It’s coming down to the wire for Barcelona.
The question is whether the team is better off today than it was at the close of last season. A season without trophies. Hard to say the answer is yes.
There’s a new manager in town, and lots of new faces. Most of them, however, are young players from the academy who are being given their first shot at first division Spanish football.
Add Dani Olmo to the mix, and that’s it, with just about a week to go before the summer transfer window closes.
For Barcelona, given the current financial struggles they are navigating, departures are just as important as arrivals.
