Sergio Aguero surprised by how Barcelona is saving

By db-admin

DBasia.news – Barcelona’s new striker, Sergio Aguero, did not deny that he was surprised by the difference in life at Manchester City and the Blaugrana. As currently Barca are making savings.

Sergio Aguero has joined Barcelona after not renewing his contract at Manchester City. At the beginning of his arrival, the former Atlético Madrid was rumored to be the persuasion of Lionel Messi to stay.

Now, Lionel Messi has left for Paris Saint-Germain. Meanwhile, Aguero remains in Barcelona who are making savings.

In addition to a lower salary than he received at Manchester City, a number of Barcelona facilities are also being removed to make savings. Aguero was surprised that some of the lights at the training ground were turned off to save money.

“When at Manchester City, we usually arrive at least an hour and a half before training. Meanwhile, here, we arrive about 30 minutes earlier,” said Aguero on Twitch.

“I thought I’d be there an hour earlier to see if I could go to the gym or whatever. But I wasn’t. Even the lights were off. It’s very different.”

What Barcelona is currently doing is to avoid bankruptcy. The president, Joan Laporta, tried to heal Barca’s finances from the myriad of problems left by Josep Maria Bartomeu. Reportedly, Barcelona’s debt reached 1.35 billion euros.

This condition makes it difficult for Barcelona to move in the transfer market. In fact, to register new players, Barcelona need to persuade a number of senior players to cut their salaries.
