Barcelona is in the spotlight on the mercato summer 2022.

BARCELONA - President of Barcelona, Joan Laporta, dismissed allegations that Barca's transfer activities took place without careful calculation of the club's finances. Laporta said the decision had been carefully considered.


"It's a requirement. I'm not a gambler, I take calculated risks, everything is calculated," Laporta asserted, quoted by Marca , Thursday (4/8/2022).


Barcelona is in the spotlight on the mercato in the summer of 2022 especially after signing a string of star players such as Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha from Leeds United.

Before the two players, Barcelona had recruited Pablo Torre, Andreas Christensen, and Franck Kessie. Torre was recruited for five million euros from Racing Santander, Christensen and Kessie came for free.

Meanwhile, Raphinha was tied for a total value of 65 million euros, while Lewandowski was brought in for 50 million euros from Bayern Munich. Transfer costs, which of course are very wasteful, considering the club's finances are said to be experiencing problems.

In addition, some media say Los Azulgrana is the club that spends the most money in the European summer transfer market. Barca spent 115 million euros, followed by Manchester City 108 million euros, Leeds United 105 million euros and then Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur.

There are fears that Barca will return to the dark times under the regime of Josep Maria Bartomeu, former Barcelona president. At that time, tifosi and the club were spoiled by the arrival of big-name players, not to mention Barcelona were spending money to recruit them.

However, Laporta refuses to be accused of making the wrong decision, which could cost Barca in the future.

"In my previous leadership time. We set very high expectations and we succeeded. Barcelona fans around the world, around 400 million, demand this level of success, winning is a universal motivation," continued Laporta.

With the club's financial difficulties documented a few seasons ago. Barcelona have felt the effect on their performance on the pitch, even dropping into the Europa League last season.
