For extraordinary situations, extreme measures. Barça will lose a lot of economic income after Messi's departure and managers have to look for new sources of income

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The goodbye of Leo Messi to the FC Barcelona affects to the club in all the senses. Although Joan Laporta and company have not achieved to seal his permanence in the Camp Nou because they could not free the mass salarial (that with the Argentinian supposed 110% of the planned income) and like this do him a gap in the staff, the Barça will have big economic losses to short and long term that has to know like covering now that it does not have to his main appeal, inside and out of the field.

It fits to remember that Messi has been one of the big sources of economic entry of the Barça in the last years, with sale of T-shirts, merchandising or being a magnet for the sponsors of the club. In fact, as it has desvelado from does months, even for turn them of pre-season is key for the agreements: the presence of Leo Messi supposes 50% of the income by the friendly.

Of there that now the Barcelona can that they are forced to bet and litigate again by the Superliga European, competition that support beside the Real Madrid and Juventus, remembering that when it founded the competition announced that the Clubs would receive "in group, a payment of an alone time of 3.500 million euros devoted only to tackle plans of investment in infrastructures and compensate the impact of the pandemia of the COVID-19", read in the communiqué.

That is to say, only for participating the Barça would be adding almost 300 'kilos' that, of another way, could not obtain by as it is the crisis in the middle of the pandemia. This is only the beginning, in economic key, because lto Superliga would be the 'solution' to go out of the crisis or at least control it in the short term. It is not simple, in any case, by the nine clubs that have left 'alone' to the Barça, Madrid and Juve, but anything could happen.

Laporta, defender of the Superliga

In a sinfín of opportunities, Joan Laporta has showed very in accordance with the tournament founded and contrived by Florentino Pérez, his homologous in the Real Madrid. In fact, in the General Assembly of Partners Compromisarios, the maximum Barcelona mandator left it clear: "All the clubs are with economic problems and represented a minimum income of 700 millions by season more variable. It was to think it. We did not want to commit the historical error when we refuse the Glass of Europe because we were well in the Glass of Fairs".

In the same sense, expressed that the threats of the UEFA to the teams did not have felt and that like club did not have why "ask pardon for thinking and for wanting to be masters of our destination in the world of the football". Something that gives to think that, if it is the opportunity, Joan Laporta will be the first in promoting the Superliga beside Florentino and Agnelli.
