Regretful, Joan Laporta Admits It's Too Late: Goodbye Barça, Destination Premier League

Joan Laporta has done a great job in recent years to restore the financial stability of FC Barcelona. The departure of Lionel Messi, the sale of several assets and the famous economic levers have been some of the tools he has used to improve the club's situation. Thanks to these decisions Barça has managed to stabilize and is now in a healthier economic position.

With the club having regained the 1:1 Fair Play rule Barça can now spend everything they earn, which opens the door to new signings. Joan Laporta's main goal is to strengthen the offensive area to ensure the team's competitiveness in such a tight schedule. With players like Lewandowski, Raphinha and Lamine Yamal as key pieces Barça still needs more alternatives since right now only Ferran Torres can give them a break.

Joan Laporta Seeks a Luxury Substitute

The starting trident of Barça continues to deliver results but Joan Laporta knows the club is taking a big risk as they have no replacement. Neither Ansu Fati nor Pau Víctor have the confidence of Hansi Flick who doesn't see them as an option for his scheme. This leaves Ferran Torres as the only substitute in an offensive line that continues to seek more depth.

Due to this situation Joan Laporta has focused his attention on the transfer market to find a reinforcement that provides quality and alternatives. The name that has been most mentioned in recent weeks is Jamie Gittens, a winger from Borussia Dortmund. A player who has dazzled in the Bundesliga with his speed, dribbling and ability to make a difference.

Jamie Bynoe-Gittens Clarifies His Future

Jamie Gittens is an emerging talent at just 20 years old but has already amply demonstrated his quality in the elite of European soccer. His ability to play on both wings his great speed and his ability to connect with his teammates make him an attractive option for any top-level team. With seven goals and three assists in the Bundesliga this season Bynoe-Gittens has caught the attention of several clubs like FC Barcelona: Joan Laporta considers him a future star.

However despite Barça's interest it seems that Jamie Gittens is more likely to end up in the Premier League than in LaLiga. Borussia Dortmund aware of their player's value wants to negotiate with the English knowing that their economic potential is much greater. And due to his performance we could be talking about a signing that could exceed 100 million, an amount that Joan Laporta will not pay.

Joan Laporta Seeks New Alternatives

With the possible departure of Jamie Bynoe-Gittens to the Premier League Joan Laporta will have to redirect his efforts toward other options to strengthen FC Barcelona's attack.

Although Jamie Gittens seemed to be the ideal option Barça will not fall behind and will seek alternatives to strengthen their offensive line. The coming weeks will be key to determining who will be the new target of the culé board although everything indicates that Nico Williams will once again be a major player this summer.
