Now it seems that no one dares to pick up the hot potato in Barcelona. Since the club chairman Bartomeu and the members of the board of directors resigned collectively, the Spanish giants have been in charge of the team affairs by the temporary committee.
However, as a candidate for the club’s chairman, Laporta has been active recently, and often made some remarks on Barcelona’s future vision on important occasions in an attempt to canvass for himself. Some time ago, he had expressed that once he entered Barcelona, he would bring the team the hottest champion coach Klopp in Europe. Now he has begun to openly want to introduce the Norwegian monster Harland to Barcelona.
Laporta revealed that as long as he takes over Barcelona, he will sell Griezmann. The French has a limited role in Barcelona and occupies a lot of salary space, which has long become a burden on the team. He hopes to use Griezmann and cash to convince Dortmund and Harland’s agent Raiola.
The contract between Harland and Dortmund has a termination fee clause, which will take effect next summer. Laporta said that in order to avoid the 75 million liquidated damages attracting various teams berserk, Barcelona must make a strong move in this deal. He hopes to impress Dort and Raiola with Griezmann and 50 million euros in cash.
In fact, Laporta's idea is very naive and ridiculous, not to mention that Barcelona is now in debt and can't get the money. Even if Barcelona can do this, Dortmund can hardly afford Griezmann's salary. Given Griezmann's age and status, and considering his salary level, Dortzhen is not necessarily willing to accept this deal.
On the other hand, Harland's technical style is very clear, he belongs to the defensive counterattack to kill the Quartet, and enjoy the big opening and closing scenes. Such a player must have strong support from the midfield and frontcourt to be able to perform. Barcelona's current transmission and control system can't give Haaland such support, nor can it give him the depth and speed to display his talents. The Norwegian can be said to be incompatible with the current style of Barcelona. Harland is by no means a life-saving straw for Barcelona. Z1z
Harland’s agent, Raiola, is not a fuel-efficient lamp. If the team insists on Harland, it will definitely be slapped by the savvy agent.
Once Harland is unable to display his talents in Barcelona, for Barcelona, this will be another deal to spend a lot of money to do stupid things. From this point of view, it is better for Laporta not to be elected president of Barcelona. With his vision and wisdom, it is very likely that Bartomeu is the next.
