It's so sad that even a big team like Barcelona can't even afford to sign Nico Williams, how about Mbappe? it's impossible for them to sign Mbappe, they might only able to buy Mbappe's hair lol.
Laporta had already saved Barcelona from debt once before. But at that time, great talents came out of La Masia, Barcelona's youth system. I think they should go in the same direction, instead of making crazy transfers with high transfer fees. Lamine Yamal is a shining example of that. In fact, I think it would be better planning for them to give a couple of seasons to Real Madrid already and prepare for the next years. They didn't get to this situation in a few days. They can't return to the old days with a few good signings in a few days.
Currently Barcelona does have financial problems so they need to be selective in choosing players to be recruited, but that does not mean Barcelona is unable to recruit Nico Williams at this time because previously Laporta has stated that Barcelona has enough finances to get Nico Williams from Bilbao and even reportedly negotiations between Barcelona and Bilbao have been carried out at this time, talking about Mbappe, I think getting Mbappe will be very easy for Barcelona at this time because indeed Mbappe has free agent status after his contract at PSG is completed, but from the beginning Barcelona did not do it because Mbappe was more interested in joining Madrid than Barcelona.
Laporta took over Barcelona again after Barcelona's financial problems deteriorated greatly, so to solve all these problems is of course not easy, previously selling young players was one solution that Barcelona did, But for now they can't do it because club needs players must be prioritized by Laporta to competete in la liga and promoting academy players to the first team is a solution to cover their difficulties in getting new players and also meet the current high salaries of players.
