Has anyone EVER seen this be something that actually needed a rule like this for?

Trippier to Atletico for roughly 20 million pounds is probably the least expected transfer so far. I don't know if it's a good or a bad one, but definitely unexpected.

I guess there are not too much good players in that position and Atleti needs one (They wanted Semedo, but after the Griezmann issue they don't have good realtions with Barça).

Although, English players in Spain don't have a good record, Gary Lineker in Barcelona is the only sucesful one I remember right now.

It's a complicated matter due to the number of people involved and the conditions of any such deal, but Paris Saint-Germain, and coach Thomas Tuchel, have recognised that he wants to leave.

The first obstacle is the price, given that Barcelona have already spent 225 million euros on Frenkie de Jong (75 million euros), Neto (26 million euros), Antoine Griezmann (120 million euros) and on Tuesday, Marc Cucurella (4 million euros).

Until now, the only departure this season has been Sergi Palencia moving to Saint Etienne for a few million euros as Jesper Cillessen, Denis Suarez, Andre Gomes and Marc Cardona's exits all contributed to last season's figures.

That means that Barcelona start the negotiations for Neymar being 223 million euros out of pocket and with the Brazilian valued at 175 million euros to 200 million euros, they could easily reach at least 400 million euros in deficit.

This year, FIFA indicate that the difference between spending and sales on transfers cannot exceed 100 million euros, which would mean that Barcelona would have to rake in 300 million euros in transfers between now and June 30, 2020.

Such sales would mean a real shak -up of the team, not only for the amount of money but also for the time in which there is to achieve it.

Barcelona must know how much money they have available to make an offer to PSG, which may mean that some sales are agreed in advance of talks over Neymar.

There are a number of players who are following the situation closely, with the first being Philippe Coutinho, who has been on the market for some time, not only to fund a move for Neymar but also for Griezmann, but he is yet to find a destination, though PSG could be one.

How does Barca even plan on staying afloat with all this spending they're doing?

Hajduk Split just got knocked out of the Europa League by some team from Malta with a 3-3 aggregate score. Second leg was played in Split and the away team scored the killer at 97th minute, lmao. The last two goals were insane though.
