Salinas unlikely to join Barça due to financial gap

Barça’s bid for 19‑year‑old Jorge Salinas is stalled as Racing Santander’s financial demands far exceed the Catalan club’s offer, making a move unlikely. Despite Salinas’s expressed desire to wear blaugrana, the lack of a matching transfer fee means the defender will probably stay in Spain and the deal will not materialise.

The only point in Barça’s favour is the player’s ambition to join the club, but that alone cannot force a transfer or alter the negotiations. esporist.org
