People are mad for wasting so much on Joao Mario and Correa. Imagine how fucking idiot you can be to waste this much money on a fraud like Dembele.

Rabiot is set to sign for Marseille.

Marseille is lowkey stacked right now.

Marseille is lowkey stacked right now.

And they only have one game per week. Maybe they could pose a challenge to PSG this season? Probably wishful thinking but one can hope.

And they got rid of Correa

A joint investigation by the German magazine 'Der Spiegel', the anti-crime network 'OCCRP', the Spanish radio station 'Cadena SER' and the Dutch platform 'Follow The Money' uncovered an attempted fraud during the process of Robert Lewandowski's transfer from FC Bayern to FC Barcelona in 2022

At the end of July 2022, the Catalans received an email from the address 'pini.zahavi.48@gmail.com' under the subject "Commission Lewandowski" demanding that they transfer one million euros to a certain Michael D. According to the email, Michael D. was a lawyer. FC Barcelona confirmed receipt of the letter to Der Spiegel. Pini Zahavi is Lewandowski's agent and played a key role in the transfer. However, he himself said he had nothing to do with the ominous email and doesn't know anyone by the name Michael D. It appears that it was a fraudster who misused someone else's identity.

It has not been conclusively determined whether FC Barcelona actually transferred the million requested. However, there are indications that they did. For example, Der Spiegel learned from a source that a transfer had actually been sent from Barcelona to a Cypriot account. However, it was not accepted by the Bank of Cyprus due to the lack of information about the account's owner. When asked whether the money had actually been sent, Barcelona did not give a specific answer to Der Spiegel. The club only stressed that the sender of the email had not received any money

I wonder how it is that a professional football club with possibly hundreds of employees, who may have already done many transfer transactions, are unable to verify these names and addresses.
The email address is already suspicious, yet perhaps they are still unable to detect fraud by recognising the content itself, whether it is professionally written legally or not, and simply took the decision to transfer a large amount to an offsite bank account? or perhaps this club is already used to this kind of practice?

I remember a similar case between Lazio and Feyenord for De Vrij transfer

Olmo fought his way back to Barcelona, where he was in their academy many years ago. I understand the concerns Barcelona have about registering the player (though I suspect they're mostly BS and they'll find a way). Why would Olmo agree to a transfer with a loan obligation involved? Not unless the whole episode has soured him about the club, I guess, but I'm not buying it.

Also, AS is a Madrid-based paper.

Not gonna happen. But he is very much a player that will kill it at Atalanta. Gasperini has perfected this system that gets the most out of those playmakers who don't quite work on the wing, and not as #10s as well, the latter mostly cos modern football doesn't use them. Gomez, Ilicic, Lookman, CDK, ..

They just bought him for 60m? Why would they sell him for 20m? What's this talk about registration, he has played for them this season.

Meanwhile, appears deal done for Leverkusen’s Tah on a free in summer - unless both Andreas & Araujo are subject to exits, I struggle to understand need to strengthen central defense

Official: Barcelona fail to register Dani Olmo; player can now leave as a free agent

Barcelona’s ongoing registration issue with Dani Olmo has become a topic of significant concern. Despite their efforts, the club has not yet been able to register Olmo on time, pending further confirmation. This development raises questions about his future. As it stands, Olmo could choose to...

barcauniversal.com

apparently he could leave for free if he wanted to cause barca failed to register him..... Now in the article it says the player does not want to leave atm but he could force his way out on a free transfer....

First of all what an absolute shit club barca is..... Looks like hey are jus spending money for the sake of spending money even though they are broke... Who spends 60 mio on a player and then fails to register him?
Also if only players would stop to romantizise that absolute shit show of a club they would be in way deeper shit.... Mas que un club my fucking ass

Sorry, I don't get this. Fail to register him how? He has already played for them.

I don't have all the details and I only just woke up so this will be an oversimplification, but basically they were able to "emergency register" him for the first half of the season because they had two long-term injuries in their squad - Christensen and Araújo - so the rules allowed Olmo (and Pau Victor) to be registered. Those guys won't be injured forever, and emergency registrations aren't for the entire season. It expired on Dec. 31. Barcelona had months to figure out ways to get themselves financially sorted enough to where they could then register Olmo and Victor "normally" and failed to do so, thus why they weren't re-registered in time for the second half of the season.

Thank you, makes lot more sense now.

What a shitshow of a club. Laporta has made a fool of himself again.
