An attack that costs him dearly: wave of clapbacks at Jota Jordi for trying to act too smart

The panelist from 'El Chiringuito de Jugones' spoke about the two latest signings of Real Madrid and Barça

The latest signing confirmed by Real Madrid is Álvaro Carreras. While it's true that the Merengue bosses wanted to add the left-back before the Club World Cup, the constant setbacks in negotiations with Benfica made it impossible. Despite those adverse circumstances, the Valdebebas offices insisted until the end.

Now that the new "18" at Real Madrid is starting to settle in with the first team, three days after his official presentation at the Valdebebas Sports City, an opinion has emerged. Jota Jordi has referenced the current situation of the Spanish defender in the first team through his social media.

"Madrid still hasn't registered Carreras? Don't they have any spots and nobody wants to leave because they earn too much?" asked the Barça panelist from "El Chiringuito de Jugones." Those rhetorical questions, full of irony, aren't the only message this commentator has left: he also remembers what's happening with FC Barcelona and its latest addition.

It's no coincidence that the entity presided over by Joan Laporta is facing serious problems registering Joan García. The financial problems of the entity based in Barcelona have, until now, prevented the brand-new signing from having a place in the first team. The injury to Marc-André ter Stegen, who will be out for about four months (4 months), allows that registration to be completed without further issues.

Almost sentenced on the spot

Jota Jordi seems to consider all the attention that Joan Laporta's "acrobatics" are receiving to provide Hansi Flick with a competitive squad to be unfair. The commentator points out that "it's funny how they only talk to you about the 'Ter Stegen case' but they don't talk to you about the 'Rodrygo case,' 'Vinícius case,' 'Reinier case,' 'Álvaro case'", problems at Real Madrid.

Nothing could be further from the truth, given the constant rumors surrounding the future of Rodrygo Goes, sought after by several top-level European clubs, and Vinícius Jr. The "7" verdeamarelo is starting to generate doubts both within the coaching staff and in the Valdebebas offices, putting his hypothetical contract renewal through summer 2030 (2030) at risk.

In response to that argument, which Jota Jordi closes with an accusation of "sociological Madridism", many social media users have recalled that the situation of both rivals is completely different. It's no coincidence that Real Madrid has healthy finances and can register the footballers it signs, so that wouldn't be newsworthy.

It is newsworthy with an FC Barcelona whose institutional and financial crisis has already lasted five years (5 years). Joan Laporta's arrival as president of the Catalan squad has achieved some progress, including the stadium renovation, but the blaugrana coffers are still suffering from a lack of funds... which is made clear by events like those involving Joan García and ter Stegen.
