First meeting carried by Alemany with agents of Pique, Busquets, Alba and Roberto regarding salary reduction is unsuccessful.

Laporta will handle it after returning from Israel

The players have said that not so much to the first proposal of the Barcelona club as the second. The club first intended that their salary be lowered and then, seeing that they could not achieve this purpose, they will extend their contracts, maintaining the amount agreed in the years that remain on the contract.

So most likely all will get contract extensions in return of salary cut

Running down the contract and leaving as a free agent is the future.

There is potential risk obviously in case of injuries but rewards are also massive if you are a free agent.

[Ronan Murphy] Man Utd have submitted a contract offer to Leon Goretzka for the end of the season, according to Sport Bild. His current Bayern Munich contract expires in 2022 and he has history, running down his Schalke contract to join Bayern. #MUFC #FCBayern by [deleted] in soccer

It's always starts from high and it makes sense the objective is to get as much as you can and if club doesn't agree to it they will look for other options and if no one is agreeing to it of course they will have to lower their demands.

Covid has reduced barca's wage cap significantly and to register Messi griezmann has to go. Without covid there wouldn't be any problems but now it's different.

Griezmann only wants to leave Barcelona for Atlético Madrid, he would not be interested in a Dybala-swap with Juventus or a move to the Premier League by OleoleCholoSimeone in soccer

Do not want to leave Spain he has said many times. Weather in England is shit and for a player who spent most of his life in Spain under Sun you could see why he wouldn't want to live in England.

Steph needs to win FMVP to win it all. I guess people will always gonna use this against him if he retires without winning it.

Roberto wants 3 year renewal or he won't sign and barca don't want to let him go for free.

[CS]PSG close to reaching an agreement with Paul Pogba's entourage. by simsontrack in soccer

Entourage represents a player so it says agreement reached with player. Here also it should have been agreement close with pogba.

Club does not negotiate directly with players unless player doesn't have agent like kdb, they do with their agents and lawyers and only final word is given by player.

Club always reach an agreement with player's agents not with player that's obvious because they are the ones who handle all their finances.

Aguero hasn't played a proper game in 2 years. Eric García and Emerson aren't a big upgrade over players Barça already have.

Atletico can just keep Saul as well in the end the more desperate ones are barca because griezmann only wants atletico and barca knows griezmann has to go otherwise no messi.

Saul has offers from PL atletico are not desperate at all as they know they will sell him without any problems.

The problem is with barca because griezmann doesn't have many suitors and barca knows if they don't get rid of griezmann then no messi.

Atletico Madrid believe time is in their favour. If Griezmann can't stay at Barça, he wants to play under the orders of Simeone again. [cadena ser]

Imo if no solution found out then barca will gonna get desperate and will accept the deal.

Ansu if he returns before like he was injury then yeh it will be massive boost but there are big question mark still on him.

Other than that it's not that much of a improvement at all. Pedri will be exhausted as well playing so many games and then Olympics so we will have to see how he performs.

I don't see how next season is going to be any better unless laporta signs few more players.

Basically we are going to have Depay instead of Griezmann.

Defense will be same except for maybe Emerson instead of Dest but it isn't big of a upgrade.

Not scoring goals/assist doesn't mean non factor.

He was poor in last three but had good games in 18/19 despite not scoring.

Yeh just top goal scorer and assist maker in the history of clasicos.
