Warned Wednesday Reverter, CEO of Barcelona, during the presentation of the due diligence that the salary mass in the Barça entity had skyrocketed. It is not strange considering that Bartomeu had signed six of the 10 most expensive players in the history of the Barcelona. But looking only at the reinforcements brought by the Catalan businessman, there was no relationship between pr
more expensive and better performance. In fact, of the 10 players he paid the most for, only
De Jong
he has had a prominent role in the team since his arrival and is meeting expectations. Dutch is a fixture for
Koeman
and it is in a clear line of growth. It was one of the great successes of
Bartomeu
, which paid for the international 75 million euros plus 11 in variables.
Coutinho
tops the list of most expensive transfers in
Bartomeu
, with 120 million plus 40 in variables, and the performance has not been as expected. In fact, the
Barcelona
it has tried to transfer it in several markets but with no luck. The player does not finish finding his place in the eleven, he had to leave on loan to
Bayern
, and to this is added a serious knee injury that has had him without playing for eight and a half months.
The 120
kilos
from
Griezmann
they also appear in this particular ranking. The now rojiblanco has always been very questioned and has not met expectations.
Dembélé
complete top-3. The
Barcelona
paid 105 million fixed, more variable, and the French does not finish exploiting. In addition, the continuous injuries are weighing him down.
De Jong, the fourth
The Dutch appears in fourth position and in fifth,
Pjanic
. The Bosnian came to
Camp Nou
for 60 million plus 5 in variables, but he was totally ostracized. So much so that last summer it was transferred without a purchase option to
Besiktas
.
Bad with
is the sixth in the table. A signing that also lasted only one season. After paying the
Barcelona
41 million euros, left the entity without being able to succeed. The fierce competition, as well as the little confidence that
Valverde
deposited in him, they forced him to leave the
Camp Nou
. In this case, the entity recovered the investment. In August 2017, the
Barcelona
announced the arrival of
Paulinho
for 40 million. He was only there for one season and performed well. Of course, it went from more to less, but the imminent arrival of
Arthur
and his secondary role in the decisive matches made the player decide to go to the
Guangzhou Evergrande
.
André Gomes, Lenglet and Semedo
Lenglet
is another of the proper names. The
Barcelona
made effective the payment of its clause of 35.9 million, but it has gone from more to less. Even last season he was pointed out in many of the goals that the team received and this season he no longer starts as a starter.
André Gomes
, with 35 million euros plus 20 in variables, is also among the most expensive signings in
Bartomeu
and it did not triumph either. He went to
Everton
by 25 more variables. The Portuguese was the star signing in 2016, but he did not finish finding his place and ended up on the transfer list.
Close this ranking of the 10 most expensive signings in
Bartomeu, Semedo.
The club paid 30 million euros, plus 5 in variables, the same amount that it recovered after transferring it to the
Wolverhampton
. With an intermittent performance, he never settled on the right back, a position that has given the club a lot of headaches.
