The Blaugrana boss is showing no signs of letting up as he continues to take a jab at Madrid's transfer policy.
It may sound all too obvious, but Barcelona president, Joan Laporta has pointed out how his side’s stunning ‘triplete’ triumph last season has pressured fierce rivals, Real Madrid into an uncontrollable spending spree in the transfer market.
Los Blancos’ re-instated chief, Florentino Perez has drawn incessant criticism from Laporta and large parts of the football community for dishing out close to €68 million to sign Kaka and another €94 million to tempt Manchester United to part with Cristiano Ronaldo.
“Our treble success has forced Real Madrid to spend compulsively and that has distorted the market,” he said during a quick interview with reporters while he attended yesterday’s Catalunya Moto GP.
“[Florentino] Perez makes signings based on preferential treatment and he is only showing off his arrogance,” he added.
Seemingly under some pressure to announce a few major signings of his own, Laporta was quick to assure that there will be news of transfer activity in the Blaugrana camp shortly.
“We will make important adjustments in order to give the team a fresh boost,” he declared.
“We won’t let anyone dictate the pace of our work but there will be news soon.”
Aside from focusing on recruiting new players, the Barca board are also busy negotiating contract extensions for several key players including Samuel Eto’o and Victor Valdes.
