As Real Madrid's mortal enemy and another giant team in La Liga, Barcelona seems to be much more low-key.

In 2004, in order to sign players such as Su Dong and Deco, Laporta took out a loan of 150 million euros from the bank. This was a waste of money and excessive consumption, so by this summer, Barcelona was basically out of money.

Last season, they won the La Liga championship and the Champions League championship, and the income was indeed huge. Especially in the Champions League, Barcelona earned at least 50 to 60 million euros. This does not include the potential income in the next one or two years, but the expenses are also huge.

Huge bonuses for players, salary increases due to contract renewals for a group of players, plus all other aspects...

All in all, Barcelona really has no money to buy anyone.

Therefore, Barcelona's goal from beginning to end was clear, PSV midfielder Van Bommel.

This Dutch midfielder is very good, but what attracts Barcelona the most is that he is free.

After his contract expires, he will not renew his contract with PSV and can freely transfer to a European giant.

As soon as Barcelona extended an olive branch, Van Bommel nodded immediately, and the two sides hit it off immediately.

Center defender Navarro has been loaned out, and Herard will not stay either. Now that Van Bommel has been signed, Barcelona’s midfielder positions include Marcos Senna, Van Bommel, Edmilson and Motta.

, among which Edmilson can also play as a central defender.

As a result, Barcelona's defensive midfielder position in the new season is not bad and has sufficient reserves, but the central defender is slightly weaker.

Puyol and Marcos should be the main players, while Oleg will be the substitute and continue to grow.

If the club's financial resources were not limited, it should have introduced another powerful central defender.

But now, there is no other way. There is such a shortage of central defenders all over the world. Where else can I get a visa exemption?

…

When the time came to mid-June, Su Dong received an invitation that interested him.
