointing.
Pogba seems pleased with his position at Manchester United, but here the question arises - will he meet the financial temptation offered to him by the French - a weekly salary of 600,000 euros?
Next summer the French national team contact will be a free agent, so United are also facing a dilemma.
On the one hand, the professional, Pogba is a key screw in their hopes of winning the English Championship for the first time in more than ten years, but on the other hand the amount of sales this summer could enrich its coffers impressively.
Degrees or money?
In today's football nothing is clear anymore.
