The destination becomes the center of attention for Barcelona fans. Barcelona firmly believe that

would renew their contracts to stay with the team, and

I also finally made the decision to stay.
However, the failure to complete the signing before the expiration of the contract on June 30, as expected, has certainly caused Barcelona a great deal of distress. Regardless, Barcelona will need to pay for

Re-registration is carried out, a process not dissimilar to newly invoked entry. However, Barcelona faces the problem of an overstretched wage bill when it comes to registering new players. Dutch striker Depay, who was exempted from signing this summer, has not been able to play in official matches because he is unregistered, despite having joined Barcelona's pre-season preparatory training.
Barcelona's first pre-season warm-up match is against Liga B side Tarragona. If Depay had completed his registration, he could well have featured in such a match, helping to integrate the team more quickly.
In this game, Barcelona's starting eleven, except for center back Pique, all other positions are first team substitutes or B team players. And the two B-team players were also very eye-catching.
First, Manaj, Barcelona B's top scorer last season, scored a hat-trick to help Barcelona to a 4:0 win.
Secondly, Barcelona B captain Corrado also scored a goal in the match.
Manaj has been rumored to be in the lower divisions of England and Spain recently, and the player has listened to this. Despite scoring a hat-trick in this game, he did not show his determination to Barcelona's first-team boss Ronald Koeman. After signing Aguero and Depay, Barcelona would like to bring in another striker. Why go through all the trouble of finding a foreigner if someone from the B team can stand out?
Unlike Manaj, Corrado was developed by Barcelona's La Masia youth camp. Despite not playing much first-team action for Barcelona, he has always been in the spotlight. in December 2020, Real Madrid executives inquired about Corrado's contract situation. Borussia Dortmund and Sampdoria have also shown interest in his abilities.
With Koeman recently loaning the more appreciated Trincom to Wolves, it may open up opportunities for Corrado to stay at Barcelona.
After Barcelona's 4:0 win over Tarragona, Corrado said, "I will fight to get playing time in the first team and will not go back to Barcelona B. Not ruling anything out, but my goal is to get a foothold in the first team."
If you want to get a foothold in the first team, then

Where will it go from here? Corrado plays as a right winger, and the right winger in Barcelona's traditional 433 formation, which was previously

The Position. Is a young player kicking up from the B-team going to compete with the May Ballon d'Or for a spot?
It was just a joke.

There is still a long way to go to sign a new contract with both Barcelona. How to deal with the many highly paid players in the team is the biggest headache for Barcelona at the moment. Also.

Despite agreeing to take a half-pay cut, signing a 5-year contract is still a lot of money. As for
Lionel Messi (1987-), Argentine footballer
Where he'll be at 38 or 39 is anyone's guess. Barcelona are leaning towards a 2 year contract up front, but not sure about that either

Agree or not.
Barcelona could face the prospect of not having

The situation.
Secondly.

It's not that you can only play on the right side of the field, Dembele and Fathi have played well on the right side of the field before. Left winger, center forward or even center forward.

Both are competent. Corrado sticking with the first team is not without its chances, but of course, it's up to Koeman to give it a chance.
