The club's financial condition has not been stable for several seasons. It's even gotten worse since Covid-19 arrived. But if this club is able to maximize the young players they have and not make too many expensive transfers then I think this club can improve again, albeit slowly. Last season, Barcelona did not make many player purchases. And I think the same thing will happen this season. Regarding Frankie de Jong and Lewandowski, they are still really needed at Barcelona. Even though Lewandowski is no longer young, he can still be a striker that can be expected. Meanwhile, De Jong is still needed. But De Jong's injured condition has certainly created a bit of a dilemma for Barcelona. Because there was news circulating that De Jong was also going to be sold. But I think that with the player's injury condition, this player will have difficulty finding a team that wants to sign him. If there is, the price will definitely not be as high as when he was brought to this club. So yeah, Barcelona can only defend it.
Covid made life difficult for many teams, but those who had a more or less stable financial situation went through this period better, and for those who already had problems, it worsened their situation even more. But Barcelona is not the only team that has such problems, and trying to solve this problem only with the help of young players is too long a path and in this case there is a chance of wasting too much time. Now it is important for them to become more skillful in the transfer market, and to monitor those players who become free agents, this does not solve the problem completely but can improve their financial situation a little.
You are right, perhaps such a step can indeed be done. Such a move reminds me of the way Inter Milan in Serie A improved their financial situation quite well. Where Inter Milan carries out player transfers effectively. They don't buy many expensive players. They only borrowed and brought in several players who were not expensive or even on free transfers. But the result at that time was that Inter Milan remained a club that was able to progress quite far in the UCL, namely advancing to the UCL final in the 2023 season. But in the end Inter Milan still changed ownership. Because the previous owner failed to pay the debt after it fell due. I hope Barcelona doesn't experience something like that. But since last season we have seen a change in Barcelona's movements in the transfer market. And I think this has also had a positive impact on this club.
