FC Barcelona Transfers Report: Sergi Roberto, Eric Garcia, Emerson, Ousmane Dembele under Laporta!

The BarcaBreakdown discusses all the news regarding Sergi Roberto's contract renewal, Eric Garcia's free transfer and wages, Emerson coming from Real Betis, and the negotiations for Ousmane Dembele's contract renewal. Thankfully, it appears that Laporta has placed a new rule that players over 30 only can sign an extension year by year, with no multi-year extensions allowed. On top of this, he has shown an unwillingness to continue to pay the absurd wages that were typical of the Bartomeau presidency.

 

Though Sergi Roberto is a very nice player and has had some high profile moments for FC Barcelona that we will never forget, it seems his time at the club is fading. With his wage bill, it no longer seems worthwhile for Barca to continue to pay him. We are hopeful to see Erica Garcia come to Barca, and news that he is coming even with reduced wages show his desire to play for us. Ousmane has had a blossoming play this year and seems to connect well with Leo Messi. We hope to see them together for a long time.
