The situation in Barcelona might take a surprising turn as the club currently negotiates with an English team that is on their way to glory once again.
After a series of mishaps at Barcelona including the resignation of six board members who stepped down from their positions after admitting that were forced to deny that the club had hired bots and hackers to defame former players and the current squad in February, there is finally a breeze of fresh air at the club.

The famous St James Park in England may now have a new owner coming their way after a bid worth 300 million pounds was accepted by Magpies board from Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, according to Fox Sports.
Newcastle is on the verge for a major revamp after Prince Mohammed Bin Salman has shown interest in taking over the team from Mike Ashley, the Magpies are soon to be resurrected if the deal goes through.
Just like Manchester City, Newcastle United would have a glorious budget if the deal falls through and Don Balon claims that the Magpies have already considered two Barcelona superstars.
Newcastle United would have to start from scratch all over again, including a new board, players, staff, and a new top manager. Their first transfer would possibly be Philippe Coutinho who has a great understanding of the Premier League and Antoine Griezmann who can adapt to any system, the French has been played out of position this season under both the Barca manager but has still managed to put in a decent shift each time.
The Magpies want Antoine Griezmann to be their first-ever Galactico in their new decade and the English team is prepared to offer the former Atletico man a lucrative contract worth 30 million euros per season, this would put the French forward on terms with Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar as the best-paid players in world football.
Since Barcelona are desperate to sign Lautaro Martinez and Neymar Junior, the board is willing to let Philippe Coutinho go for half the amount they paid to Liverpool in 2018 to sign the midfielder in the winter transfer window. Half of 150 million euros would not be an issue for the Magpies.
For Antoine Griezmann, Barcelona is not willing to let their forward leave for anything less than the 120 million euros they paid to Atletico Madrid in the summer of 2019 to sign the forward.\
If Newcastle gives in to Barcelona’s demands, there might be an increase in the possibility of signing both Neymar Junior and Lautaro Martinez in the coming summer.
