The BarcaBreakdown discuss the MASSIVE news that Lionel Messi, Copa American Champion, is set to return with a wage cut of up to 50%! Due to our large wage bill, Laporta/Barca are looking to send Antoine Griezmann BACK to Atletico in return for Saul.
We discuss how big it is that Messi returns, as Manchester City and PSG were both reportedly looking to get Messi back. Thankfully, Messi stayed with his childhood club and Laporta, who he most definitely prefers to Bartomeu.
Unfortunately, though Griezmann never won enough trophies to justify his transfer fee/wage bill, it is very sad to see Barca forced to return him. Players like Coutinho, Umtiti, Sergi Roberto are taking up massive wages and have little transfer value. We are able to get Saul from Atletico, so it is good to see us get some return for Griezmann. However, we fear we will regret sending Griezmann away like we did with Suarez last season.

The BarcaBreakdown discuss LIONEL MESSI AND ARGENTINA WINNING THE COPA AMERICA!!!! Messi finally has his international trophy THANK GOD! Italy win the Euros at Wembley against England in a thrilling penalty shoot out!
We talk the triumph of Argentina, lead by Angel Di Maria's wonder goal, against Brazil at the Maracana! A historic victory that puts a check on one of the final boxes for Messi that was left open. De Paul, Di Maria, and Emiliano Martinez all looked wonderful against Brazil. We appreciate how Neymar congratulated Messi even in his moment of despair.
We also discuss Italy and their fantastic Euros that culminated in a dramatic win against Harry Kane and England. We mostly discuss how Southgate's penalty strategy was flawed in subbing in Rashford and Sancho late, while having 19 year old Saka take the final penalty.
MESSI DID IT!!! We still can't believe it. Let us know in the comments how pumped you are!

The BarcaBreakdown discuss Lionel Messi and Argentina making the Copa America 2021 Final Against Brazil! The penalty shootout versus Colombia was crazy, punctuated by the stellar performance by Argentine Goalkeeper, Emeliano Martinez. Messi continues to shine in this Copa, and we are all praying Argentina win the final this Saturday (even though some of us have been down this path before with tragic consequences for Messi/Argentina...)
We also discuss Messi taking a 50% wage cut next year to help the team afford other players. However, Tebas and La Liga seem to be indicating that even with the big pay cut, Barca's wages are out of control. We hope Laporta can continue transferring out large wage earners who offer little to the team, like Umtiti and Sergi Roberto.

The BarcaBreakdown discuss the huge news that Lionel Messi's contract has expired at FC Barcelona. For the first time since his youth, Messi is a free agent! However, thankfully, all signs point to Messi returning. Laporta has told everyone to be calm, and reports claim that only tax issues and La Liga's wage comments are standing in the way.
We also look forward to cheering on Messi in the Copa America, as Argentina are through to the Quarter Finals against Ecuador. What do you think is going to happen? Will Messi resign, or is there trouble brewing? Let us know in the comments!

The BarcaBreakdown discuss the latest injury to Ousmane Dembele in the Hungary France game of the Euros. We are huge Dembele fans and wish him a speedy recovery. However, this puts Barca and Laporta in a HUGE bind as Dembele's contract comes up in 2022. Barca must now either sign him or trade him this summer, or risk Dembouz going elsewhere for free next season.
With so many injuries to Dembele, we once again must ask whether we should throw more money at a big contract, or cut our losses. What do you think?

The BarcaBreakdown discuss the huge news that the FC Barcelona website posted Depay's Barca jersey, a huge clue that he will join the team soon. We also discuss Laporta's decision to move on and sell Trincao, which Koeman has supported if replacements are available. Pique has also been the first of the old guard of players to accept a lower wage for next season, which we hope will be a sign for players like Sergi Roberto, Alba, and Busquets to follow a similar path.
Though there are rumors of Depay to Juventus, most reports say he will come to FC Barcelona shortly. We are excited to see Depay with Leo Messi soon!!!! He brings a good goal scoring ability which we need as the last few games of 2021 we had a poor offense. However, our defense was an even bigger issue, and Pique choosing to accept a lower contract may help us afford Laporte or De Ligt.

The BarcaBreakdown discuss a few hot topics, including Wijnaldum deciding to join PSG instead of FC Barcelona, Ronald Koeman staying for next season, Messi/Dembele/Griezmann/Depay scoring international goals, rumors of Aymeric Laporte and Jose Gaya coming to Barca!
With Wijnaldum, we understand he is being offered DOUBLE the salary that Barca was offering. We appreciate that Laporta is sticking to his guns and not raising his wage offer to Wijnaldum like Bartomeu would have. Koeman will stay, even though we had been vocally opposed to the idea. However, when rubber hits the road, there were not many other coaches available and Koeman's exit fee was very high.
International break is starting off to a bang, with an ever bigger development of the Euros/Copa Americas to begin THIS WEEKEND!!! Thankfully, Messi was able to score a penalty and almost 2 free kick goals. Finally, Aymeric Laporte may come from Man City to bolster our defense, possible on a transfer involving Sergi Roberto. We also may have our challenger to push Jordi Alba in the form of Jose Gaya from Valencia.

The BarcaBreakdown discuss two HUGE signings in the form of Sergio Aguero and Erica Garcia. Both come from Manchester City and promise great, free signings for the next few years. Aguero comes as a Manchester City Legend, who looks to be our new striker option up front in an area Barca really need help in. Eric Garcia, on the other hand, is a La Masia talent coming back to Barcelona at 20 years of age. While Aguero is a bit past his prime and looking to be an immediate impact signing, Eric Garcia may take a bit longer to gain more skills and experience to help bolster our defense.
Garcia signs on for 5 years while Aguero signs on for 3. Both were presented at the Camp Nou and gave press conferences with Laporta in the past two days. We hope to see them play a big role in La Liga, the Copa Del Rey, and The Champions League next season!

The BarcaBreakdown discuss Joan Laporta's big, first press conference of the off season, as he discusses Koeman's future, the progress on Messi's contract negotiations, and the progress on the Super League. We discuss the pros and cons of Laporta's strategy.
On the one hand, it is refreshing to see Laporta speak directly to the public about his plans in comparisons with Bartomeu's presidency. The Super League, though very unpopular with fans, seems to be embraced by Laporta in a decision that puzzles us as the socio were supposed to vote on FC Barcelona entering the SL.
However, we are happy to hear that progress with Messi's renewal is happening. Though he has the Copa America to play with Argentina, it is looking like Messi is on his way to renew and stay at Barca.

The BarcaBreakdown discuss the news surround Laporta and Koeman's first meeting of the offseason, and the possibility that Koeman will stay....or get replaced by Pep Guardiola, Xavi, Pimienta, or even Thomas Tuchel this offseason.
We also discuss the big news that Wijnaldum is signing for FREE from Liverpool on a 3 year contract with Barca. Obviously, with young talents such as Puig, Ilaix, and Pedri this does raise some concern, but we think Wijnaldum will bring competition and a seasoned veteran who has CL experience.
We discuss Panic being upset at his first season at Barca and whether or not he will fit into the teams plans for next year.
