Barcelona, Spain — Omo, this one na serious wahala wey don dey happen for FC Barcelona lately. Dem dey talk say dem go fit remove their goalkeeper as captain, and e be like say dis matter don reach another level.
Since last summer wey Sergi Roberto waka comot, the German goalkeeper don dey hold the captaincy as second-in-command. But wahala don start when e no gree live the club, and dem talk say e no wan go anywhere. Na from there, the club waka enter gbege.
Di tussle for this drama no be small. As dem dey peep the likelihood of dis goalkeeper still being top oga for di team, dat one fit end up as another strategy wey dey play out inside dem locker room. (Trust me, the dressing room don dey hot pass jollof at dis point.)
Reports dey show say dis whole matter na internal affair wey FC Barcelona fit handle without any outside interference. E mean say di players’ union no fit say anything on top dis matter. Spain’s main player union, AFE, don dey check am but dem no fit intervene. Na dem club go decide if dem go still keep di player as captain or just remove am. Simple.
Meanwhile, as di all this drama dey go on, FC Barcelona dey think about dem contracts too, especially with Spotify. Dem dey prepare to negotiate new terms for their partnership after 2026. E look like say dem fit push for bigger money since di club dey sell im jersey like hot cakes. (Say wetin? Dem jersey don dey fly off shelves like say na Christmas!)
Last year, Spotify contract dey run for about €65 million plus bonuses. But e fit reach €80 million if dem maintain am till dem finish negotiation. Barcelona management don gather their research, and dem don find out say their jersey dey worth at least €120 million, based on all di media hype alone. E mean say dem sabi how to flex their muscles when e come to negotiations.
And just as if dem no wan miss out for another drama, di Barca team don bring news say dem almost cancel di Asia tour. One promoter bo bo; dem no pay di money on time, e be like say dem wan spoil di whole show. But thanks to some connections, dem sharp sharp gather things for dem travel. (Talk of last-minute save, abeg!)
Now, notin fit stop dem! Di team don plan to go Japan, and dem go land for di ground smiling, even as dem dey manage di wahala wey dey unfold on top goalkeeper captain matter. Wetin go happen next? We go dey watch am closely, make dem no turn dis gists to kola nut wey no sweet again!
