Font: "We will only do operations at zero cost or with irrelevant investments"

Víctor Font spoke with the Agency EFE on several subjects of interest for the barcelonismo. The candidate to the next elections of the FC Barcelona​ was very clear when speaking of his sportive and economic project in case that it chair to the Barça. The one of Granollers already has it all thought and ensured that his main aim the first months will be to reduce costs and struggle against the dangerous economic crisis that asola the club.

"The first 100 days of government will be keys, because we play us the future of the club. It is necessary refinanciar the debt and reduce the costs. If we did not do at all this season would lose 200 million euros that would add to the 97 that lost in the previous. There is a part in the reduction of the costs, the possible plusvalía by the sale of players, that depends of the sportive area. With our plan of crash estimate that we will be between the 100 and 150 million losses", affirmed.

But in spite of the economic problems, the Catalan wanted to leave clear that the sportive interests will go by in front of the economic at all times. "We will not put never the economic criterion by in front of the sportive and with the sportive decisions it is necessary to ensure that we can face up to the financial needs that has the club. The sportive direction will say us which players are not prioritarios for the season that comes and has to have a work to try put them in the market", said, referring to the sales that there will be.

Font Also recognised that only there will be signings in case that they are viable economically speaking. In other words it seems that only they will arrive footballers to cost zero or cheap, and that do not earn a very high wage. "The idea in the next six months is to do operations in which the initial investment was not notable or was zero, and that the economic requests of the player can adapt to the needs of mass salarial that have", aimed.

Although it did not want to give names, seems that the candidate could refer to players like Memphis Depay or Eric García, that would be free and affordable to level salarial. It was as it was, it left clear that his team already works in the incorporations, including those that can arrive of the Barça B. "The sportive direction and the technical office are working from does months tracking the market and valuing the players with more potential in our basic football", declared.

The impact that would have renew to Messi

On the other hand, it insisted in the importance to renew to Leo Messi by what contributes deportivamente, but also by the plus that will contribute to the club to economic level. "Retain to Messi is importantísimo and a priority in three facets: the sportive, the economic and the institutional. The association Barça-Messi is strategic and has to perdurar along the years, for life", stood out, before speaking of the negative impact that would have the course of the '10'.

"We foresee a level of income by sponsorship very similar to the that have had recently. If had to Messi this quantity would be superable and if we did not have it the possible loss of appeal for the main sponsors would have to relieve it with an enlargement of categories. After all, the sponsorships generate 200 annual millions. They are notable, but no the main part of the income", finalised.
