FC Barcelona is accelerating in the Jorge Salinas file, also still courted by Atlético de Madrid. The Catalan club absolutely wishes to complete the arrival of the defender before June 30, the date on which his release clause is estimated at 8 million euros according to Mundo Deportivo. After this period, Racing de Santander considers that it will double to reach 16 million euros after its accession to La Liga, an amount that Barça refuses to pay for the moment.
Discussions therefore remain tense between the two clubs, who differ on the date of entry into force of this new clause. Barcelona is sticking to its position and does not intend to exceed 8 million euros, while having proposed several alternative solutions, such as a loan or the transfer of young players from its training center. For its part, Racing affirms that several suitors are ready to align themselves with the maximum amount requested, starting with Atlético.
