So this 4th lever lets Barcelona register all their players apart from Kounde and M.alonso. While DeJong is still at the club.
They will register those two by getting rid of players like Depay, who they are now offering up free of a fee for anyone who will take him (step up Juve, they love a freebie), Pjanic, aubameyang possibly etc. And Pique supposedly forsaking whatbhe is owed and paying them to play for them.
So chances are, the claims that selling DeJong puts them in a position to sign Bernardo, are true/right, the transfer fee is comparable, the wages will be significantly less.
Might then cone down to our club's willingness to accept an amount or the timing of the deal. Still think it will be too little too late myself. But looks a lot more possible than it did last week.
