Barcelona and Manchester United stirred up the morning of this Wednesday, 5, and announced the hiring of reinforcements for the 2023/24 season
Manchester United and barcelona started on Wednesday, the 5th, stirring up the ball market. The two teams used their social networks to announce important reinforcements for the 2023/24 season. The two teams are still a little more timid at the beginning of the transfer window, but they were accurate in the market and brought relevant names for the sequence of the year to come.
The first club to announce a reinforcement this Wednesday, 5, was Barcelona. The team made official the arrival of Inigo Martinez. The player signed a two-year contract with Barça and will have a release clause of 400 million euros. He is the second signing of the Catalan team in this transfer window. Previously, the culé team had already closed the arrival of Gundogan, who was free in the ball market.
The 32-year-old defender made his career at Athletic Bilbao and also played for Real Sociedad. He is frequently called up by the Spanish national team and will have the chance to gain even greater prominence with Barcelona. The expectation is that he arrives at the club to fight for a position among the holders.
While Barcelona announced a reinforcement, Manchester United also took the opportunity to move in England and officialize the arrival of Mason Mount. The Red Devils shelled out around £60m to have one of the top names in English football. The midfielder signed with the Old Trafford team until mid-2028 and wore the number 7 shirt, which had been without an owner since Cristiano Ronaldo left.

In an interview for the Manchester United website, Mount was excited about the opportunity to play for the club: “I am very excited to be working with Erik ten Hag. Leaving the club where you grew up is never easy, but Man Utd will be an exciting new challenge for the next phase of my career. Can’t wait to be part of this group’s effort to win big trophies”.
