Laporta actions seemed to want to cover up his mistakes in the failed transfer case which caused Barcelona to experience financial problems. Several transfers during the era of Laporta leadership made Barcelona finances decline further due to the players brought in not meeting expectations. The most memorable case is probably when Barcelona brought in Griezmann and then sold him back to Atletico at a cheap price.

It is very natural for Xavi to mention Barcelona financial problems when he held a press conference. On the one hand, he needs top players to improve Barcelona quality, but his wishes cannot be realized due to Barcelona financial limitations. He was forced to implement a policy of producing new stars from the La Masia academy, some of whom became important players in the Barcelona squad. Laporta seems to want to sacrifice Xavi in this case, even though everyone already knows what Barcelona current financial condition is.

Its bad history transfer of Barcelona last several season sign some players with most expensive transfer values but sold them later have lower fees transfer. Antoine Griezmann is great players and Barcelona spending above 100 million euro for signing him but can't show best perform with Barcelona and then sell him with lower price most of 50% reduce when selling him to Atletico Madrid. I think Barcelona must be effective when making transfer some players by spending them with higher values and have to sell back later with most expensive fee transfer from signing.

But last season, Xavi Hernandez didn't make any highest transfer fees behind Barcelona getting financial problem, how possibility under new manager will Barcelona make many transfer and will spending much money again?
