First it was Julian Nagelsmann, now it is Gary Neville. Apparently, Barcelona's transfer window moves which have seen them sign players such as Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski, Andreas Christensen, and Franck Kessié have raised a few eyebrows in the world of football, and some of those critics have not hesitated in their words against the Blaugrana side.
Earlier today, former defender Gary Neville aimed a massive dig at Barcelona due to their intention to keep the Super League alive. According to Neville, the club's intention with this would be to keep adding money to their bank accounts so they can save themselves from bankruptcy, which makes their transfer activity even more dubious.
Neville believes Barcelona are about to sell everything in their stock to save their pride now, something that could hit the club hard on the long run.
Why are @FCBarcelona still pursuing the Super League? This is why! A desperate club £1.2bn in debt selling future revenue streams to spend on players today in the "Hope" it pays off! Rolling the dice stuff this with a giant of a club. https://t.co/uGOMdn00xM

Barcelona's moves during this offseason have raised quite a few questions regarding Financial Fair Play rules and why they do not apply to the Catalan club, who is yet to make a big transfer away from the club to justify these investments. Meanwhile, the club is plotting to hire Jules Koundé as part of their squad overhaul, but if this move ends up taking place, the rules about Financial Fair Play will once again be questioned by those who cannot believe how a club with so much debts can splash the cash to hire new players.
