Barcelona used financial loopholes to sign Alonso and Bellerin

Barcelona bosses used various financial loopholes to sign Hector Bellerin and Marcos Alonso, reports Mundo Deportivo.

According to the source, the contracts with Alonso and Bellerin are signed for the season, but they include a buyout option for 50 million euros. This seems like an absurd option, given that footballers can directly negotiate with other clubs six months before the contract expires.

However, both deals are preliminary: they are a financial trick to allow Barcelona to sign up both players for the season. In the near future, "Barcelona" will present the players and will specifically inform about the real term of contracts for football players.
