BARCELONA HAVE 332 MILLION EUROS WORTH OF TALENT ON THE MARKRT ASIDE MESSI
~1.5 mins read
According to marca:
Not everything happening at Barcelona at the moment revolves around Lionel Messi, although it may seem to be the case.
The captain's decision to leave has overshadowed, and slowed down, everything else ongoing at the Camp Nou but the club are working on rebuilding for Ronald Koeman's 2020/21 campaign.
As many as 14 players are on the market this summer, with ten of those being from the first team and the other four returning loans with no guaranteed place in the team.
They combine for 2240 games and so many of them were once untouchable players themselves.
Based on Transfermarkt's valuations, which is close to reality though not always entirely accurate due to variables, Barcelona have 332 million euros worth of talent on the market.
Sergi Roberto and Jordi Alba are the most valuable of those at 40 million euros each, followed by Samuel Umtiti (32), Sergio Busquets and Luis Suarez (28 each) and Ivan Rakitic (20).
Suarez, Arturo Vidal and Rakitic have contracts expiring in 2021 though, which means that if they are to be sold it will likely be for a slightly lower fee than what they would otherwise command.
Four of the 14 players up for sale were homegrown and didn't cost the club a cent - Carles Alena, Rafinha, Sergi Roberto and Busquets - Philippe Coutinho cost an extraordinary 120 million euros up front.
After the Brazilian come Umtiti (20 million euros), Junior Firpo (23), Vidal (19), Rakitic and Martin Braithwaite (18 each) and Jordi Alba (14), totalling 324 million euros.
The Catalans have a problem though in that not all of these players want to leave the club.
Sergi Roberto and Busquets' agents have already said that they won't leave, Jordi Alba is under contract until 2024 and Junior Firpo has just gotten in the door.
Suarez, Vidal and Rakitic's soon-expiring contracts could see them leave with relative ease, while Coutinho's situation is completely up in the air, although Messi leaving would increase his chances of staying.
Barcelona, in short, find themselves in a mess. More than half of their playing squad is up for sale, but if Messi does leave they're in a completely different situation.

Kai Havertz Could Become 4th-highest Earning Premier League Player
~0.8 mins read
According to Georgy Tsepkovskiy on Tribuna:

Chelsea are reportedly looking to offer the German a £310,000-per-week deal.

Kai Havertz's move to Chelsea is believed to be all but official with the 21-year-old reportedly set to have his medical this week.

According to the Sun, the Blues are offering the German a massive £310,000-a-week contract which would make him the fourth-highest paid player in the Premier League.

Bayer Leverkusen have so far refused to lower their asking price of £90 million for the midfielder, meaning that the Blues will have to break the bank in order to bring Havertz to London ahead of the 2020/21 campaign.

Top 5 Premier League earners if Havertz joins Chelsea:

1. David De Gea - £375,000 per week
2. Mesut Ozil - £350,000 per week
3. Kevin De Bruyne - £320,000 per week
4. Kai Havertz - £310,000 per week
5. Raheem Sterling - £300,000 per week
