I Takeover Barcelona for 10 Seasons…Added:
It's now been a decade of pain for Barcelona. Zero Champions leagues and something's got to change for this next decade. And that's why I'm taking over Barcelona for 10 seasons. Our goal will be to win as many trophies as possible.
But of course, the Champions League will be the most important. Although this takeover is not going to be that easy cuz we all know about Barcelona's financial situation and that is going to be reflected in this takeover. Our starting budget is just going to be 25 mil and to increase that we're going to have to win trophies. Every La Liga win will get us 10 million added onto our starting budget and every Champions League win will get us 25 mil. Now to be honest, even with the limited budget, this squad has just got unbelievable talent. I mean, we've got the golden boy of football, Lamin Yamal, players like Pedri, Juan Garcia in goal, Rafinho is the captain. Okay, but wait, where's Marcus Rashford and Jiao Canelo? Oh, they've both gone back to their parent clubs because we are starting this takeover in the 2627 season and I don't think we're going to be able to bring them back cuz don't forget our budget for season 1 is going to be 25 mil. I don't know what we're going to do with that. For now, though, let's figure out our tactical system cuz as long as we can get the best out of the players we have here. Maybe not the Champions League, but La Liga, we can definitely win. I won't lie, boys. I want to play the Hansy flick a high line quick bossing. I know it has cost Barcelona quite a bit in recent years, but it's also given them so much with a limited squad. I feel like if we're able to grow our players, especially the defenders, this Hansiflick tactical system could actually work. Now, this is probably our best 11. And honestly, it does look really good. Apart from maybe a bit of weakness in our backline, we could do with a bit of experience there. And of course, up top, Robert Leandowski. I would love to replace him, but that's probably not going to happen for a while. We're going to need to win some big trophies if we want to do that. But you know what? With that 25 million, one signing that could really have a big impact, Enigo Martinez. In that brief period when he was at Barcelona, he was the leader of the back line. And as a temporary situation for us, I feel like Inigo Martinez would be perfect. But hang on, guys. Before we can make an offer, we've got an unexpected event from Juan Laorta, the president of Barcelona. The camp new renovation project has exceeded budget. Hence, the club needs to generate 100 million worth of player sales to balance the books.
Oh, and here I was thinking just signing Inigo Martinez would fix things. We could win La La Liga, have a good shot at the Champions League, but now instead we're going to have to gut the club. 100 million of player sales. We're not even going to be able to replace them. And 100 million is a lot, bro. We're going to have to sacrifice someone big. Do you know what? One player I think it might be time to sacrifice, Robert Leandowski.
We'll only get about 25ish million from him, but I think this is the play. Now, you guys know I don't like to stagen. We can get another 78 million for him. At the back, I'm also thinking of sacrificing Ronald Rajo cuz that could be a solid 30 million sale, probably even more. I know he's 27, got a bit of room to grow, but I think the sacrifice is going to be needed. Okay, I completely forgot that Ansuati was back from his loan spell. We could get a cheeky 15 million for him. I'll 100% take that. Wait a minute. Real Madrid wanting a Rajo. There's no way I'm selling him to Real Madrid. We'll reject this offer. I'm sure other clubs will be coming in for him. Meanwhile, we do get another big player sale in Robert Leandowski. Had to sacrifice him, boys.
He's 37. And with the 25 million we get from him, that puts us up to 40.5 million in player sales. So, good progress. And I'm also happy to say that Distan is getting pinned. Another cheeky 9 million putting us up to 49.5 million.
Good progress again. But now, this is a big one cuz Ronald Rajo has been sold not to Real Madrid, but to Atletico Madrid instead. They were willing to pay 36.9 million and that means we're up to 86.4. I guess we just need like one decent player sale. Honestly, I'm wondering who else can I really sacrifice cuz there aren't many players left. Oh man, this is going to leave our squad depth completely crushed at the back. But I think selling Christensen might be the only way. And yes, boys, 19.3 million for Christensen is the offer we get. That's easily going to put us over that 100 million in player sales. And there you go. Christensen has been sold. 100 million worth of player sales has been achieved. But at what cost, man, our squad I feel has been completely nullified. We've got no depth whatsoever, especially in the backline.
And even after all those sales, our budget is still going to be limited to 25 million. One thing I feel like we've got to do is just bring in Enigo Martinez at a fee of 9 million. This does really feel like the best we can afford. Okay, with Enigo Martinez's experience and also having Eric Garcia and Kasi, I think we should be fine at the back. But trusting Fantonis to be the only striker in the club, I feel like that's a bit risky. I feel like with this 11.5 million remaining, we've got to try and bring in another veteran at least to be on the bench in case of some injuries. And honestly, I can only think of Pierre Emerick Aubameyang, another former Barcelona player, 81 rated striker should be decent for the bench and a proper short-term solution.
My theory is that with Aubameyang providing squad depth, we could probably try and win La Liga, get the extra money sorted, and that could help us get upgrades in the future. But no way, guys, we can't afford the wages Aubameyang wants. This is genuinely a new law for this club. Now, the only other attacker I can think of right now is Diego Aspas. And the reason I'm considering him, he's got a habit of scoring constantly against Barcelona. I know he's 39, but as I said, we just need a player to help stabilize the situation, give us squad depth, and oh man, what a hustle this was. But we have signed another player, Diego Aspas, for 8 million. Honestly, I feel like we've made the best out of this situation cuz we only had 25 million to work with. And we've managed to bring in a couple of super experienced La Liga players. And by the way, upon converting Aspas to a striker, his overall actually went up to 83. Now, I think our squad is ready for the season, but I also feel like I've made a huge blunder. You see, Ferane Torres's contract is expiring. There's even interest shown by Real Madrid, which I don't understand, but we legit don't have the money to renew his contract this season, which means there's a good chance he might just leave for free. And I know Fane is in the craziest of players, but in our current financial situation, seeing a player leave for free could be catastrophic. And I don't think there's anything we can do about it. We just need to win trophies this season. in La Liga or the Champions League to boost our starting budget. Only then will we be able to bring in replacements. We're now making our way to the end of the season and forget the Champions League.
I just want to try and win La Liga. End of the season and we're starting with the Spanish Cup which we don't win.
Jirona won. We do win the Spanish Super Cup. We'll take that. It's not going to give an increase to our budget, but it is going to be trophy number one. I want to try and get to 25 trophies by the end of 10 seasons. So, it's a good start.
But the one that matters is going to be La Liga. Cuz if we win La Liga, that's going to give us a budget boost for next season. And seeing Real Madrid in third means that yes, we do win La Liga. 89 points. That means from next season onwards, we'll be starting with a base budget of 35 million. But okay, what about the Champions League? We finished seventh in the league phase. Knocked out Sporting in the round of 16. Oh, but Man City on penalties, man. The luck is just not there for Barcelona in the Champions League. But hey, this was only the first season. We made makeshift signings like Inigo Martinez and Aspas. And despite that, there were quite a bit of positives. Rafinho and Lamin Yamal being a couple of them. Solid stats. As long as we've got Yamal, Pedri, Rafinia, this team is always going to be competitive.
Also, I think Kasi grew quite a bit to 86. He should now be able to take Enigo Martinez's spot. So, after season 1, one trophy, but a bit of a failure in the Champions League, but hey, we're going to push forward in that competition next season, especially cuz our starting budget for season 2 is going to be 35 million. I feel like that extra 10 million could be a real gamecher. Right now, Juan Laorta is bringing in another unexpected event. Due to lack of funds last season, the board were unable to renew Ferrant Torres's contract. Hence, he signed a pre-contract deal with Arsenal. Not going to lie, boys, I feel like we saw this one coming from a mile away. But what a nail. We've just lost an 86 rated striker for free. He's valued at 83.5 million. Bro, that hurts.
And the insane thing is right now Diego Aspas is our only striker. We can't go into the season with this. At 35 million is going to need to go into a striker that can lead our line, but I don't think I can go for a veteran player. We might need to put our bets on maybe a youngster, someone that might not be super highrated, but has got the potential to be an absolute baller. And I think I found a very interesting striker that fits the bill. Hackin Panicelli, Argentinian, 24 years old.
There is potential. And you guys know what happened when there was an Argentinian last time at Barcelona. Also with Panicelli, he's not that young, 24 years old, so he'll still have the experience. I know you guys are thinking, we're Barcelona. We should be going for Harland, Julian Alvarez. But this is the current financial reality of the club. Players like Panicelli is all what we can afford and we're going to just need to rely on the talent this squad has. The likes of Yamal Pedri, but I do still have a lot of faith in Panicell, especially he can grow to maybe like an 83 overall by the end of the season. But yo guys, managing this club is absolutely brutal. We've got players like Baldi, Rafinha, Casado, Gerard Martin. All of their contracts are expiring and the signing of Panicelli completely DRAINED OUR BUDGET.
WE'VE GOT NO MONEY TO RENEW CONTRACTS.
JUST LIKE FERADORIS, all of these players might leave. And okay, wait. An offer is coming from Diego Aspas 8.2 million. That is crazy, man. We might get most of our money back from this Aspas sale. And actually, Como came in for an even bigger offer for Aspas 9.2 million. And that might legit save us, bro, cuz our budget's gone up to 7.5.
First thing I feel like I got to do is renew Rafinia's contract. I'm pretty sure if we offer him the same wages, he's going to reject. He will want a wage bump. How much is the question? 250 I think would be acceptable. We can afford that. And oh man, we're so lucky.
Rafinia stays and also we were able to renew Martin Casardo as well as Bald's contracts. Now that is a relief. Now as long as Spanishelli can bang in the goals, I think we should be able to defend La Liga. But ultimately it's the Champions League we need to especially get that big budget boost. End of the season and we continue stat padding the Spanish Super Cup. Trophy number three.
Oh, we don't win the Spanish Cup though.
And no, the trophy that mattered, La Liga, we lost by three points. This is bad, guys, cuz we don't get our budget boost. We're still going to be on 35 million next season. And we kind of need the money cuz you saw all that contract negotiation itself was so expensive. But okay, there's still hope in the Champions League. Ran a 16, easy draw.
Fenbach knocked them out. Another relatively easy draw against Dortmund.
We knocked them out as well. Bro, we've had the luckiest run in the semis. It was Newcastle. That means we're in the Champions League final after almost 11 years. It's going to be tough to win cuz it's PSG and they've got Usman Dembele, Deid, Dway, but hey, I feel like we've got a squad as well here. Look at Banelli up top up to an 84. Um, wait a minute. Where's Jules Kundi? I see Hector fought in that position. Not just that, even Danny Almo is gone. He's moved to Arsenal. Bro, we didn't even realize Juan Laortine for behind my back has completely gutted the club. It's a miracle we've managed to reach the Champions League final with this squad.
And I guess that miracle has a name and it's Lamin Yamal. 38 goals up to a 95 overall. Not going to lie, boys. We need to win the Champions League this season.
We won't get a better chance. That extra 25 million that will be added to our budget. That could bring in that Almo replacement. Probably a new right back.
But it's PSG we're facing. Man, I am so nervous. Lamin, it's all on you. Please just get Barcelona their first Champions League in 11 years. This is it. And oh my days in extra time, we did it.
Barcelona are kings of Udorf. It's only taken what 11 years. Let's flipping go.
That is trophy number four and the big one. But now I want to build on this. I don't want to wait another 11 years for the next Champions League. In this 10 season takeover, we want to make Barcelona the most dominant club. And okay, our budget of 60 million for season 3 is surely going to help. Now, coming off winning the Champions League, there's actually still a lot of work we need to do. The team needs a new right back. Definitely a camp cuz we lost even Danny Almo. So, someone for squad depth.
Also, I realized that Diego Aspasi retired, so we don't have a backup striker. There's so much to do, but we just have 60 mil. But before we do anything, the club's president has given us yet another unexpected event. Lame Yamal has demanded to become the club's highest paid player. And looks like we've got a couple of options. give him his new contract or he could decide to force a move out to be honest boys.
Lemal is on 140k per week which is crazy. How is Dong earning more than him? That is nuts. I think we can easily make Lemi Yamal the highest paid player at the club and also he's got a release clause of 340 million. That isn't far off from his market value. So I don't want Lemine leaving anyways. He's 95 rated, bro. And considering all the financial limitations we have at this club, a player like Lem we've got to keep no matter what. Oh my days. He wants a 750 million release clause.
We're not doing that. Lamin is priceless. And okay, he has demanded a bumper contract, but you know what? It isn't too bad. 300,000 per week for a player like Lamin. I I'll take that.
It's a big signing bonus. But this year, we're going to tie Lamin for the next 6 years at Barcelona. Now, it was expensive cuz we're down to 48 million.
And I'm now thinking instead of signing a right back, we do have Hector Fort who's only 21. I mean, we won the Champions League with him. Should we just trust him? Cuz with the money we've got, I'd rather than just sign a striker and a camp for the bench, build our squad depth, and also man, once again, we've got a ton of contracts to renew.
Now, we sorted all those contracts, but it's come at a price. The budget has gone down to 42 mil. Okay, I'm now looking through cams in La Liga. If we can find a couple of players that fit our budget and looks like we do have a couple of interesting options. First one, Pablo Tore. Played for Barcelona before, but couldn't really hack it. But now they're almost gone. I feel like Tore would be a great option off the bench. But there's an even better player here, Dro Fernandez. He's obviously got a lot of flack from Barcelona fans lately because he betrayed Barca and joined PSG. But to be honest, I don't mind giving him a second chance at Barca. Bringing him back, he could be great backup for Famine. And also, he's young enough to maybe make that spot his own in the future. Plus, for the price, man, you can't go wrong. We can get him for under 11 mil. And there you go, boys. Stro is returning to Barcelona.
Meanwhile, guys, I think I found the perfect player for the backup striker spot. And Mark Du, don't forget he used to play for Barcelona before, but again there was just no pathway for him to get regular game time, so he left. But now we do have the 26 million to sign him.
So of course we're bringing him back. I do feel like now that our budget is a bit better. We don't have to sign like veteran players. We can bring in young talents like Yu and Thro Fernandez. Of course, I do still want to get Barcelona back to the point where we can make superstar signings, but for that we got to keep winning more trophies. End of the season and we do win the Spanish cup to start things off. Trophy number five.
Oh, no Spanish Super Cup. We lost to Atleti, but we did win the UEFA Super Cup thanks to winning the Champions League last year. Six trophies now, but I'm hoping for the big one. We need La Liga for that budget boost. And we do get back to winning La Liga and by a big margin. Next season, we're now going to have 70 mil. I'm hoping though in the Champions League and we go back to back during the last decade of Madrid's dominance. The fact that they were able to repeat the Champions League, that's something I want to try and do in this takeover as well for that. We need to win it now. Ah, but we got knocked out in the semis by Chelsea. That's just Barcelona for you, man. We were almost perfect this season, but again, we bottled it. But hey, still a lot of positives, especially in Wakin Panicelli, bro. He's up to 87 right now.
What a player. Lamine keeps delivering, man. New contract. He's up to 96.
Rafinho with a stellar season with both goals and assists. Also, looks like the signings we made in Gu and Dro, they're proving to provide really good squad depth. Hector fort as well is up to an 80 overall, but let's keep pushing, boys. Three seasons, seven trophies is good, but I want more. Season 4 and we start off with 70 million. Slowly but surely, that budget keeps going up. I'm really hoping that this season we can do the double. That way, our budget will be over 100 mil. But right now, we got to work with 70 mil. And looks like we're going to have quite a bit of work cuz Juan LAORTA HAS HAD A MASSIVE FALLOUT with Rafinia. And the president now wants me to sell him. Bro, he had 40 goal contributions last season, man.
He's our captain. I think I know why Laaporta is doing this, man. Rafilia is 32. If we sell him now, we're going to get over 150 mil. He just wants to make a solid profit, man. And we're going to have to make it happen. The annoying thing is we're still going to have just 70 million to bring in that Rafinia replacement. This is annoying, man. Cuz I know Rafiniah had a couple more years in him. And I would love to have sold him later on when we maybe had more budget to replace him cuz now we only have 70 million to bring in that Rafinia replacement. And I really wanted it to be Nico Williams. He would have been just perfect for our team. But he's completely out of our budget. I feel like with a limited budget like this, we might need to just make a temporary signing. Someone like Lewis Diaz. I know he's 32 just like Rafinhia, but he is 86 rated and he should be able to fill in that big gap left by Rafiniah. Plus, I've got to say Lewis Diaz is one of my favorite footballers right now. He is so so good down the left and I think for 50 million we are getting a very solid player here.
End of the season and not bad from Luis Diaz. 16 goals played a good supporting role to Panicelli who scored 33 times.
Lamin, best player in the world. 50 goal contributions this season. And oh, it does feel good to be back in the Champions League final. And we could get revenge against Chelsea. They knocked us out last season. First though, let's see if we won any more trophies. Yes to the Spanish Super Cup where we destroyed Real Madrid. Trophy number eight. Oh, we don't win the Spanish cup. Can we get La Liga and the extra budget money? We do.
Let's go. And it was close. I think we won on head-to-head record against Madrid. Okay, up. That's trophy number nine. And next season, we're going to have at least 80 million, but it could go above 100 mil if we can just beat Chelsea. And not going to lie, I do feel like we've got the team. Couple of positions are a bit weak, like of course left mid with Lewis Diaz. Hector Ford isn't growing like I expected, but everywhere else it does look pretty darn insane. Come on, let's try and win our second Champions League. Is this going to be it? Yes, indeed. Panelli actually missed the pen, but he did end up scoring still. Lewis Diaz in fact got a goal. So, yep, he ended up being a successful signing. That's now 10 trophies we've won in four seasons. By the way, guys, one strategy that's really worked well for me was that I've been loaning out a lot of the young talents we've got at the club like Chavy Espart. That's why he's now up to a 75 overall and he's now a very capable backup right back. I did the same for Mark Bernal and he's now got the same overall as Casado. And even this Yakob Bishilli, he's become a better goalkeeper than Pina. But yeah, this season the plan is to definitely improve that left midfield spot. I don't think Louiswis Diaz should be a starter on Hector Fort. I'm still unsure. Maybe we just need to give Hector for a bit more time to grow. But wait a minute, our unexpected event for the season. The president wants you to sign a superstar English player. I know where this is coming from. Laora probably saw all the shirt sales we got when Rashford was at the club. He's probably still seeing the crazy shirt sales with both Trent and Bellingham at Madrid and he wants a bit of that juicy pie. So, I guess for the left midfield position, we are going to have to bring in an English player.
Although, I don't think Marcus Rashford's going to be an option anymore. He's only 80 overall. And you know what? This could be an opportunity to sign one of England's most hyped wonder kids, Rio and Gumoha. 84 overall, just 21. And we are pulling out the checkbook for this signing. 90 million for Rio. It's taken us five seasons, but Barcelona are back to signing the best talents in football. Also, guys, I may have made an oopsie. We went all in on Rio and Kamoha without even realizing that we've just got two center backs at the club, Kubasi and Garcia. Christensen and Ol have retired, so we've got literally no depth. This could be a rough season in case either one of these guys get injured. Okay, looks like the center back problem didn't really cost us in La Liga. We do end up winning it.
Trophy number 11. No Spanish Super Cup, but yes to the Spanish Cup trophy number 12. And that means we're also going to be on for the treble. Oh, but come on.
We start off poorly by losing the UEFA Super Cup, but okay, Champions League, we finished top eight. I really want to try and get to the final so we can win two in a row. And oh, we destroyed Bayern Munich. This has given me a lot of confidence. Oh, but Juventus knocked us out in the quarters, winning backto-back Champions Leagues, bro. It's It's proving to be a real nightmare.
Five seasons in, we're on 12 trophies.
The team is still looking insane, but we got to keep working, man. There's still the center back problem we need to address. probably could do something for the right back spot, but yeah, we've got to try and get back to winning the Champions League. Now, one good thing that we've solved so far is the financial situation of the club. 115 million is going to be our budget for season 6, and it's only going to get bigger and better. Here comes Juan Laorta's unexpected event. The club is disappointed after repeated failures in the Champions League, and it wants to rejuvenate the squad by selling any players above the age of 32. I feel like this is a bit tricky for us because it means Frankie Dong who's 34. He's going to be gone. Eric Garcia, okay, no, he's 30. That's perfect. We get to keep him.
And actually, Dong was the only old pair in our starting 11. Apart from that, I think we've got Luis Diaz, who we're going to have to sell. He's 34. But yeah, in general, this is a super young Barca team. I don't mind selling Dong and Lewis Diaz. Meanwhile, Luis Diaz was an easy sell. He's gone to buy Leakusen.
Now, remember, all this money, it's going straight into the club's coffers.
We're still going to be limited with of course 115 million being our budget. Oh man, the fact that 111 million offer is coming for Dong and we can't use that money. To be honest, as crazy as it sounds, I think Dong's departure is not going to affect us all that much cuz we've got Gabby who probably was waiting for an opportunity like this to become a starter. And also for depth, we've got Casado and Mark Bernal. What we need to do with our money this season is bring in a center back cuz we've got literally no depth there. That's kind of what let us down last season in the Champions League. But yes, apart from that, we probably could do with the left midfielder. And you know what? I really like the Spaniard. Christian Moscera, 84 rated center back. Should be a solid option for our bench. And there you go.
We're snapping him up for 50 million now to replace Luis Diaz. There's a really good young talent from Ko. Asane Dia.
Okay, he's still playing there. Okay guys, I overestimated our financial ability. We're not going to be able to sign him. We've got about 50 million left and Dia is worth about 100. That just shows that we need to win more trophies to get our money up. Now, another left midfielder. We might just be able to sign Matias Fernandez Pardau.
84 rated, good pace. Going to be a bit tricky with our budget, but somehow we've just about pulled it off. Okay, I know we lost to Young this season, but overall I feel like our team is better, more well balanced, a younger bench, more talented as well, and come on, I'm really hoping we can get back to winning the Champions League. Okay, to start with, we've absolutely destroyed La Liga, which is kind of expected now. Our team is insane. Trophy number 13 with that and also it's going to put our budget up to 125 million for next season. We also do win the Spanish Super Cup making it 14 trophies. No Spanish Cup. I can't, bro. Atletico Madrid knocked us out in the Champions League.
How do we keep bottling, man? Honestly, just two Champions leagues with this crazy Barca team that we've got. I mean, just look at some of the ratings of this team. Lamin Yal is 96. Pedri is 97. Juan Garcia 96 as well. I do feel like soon a player like Laminal, he's going to want to end up leaving to a club where he can consistently win the Champions League cuz yeah, just winning two in six seasons not good enough. And I knew this was coming. Our unexpected event for season 7. Lamin Yamal's agent Horge Mendes has come in with a stipulation.
If Barcelona failed to become champions of Europe, he will put Lem on the transfer market. I can't lie, boys. This has put pressure on us like never before. If we bottle the Champions League, Lamine could be gone and it's basically going to be impossible to replace him with a similar player cuz there's no one like him. We've now got 125 million and we got to make sure this helps us win the Champions League. And I can't lie, boys. There's a couple of weaknesses in the team. One would be right back and the other would be center back. I think Eric Garcia at an 88 overall can still hold his own, but as Hector thought, we've given him chance after chance. He's grown okay, but right now with the Champions League on the line, we need more than okay. And I've just found an 89 rated Scottish right back at Real Sashidad. I don't know how he got there, but unbelievable, bro.
He's worth like 200 million. As I said, guys, unless we start winning the Champions League consistently, we're not going to be able to make superstar signings like this. We might just have enough money to sign Gyro Reed 89 rated right back. But it is going to be really close, man. Our budget is 125 million.
We're going to try 110. Nah, bro. It's not going to be possible. We're going to have to compromise. Now I found another right back in La Liga. Povic plays for Villa Royale. 22 years old, 85 rated.
Kind of similar to Hector Ford, but I think he can really grow. Maybe give Ford some competition. Now this we can afford at 70 mil. I'm still not sure if this is good enough to win the Champions League. Bro, I still wanted to replace Eric Garcia, but it's not possible this season. I'm just hoping it won't come to losing Lamin man. End of the season. And again, we start off with La Liga, which we've got completely locked in. That puts our budget now up to 135 million for next season. We also win the Spanish Super Cup. That's a couple more trophies that we've now just won up to 16. Oh, we lost the Spanish Cup final. Man, that's so annoying. But now this is what matters. The Champions League. Lem's future at the club depends on this. And we start off by just about knocking out Kiev. I can't, man. I just can't. How do we keep bottling it in the Champions League? Another qualified exit. And you know what this means, guys? Horge Mendes said it. We don't win the Champions League. Lamin is going to look out for himself for the betterment of his career. And there's the message from Juan Laaporta. Lamin Yamal has secured a deal with Manchester City. Guys, I really have no idea how we're going to come back from this. Our best player, Lem, who we grew to a 96 overall. He's gone. And to be honest, we can't even blame him. He's not going to be like Messi to sit around at our club as we keep bottling Champions leagues. He wants to try and win Palon doors and whatnot. And now we've got a monumental task of getting this club back on track without Lamine. We do have 135 million, but honestly, I have no idea who can come in and do what Lamin Yamal did.
There are barely any players like that in the world of football, if any. Okay, wait, there is one I can think of. A certain Brazilian, Esteo, 89 rated, 26 years old, and I think his contract is expiring at Wolves. We could get a solid deal. And not going to lie, boys, Esteo signing might just have saved our club.
He's not Lamin Yama, but he's a very capable player in his own right. For 100 million, we're bringing him in. Okay, the team with Esteo still looks very competitive, but again, without Lamine, I really don't know what to expect. And okay, guys, without Lamin, it was tough to win La Liga, but we still did it. The budget is now going to be 145 million for the upcoming season and also with up to 17 trophies. Unfortunately, though, Real Madrid beat us on penalties in the Super Cup, but we do win the Spanish Cup 18 trophies. Now, if we somehow win the Champions League, it's going to be our first treble. And okay, we've topped the league phase. Round of 16, we knocked out AC Milan. What the finals we get through Atéico? That's revenge. Oh, but look at Man City with Laminal absolutely destroying teams. Semi-finals, we knock out Arsenal. Of course, man, it had to be a Barca versus City final. Lamin Yamal facing us. And he's had a really solid Champions League campaign as well.
And look at the team he's playing with.
He's got Harland and Du as teammates. No wonder he dipped to Man City, bro. And look at that, boys. Esta Lem's replacement. He kind of had cold feet, man. He couldn't live up to the big name. Instead, we had Firmine who really stepped up. Panicelli keeps performing and goes up to a 93 overall. Rio and Kubuha finally coming through as well.
91 rated. But here we go, boys. A Champions League final after so long.
This is an opportunity for us to prove that Lamine was wrong to leave and it would be our third Champions League in eight seasons. Can we do it? Moment of truth. And yes, and it's a big win.
Lamine did score, but we outscored Man City and got the job done. Trophy number 19. A triple has been completed. And if I'm not wrong, we've got two seasons left. And if we win the Champions League in both seasons, we could still do the repeat. Things have now finally gotten interesting. And oh man, it's been a grind, but we finally have our biggest budget yet. €170 million. It's taken nine seasons, but financially we've gotten Barcelona right back on track.
And I'm thinking with that 170 mil, it's time to get a better center back than Eric Garcia. Also, I'm thinking right back, but I'm not sure if we're going to have funds for that. These two are the only positions right now that are costing the club. But wait a minute.
Lamin has convinced his good buddy Fermine Lopez to make the move to Manchester City. And I can't believe it.
one. Laorta has signed off on it. They first stole Lamine who's now 98 rated and now they've gotten Famine as well.
That is crazy. Well, there goes my plan of signing a center backers. Now, signing a new Cam is absolute priority.
If there's money left, we'll also go for a defender. But honestly, bro, after Firmina Goner City, you bet they're going to be in the Champions League final again. And I'm hoping we can get there, too. I'm desperate to try and beat them. Okay, now this might sound crazy, but I want to go for a former Real Madrid player. You know what? This could be revenge for what Real Madrid did with Luis Figo. And to be honest, in this save, Nico Pas has not been in Madrid for like nine seasons. He's been at Como. I think it's perfectly fine for us to sign him up. He's 89 rated would be a solid replacement for Famine. Also, it is kind of emotional for us to have a left footed Argentinian back in the team. I'm also thinking, could we bring in maybe an older center back, someone higher rated than Garcia? Cuz man, that's all that we can afford for 69 million. Huh, this would be absolutely perfect. an experienced William Saliba who's now 33 over negotiating with New Gel. We've got to act quick. Oh, we just don't have the money for Saliba. This is so frustrating. I was thinking maybe someone like Po, but he's even more expensive because of the fact that we lost that for me and had to replace him with Nico. I don't think that this season we can bring in a new center back. To be honest, I do feel like Mosca might outgrow Eric Garcia and end up becoming a starter. We'll see if that happens. But this team is still very competitive. We're making our way through the season now. And don't forget, end of the season, boys, and we continue dominating La Liga. Trophy number 20. That is also putting our budget up to 180 million. We also win the Spanish Super Cup. Trophy number 21.
Make that 22 with the Spanish Cup. Could we do another treble? Firstly, we do win the UEFA Super Cup 23 trophies. Guys, this has so far been a perfect season.
We've topped our Champions League group.
We knock out PSV and Inter and Chelsea in the semis. It's going to be Bayern Munich in the final. I find it really funny, boys, that without Leam Yamal, we've made two back-to-back Champions League finals. Yo, Panelli has definitely been the MVP of this takeover. Every season, he keeps performing. 92 overall as well. 832, bro. 98 rated. I don't know if we'll be able to get him to a 99, but this is still solid. Esta is sadly not putting up numbers like Lamin Pah. What really matters is that we've made another Champions League. We win this, it's going to be back to back. And then last season we can go for the three repeat.
Can we pull this off? Yes, we can. Kasi scoring Rio and Kumoa as well. And beating Bayern Munich definitely feels nice. 24 trophies. Hang on though. An unexpected event for season 10. Juan Laorta wants his golden boy back at Barcelona. Sign Lamal back by any means necessary. Okay, I don't want to be the one to say it, but things are going quite well for us without Lamin. Do we really need to bring him? I guess the club president basically just wants that superstar in the team. And to be fair, Stau's numbers weren't that crazy. And I don't think Lamine's the reason we weren't winning enough Champions leagues cuz he ain't like the dictator Mbappe.
But honestly though, with a budget of 205 million, how are we supposed to bring in Lamin? Well, he's literally worth 280 million. But okay, Laora said by any means necessary. So I reckon if I do a swap deal putting Esteo in, chuck in maybe say 150 million, maybe we could get a deal. Oh my days, they also want 264 million plus Esta. How on earth are we going to bring Lammen Yamal home?
Okay, they're going to take a bit of time to decide and they're still wanting like 264 million, man. How do we even pull this signing off? No, bro. I feel like 180 million plus Esta is a fair deal. Okay, let's try 190 million.
Please work. I know they finally accepted it. Let's go. What I'm worried about now is do we have the money to give Lamein Yamal a contract? And looks like he's changed agents, boys, cuz that's not Horge Mendes. Maybe that's why he's willing to come back to us. And he also saw us win backto-back Champions leagues. Can I offer him like 800k? Oh my days. I can only offer him 500k. That is crazy, bro. We literally cannot afford to give Lammen a contract. How insane is that? I'm going to have to find another way. It's always freaking Atletico Madrid, man. Capitalizing on our crazy situations. They want Esteal for 180 million. I'm wondering if we delegate, could we get more money? Let's just give it a go. Meanwhile, we could get about 17 million by selling Jav Espart. That could probably fund half of Flamingium's wages. Let's sell him. And okay boys, at least we're fleecing Atletico Madrid for 200 million. And there you go boys. Est to Atletico. Why do I feel like I've just gifted them La Liga? Hopefully not though. But now we're cooking up with 403 million. And all right, boys. Straight away 310 million. I feel like finally after fixing Barcelona's finances, we're back to doing things that got them into that financial situation in itself. The board wants Laminal. I want Lamin. It looks like for 330 million, we are going to get him. And bro, his wages just increased at Man City. He was surely earning like 800K or something, but now he's earning 900. I'm going to have to pay him like 800K. Let's see if that works. It does work. The fact that in season 1 with Barcelona, we started off at 25 million, kept growing that budget season after season, and now it's enough for us to sign Lamin Yamal. He's back at Barcelona, and he's got a job to do. All right, Lemine, you've now got to prove to us that you weren't at fault that we didn't win more Champions Leagues in the first few seasons cuz hey, we're coming off backto back Champions League wins.
You've got to help us get the three repeat now. You've got the team 98 to1 Garcia, 98 Pedri, and you yourself are 98 rated, bro. Final season. Let's go out there and get the Champions League in the bag, bro. Do we need to have Lamine dictator allegations? Cuz how on earth do we end up losing La Liga after signing him, bro? He was actually the top scorer as well, but everybody else scored a lot less. That is not good for the allegations, bro. Also, we still need one more trophy to get to 25. Are we going to get that? Yes, we are.
Spanish Super Cup. We also won the Spanish Cup 26 trophies. So, at least Namin is winning. We lost the UEFA Super Cup though. Oh my days. It's all on the Champions League, bro. In this takeover, the main objective was to try and win as many Champions Leagues as possible. And now we could make it a big success by doing the three repeated ending all the Barcelona bottle job nonsense. And okay, we start off by knocking out Ko. Good thing we signed Niko Pass from them.
Waterfalls, we get through Man City. I kind of feel bad for Famine Lopez cuz he kind of joined them for Lamin Yamal. And then we signed Lamine from them. But anyway, semi-finals, we knock out Livick and it's going to be Juventus. So Lamine, you've got a chance to prove yourself now. Get us the three beat. I think we should be able to get it done.
Although Rio is injured, but I think he should be able to play. Can Barcelona win THREE IN A ROW? YES, THEY CAN.
Compared to the last decade, we've actually made Barcelona a serious club this decade. I'd say that makes this takeover an absolute success. And if you enjoyed this video, watch me take over the world's richest club. Click here.
