After appropriately sharing duties amongst the team, Alex decided to announce other changes and moves he's been making prior to the board meeting "I've been in a meeting with the board of Nike, in the first week of my ascension as president, where the meeting went fruitful with Nike deciding to put more efforts into giving us or Barcelona a sponsorship contract that fits international approved standards and meets our current requirements to compete with our rivals.
So Reverter, it's your duty to see to it that the contract negotiations is finalized and fully signed and approved by this board".
Gentlemen I've been in conversation with a few agents representing players we wish to target, for low cost transfers and free transfers, and I'm assured of their clients readiness to commit to signing for barca and to further make you understand the quality of the players I'm talking about:
Manuel Locatelli has assured me he's ready to commit to barca, as well as skriniar are in their final years of Contract and would be able to come for small fees as they aren't willing to renew their contracts said Marotta.
Alex- Ed has few players from the English market that are ready to come to barca and I've instructed him to liaise with you in making final decisions on who to go for amongst them, Alex said while looking at Marotta.
Ed- yes Marotta, players like Aubameyang, Rashford, Son, Douglas Luiz, Leroy sane are all willing to make an effort to arrive at Barca but I've put ten them on a hold until we've finished strategizing.
Alex- in the South American market prospects like Enzo Fernandez, Luiz Diaz, Julian Alvarez, Mac alister have all been under our scouting reviews and I'll like for the sporting sector to see if we can sign all of them or some of them as they're exciting bunch from the scouting reports I've seen,
For the partnerships and relations Soriano and reverter are incharge of finding a New Jersey and sleeve sponsors for us , as the current deals with Rakuten is ending by June 30, pls guys sign a very exciting deal as we need it to reflect as this years profits.
Further more guys Marotta has together with members of the sporting sector decided to pursuit the signings of this fellow players even before the new coach becomes available, Grimaldo(Leftback), Gvardiol(Centerback), Christensen(Centerback), Locatelli(Defensive mid), Pedro Goncalves(Left winger), Alvarez(Striker) and Santiago Gimenez(Striker).
He believes this players would further strengthen the team and give us a chance in winning the league and going for the champions league and Copa. Also guys, this doesn't mean we won't scout the market for opportunities to better our squads and enhance the team more, as we've already analyzed thanks to Edwards that all this players would cost less than 100million as Christensen might come on a free as his current employers are almost willing to let him come scot free, with no transfer fee, same as Gimenez who must likely come for a premium under €6M, and that would give us breathing space to sign and both register them with the league before resumption of the league.
Marotta chipped in by reminding the board on the need to settle the coaching vacancy earlier than the transfers as the new coach might have his inputs,".
"We have to settle the coaching duty for the next season upwards as it'll further give the current players confidence on our capabilities to fulfill the promise made to them by mr President here, we currently have shortlisted 3 names and they are Hansi Flick, who we all know his record at Bayern and his short stint at the German National Team where he led the team to a World Cup completion, the other option is also a reputable name in the coaching market, Julian Nagelsmann, I don't have much to say, as it's almost certain all of us here know what he's capable of doing with even the lowest of quality squads at Hoffenheim, Leipzig and currently Bayern, we all know what he can achieve if given the squad we're planning on incorporating, so I'll head to the next person in the list, who was personally added by Mr President the other day, his name is Roberto De Zerbi, a young italian who has proven himself at Sassoulo, Shaktar and now he's in the Premier League doing the wonders we all k ow him to be doing.
So guys let settle this matter here and today once and for all, because the players through their agents keep disturbing me on who's going to be the coach for next season and they won't sit to negotiate until they know who'll lead the team next season.
