@shogun if it ain’t obvious he’s more interested in making money only and I’m glad that Real Madrid didn’t purchase him because he would have continuously demanded more money from them and while there’s a big change of him going to Real Madrid next season I hope that Madrid can turn him down. Furthermore Real should target Halland because Jude and Halland together would be a treat to watch and these two would make Real Madrid unbeatable.
Mbappe is an exceptional player. He creates goal-scoring opportunities and he is also a goalscorer. Haaland depends on others for assistance before he scores but Mbappe will create opportunities from tight positions. It is assumed that he already has a non formal agreement with Real Madrid, but if they fail to get him, many top class clubs willing be willing to pay more for him. His excessive demand for pay rise can be controlled using contract clauses, I don't think that should be a problem.
I think Barcelona problem it seems is only one, maybe it's only about finances which still doesn't seem healthy. Because after all, reportedly there are still some players who get a salary cut. So yes, with this case at least it will have an impact on the player mood and if the mood is bad, then of course it will also have an impact on poor performance. But despite this, at least Barcelona in La Liga still has a big chance of being able to compete well in the title race but yes, not in European competitions.
Barca's financial problem persists because the club has struggled to register some of its key players. Lsst month they were seeking for funds to register Marco Alonso, Inaki Pena and Inigo Martinez. Xavi Hernandez has been able to manage his players and won at least the La Liga last season, hopefully, this season will be better. Cutting player's salaries against their will might be counterproductive because it can reduce their morale. But the club might have no other option to avoid sanctions. Any player that is not comfortable can move to any available club.
