The financial emergency in which FC Barcelona finds itself makes the Catalan club a team to avoid. In any case, that's what Raphinha thinks and affirms.
Recently, FC Barcelona lost two of its summer recruits. Dani Olmo and Pau Victor could not be registered for the second half of the season since the Blaugrana did not respect their financial commitments to the Spanish football authorities. As a result, the club's image is completely damaged and can discourage potential future recruits. Barça is obliged to sell before being able to buy. Or at least, to drastically reduce its payroll. At a press conference, Raphinha took the time to say a word about this difficult context. The Brazilian doesn't pull any punches.
“If I was at another club, I would think twice before signing here”
« It's a pretty complicated situation. We, the players, never want to experience those complicated moments where we don't know if we can count on them (unregistered players, editor's note) or not. It's complicated for them, they don't know if they can play or not. This is a complicated and delicate situation, but we are trying to make it not so difficult for them and we hope that those responsible can resolve this problem as quickly as possible. I can't say the situation won't impact future signings, otherwise I'd be lying. And I'm not the type of person who likes to lie or tell stories. The truth is that if I was at another club and I saw the situation Pau Victor and Dani Olmo are in, I would think twice before signing here “, said Raphinha, who does not fail to send a strong message both to its leaders, but also to potential future recruits. FC Barcelona seems stuck in a vicious circle which will not help it get out of its difficult situation.
