Barcelona (Spain): Barcelona president Joan Laporta said that the first team must be strengthened with new agreements next January and assured fans that the club is “working” to achieve this. Barcelona are facing difficult conditions in this season, as he occupies seventh place in the Spanish league after 15 stages of the competition, 16 points behind his rivals, Real Madrid, leader in ranking, knowing that Barcelona has a match postponed. Barcelona have also dropped out of the Champions League group stage, having finished third in their group, one point behind Benfica, and will play a play-off in the competition to qualify for the round of 16 of the European League. Financial problems prevented Barcelona from offering to renew the contract of Argentine star Lionel Messi (34), to leave the team as a parameter zero and join Paris Saint-Germain in the latest summer market. Barcelona tried to compensate for Messi’s departure with offers offensive Memphis Depay and Sergio Aguero, who joined the team in two offers per parameter zero, but Aguero only participated in five games and was banned from participating indefinitely due to a heart problem. Laporta is aware that Barcelona need new faces to return to the title competition, but stressed that the up budget wage is a big obstacle. “We all agree that the team needs to be strengthened,” Laporta said late Friday afternoon. The problem is that we have inherited contracts that don’t give us room to move due to salaries. “” However, we are looking for a way to grow the first team during the winter transfer market. We are working on it. ” Barcelona will play their next league match on Sunday against their host Osasuna and are looking to reduce the six-point gap that separates them from their closest Champions League qualifiers.
