It really makes me wonder why Barcelona are willing to spend that much on a kind of player they don't urgently need at the moment, yet they are already drowning in debts. They also don't seem to show any signs of offloading players that maybe redundant during the course of next season. Let's see how thing go, but at some point I really thought Chelsea had a good chance of singing him.
Actually it can be seen as an urgent transfer because they didn't have any right winger in the team before this signing. Dembele deal hasn't still become official so signing Raphinha is good for them to secure their right wing. Dembele is also coming soon and this will be enough for that position. Chelsea were really close some time ago but after Barcelona intervened Raphinha also changed his mind and wanted to join Barcelona.
does barcelona need to win some prize for always signing players that won't be so useful, why don't they focus on getting Lewandowski? one of the biggest cancers of barcelona is in the matter of having certain former managers of barcelona with very retarded and sick opinions, for example Lluís Bassat who ran to be president of barcelona years ago said that he would not hire Lewandowski because he says that Lewandowski he's 34 years old so he's already old, honestly it's because of that kind of thinking that barcelona fell so much to the point of becoming a shit team and to make matters worse they started to put players in very unproductive games. I hope they know which players must be priority or else they won't be able to win la liga
I really don't know why they aren't fighting for Lewandowski now. Maybe it is related to Bayern Munich's rejecting their three offers.
