Barça already knows that it will have to activate the fourth lever… and something else – Marca

Although Joan Laporta insisted during Robert Lewandowski’s presentation that the fourth lever was authorized just in case and they hoped they would not have to resort to it, at the Barça institution they already know that they are going to need it. Those who handle this matter in the Catalan entity already know first-hand the interpretation of the employers’ association. They know that the figures they have presented will not be enough for them. They will need to activate the fourth lever and do some more management. In fact, we already explained here that the Barça entity will need, in addition to that fourth operation, to release Memphis Depay and do something with Frenkie de Jong: either a substantial reduction in his salary or good to close his transfer this summer. Laporta himself recognized some concern in some of the signings when he negotiated his incorporation with them. For example, it was the case of Robert Lewandowski. In fact, to reassure him and finish unblocking the operation, he was promised that he would be the first to be registered. In principle, according to club sources, the Pole’s participation from the first day is not in danger.
