Hold on because with the money that you are going to know next, Barcelona could have calmly approached a transfer of guarantees or even have retained Lionel Messi. While his new coach negotiates his departure from Qatar, this is what it has cost the Culé team to fire coaches since 2017.

We started on that date as a result of what was the end of the last great cycle that Barcelona has experienced. Luis Enrique decided not to renew his contract with the club and Ernesto Valverde assumed the reins of a team that gave guarantees in Spain but not in Europe. The Extremaduran left in January 2020 after a defeat in the Spanish Super Cup and Bartomeu paid him 11 million euros as compensation.

We had to return to the Barça DNA and the chosen one was Quique Setién who was not only remembered for that fateful 2-8 in Lisbon, but also for being the club's first coach to win nothing in more than a decade. The Camp Nou burned in the middle of what was Messi's famous burofax and the Santander man continues to claim the 4 million euros that are owed after his dismissal.

Ronald Koeman, meanwhile, came to put out a fire and ended up being consumed by it. People will not forget that he was the only one who led a team when nobody wanted to take over in Barcelona, but neither will they of the 12 million euros that Laporta will have to pay him soon.
