FC Barcelona continue shrewd transfer business with purchase of Cesc Fabregas – La Liga Special
La Liga followers breathed a sigh of relief as Cesc Fabregas finally completed his protracted move of three years. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Barcelona-c39078 have completed their squad for the upcoming campaign upon completion of this deal. With the completion of the transfer they, have
shown that not only do they play football with an unrivalled unique style but are exceptional in the transfer market.
Fabregas returns to his boyhood club from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 for a fee of 29 million Euros. The talented midfielder comes back after a hiatus of eight years and was being speculated to join for three years. With Arsenal holding out for a mammoth 40 million Euros, a
neutral ground could not be reached. However, the club did not want to buy him at an inflated price. At 29 million Euros, they have struck a bargain for a player of his calibre.
With Fabregas in the first team mould, Pep Guardiola finally has a worthy successor to Xavi who enters the final stages of his career. Blaugrana have a rich supply of budding midfielders in La Masia, with even the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thiago-c34888 Alcantara representing the
Spanish national team. There is no doubt about their potential, however, given their relatively young age and lack of top flight experience, none of them is ready to step in the shoes of the legendary midfielder.
The conclusion of Cesc Fabregas saga shows the shrewdness of Barcelona’s transfer strategy. They have remained proactive throughout the transfer season and have managed to get their top targets while letting go of their fringe players. Barcelona came in
for Fabregas’ signature only after they had offloaded the out-of-favour players, a strategy that partly financed the deal with the incoming cash.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Bojan-Krkic-c7794, Jefferen Suarez and Oriol Romeu have moved away from Camp Nou, looking to continuing their footballing development in other parts of the world. However, the sales conducted by the Catalans have been very intelligent and allows them to retain
an active stake in their careers.
Jefferen Suarez and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 respectively. In Jefferen Suarez’s contract, an additional sell-on clause is present that makes Barcelona receive a percentage of the transfer fee
should the youngster be sold in the future.
With some very unusual clauses, AS Roma were involved in a different kind of deal for Bojan. According to the final contract, Blaugrana have the right bring back Bojan for 13 million Euros in two years time and if the Italian club want to retain his services,
they will have to part company with 28 million Euros, effectively bringing the sale to 40 million Euros. The deal looks more like a loan agreement where Barcelona would be paying a million Euros to get rid of Bojan. However, it has greater significance than
that.
The clause gives Barcelona much needed cash and a promise of more should Bojan make an impact with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603. Part of Fabregas’ deal was financed by the money that came from the Roman coffers and more would be coming Barcelona’s way given Bojan’s pedigree.
Academy graduates have left Camp Nou while others have stepped up and taken their place. However, thanks to the long term vision of Sandro Rosell and the backroom, Barcelona have not lost them forever. The club has been involved in some very shrewd dealings
over the summer, which have to be lauded for the business and sporting genius behind them.
