​​​​@@akb6459Like @thabsor said. It normalized + 100,000,000 transfers. Before it wasn't a common thing to pay such extraordinary amounts. But the rise of the Premier League and their "unlimited" amount of income and ownership by sheikhs, oligarchs or American hedge funds investors, also played a huge role in the explosion of transfer fees. Chelsea spend over 1 billion pounds/euros/dollars for transfers, since 2022 and their change of ownership! Barca tried to keep up with it and made some major failure investments/transfers. While Bayern and Real are trying their best to avoid to make such huge deals. But they can't get around to also make such transfers. So they don't lose touch to the European top flight. But in contrast to Barca, they're successful with their approach and remain playing at the top level .

[@shotgunpete5117]

Spending on transfers to replace a key player isn't necessarily the problem where it went wrong. You can't replace Neymar at the peak of his playing with a youth academy talent, so spending the big bucks for a good replacement is necessary. But spending more than half of the Neymar money on a 19 year old Dembele who played a completely different system and tactics at Dortmund was just insanely stupid. Dortmund and Liverpool saw the Neymar moneybags and squeezed every penny out of it that they possibly could, and then some. There has never been a more appropriate context for the "This had been the worst trade deal in the history of trade deals" Trump meme than this. Even Trump knows this is not how you do the art of the deal lol.

But they're talking about the "downfall" of Barca for years now. But last season they won La Liga and Lewandowski won the Pichichi award. And the situation at Barca is looking better today than last year! With the renovation of the Camp Nou, they will have the largest and most awesome stadium in all of Europe. Better than the renovated Santiago Bernabéu, the new Tottenham Stadium or Dortmund's Westfalenstadion/"Signal Iduna Park". Look up preview clips of it. Here on KZbin. Barca is like certain banks "to big to fail". It's an institution of the Spanish state/region of Catalonia. Just like Real, they can basically do whatever they want without to have to file for bankruptcy. And there will always be players like Agüero (sad that he had to retire) or Gündogan with the childhood dream of playing for Barca....

He's known to deploy multiple strategies such as tiki-taka and gegenpressing with various formations. He has worked with relegation battler, mid table and top table team. turning hoffenheim from relegation battler to top table. made leipzig a well feared dark horse. he wasn't that good for Bayern but man 71.4% win rate is amazing. even the well-respected Tuchel can't do as good as him.

Problems started long before that, even during Neymar's tenure when they suffered defeats like 4-0 to PSG and 3-0 to Roma in the Champions League. Rakitic replacing Xavi was temporary solution, Roberto stepping in for Alves, and Coutinho for Iniesta's wasn't gonna fit. Busquets and Pique had already shown signs of slowing down, and adding two more players to the list exacerbated the issue. Players like Griezmann, Turan, Aleix, Mathieu, and Coutinho were deemed unnecessary acquisitions. Although they brought in some decent talents like Arthur, Malcom, Andre Gomes could have served as good substitutes for Busquets. Dembele's signing, though costly, had potential at the time. However, proper coaching and medical support were crucial for their success, which unfortunately seemed lacking.

[@milk__teee]

It was actually insane watching this real time. Instead of maybe buying depth with good players, they just went all out and spent it all on three players. Idk how they ran a football club this way at all.

[@Ak_khan00]

As some people said, They tried to turn a player growth relying club into a transfer relying club

[@barissimo111]

The three transfers (Dembele, Coutinho, Griezmann) still give me nightmares...and there were so many bad transfers in a 5 year span (Andre Gomes 50 Mio. hurts)

[@Nikola-ce4sc]

Paco Alcacer, Paulinho, Braitweit.. Artur for Pjanic

IF they are found guilty. They might be completely innocent. I mean, it sound dubious, as La Liga-referees has rarely ever not favoured the opposing team over Barca. I’d be like if a defendant bribed a jury who then takes the money and all unanimously find the defendant guilty.

[@bangoagroupmadrid1]

La liga refs have been favoring Barcelona for years. Red card count 2001-2018. Barcelona +78 reds, Real Madrid -12. You know how crazy IS that between the two main contenders? How many key points Barcelona saved every season because they play against 10 men teams? How many points Madrid Lost for the same reason? Between 2016-2018 Bartomeu reign Barcelona spent 3 years in la liga with 0 reds and 0 pens against. In 2015-2016 season Barcelona won la liga by 1 point against a Real Madrid champions League winning side with 19-0 on pens in 38 games between Europes record

[@jaycl915]

@@bangoagroupmadrid1Your argument is only valid if they red card were underved while Barca simultaneously comitted acts deserving of a red card, without getting it. As I recall, a Real team with the likes of Ramos, Pepe, Ronaldo, Mourinho (who pricks opponents in the eyes) and Marcelo were certainly at ten times more violet and aggressive than a Barca team with likes of Iniesta, Xavi, Messí, Busquets and Piqué.

Nothing justifies a 555M 4years deal, Pérez got rid of CR7 after winning 3 champions leagues in a row and being CR7 the most followed sportsman on earth just because CR7 wanted a payrise Up to 30M Net a year, that decision by Pérez selling CR7 to Juventus before the pandémic using that money to sign 18 years old Vinicius and rodrigo saved Real Madrid

[@cristiano3355]

I wouldn’t put it all on Bartomeu. We can agree that he was the decision maker, but he has a board next to him. Furthermore, the fans wanted those moves. The fans wanted Messi renewed every year. It falls on all of them.

[@Ram-RTR]

It was not a decision. The new contract should be not be lower than a certain percentage Even if Messi had agreed to play for 1 million per year, it was way too low compared tonhis previous contract and the league prevented that. So he left on a free transfer. He was not sold but his contract expired.

[@samvanderplas8970]

Okay straight up: you're reading propaganda. Barca's financial problems actually started under Laporte's first term, it's just that the sporting achievements were still present enough to mask it. Not saying it's all Laporte's fault because Bartomeu did make some absolutely terrible decisions in his teñor but the truth is is that Laporte is the one who set this club on the path of self destruction, he is just a very skilled propagandist and Bartomeu was not
