It has become a usual soap opera at each transfer window on the Catalan side: how can the club do it to record its new recruits in Liga?

Five puzzles for the management of Joan Laporta who nevertheless, still on Sunday, assured that there should not be any problems. But the liga begins in less than two weeks now, and Hansi Flick cannot count on its entire workforce. The solution may go through new sales or new levers, a summer again …
