Barça's strategy to register all its signings on time

The FC Barcelona has closed already six signings in the market of summer, in addition to the renewal of Ousmane Dembélé, with which will have to free at least five contingents in the staff to be able to inscribe to all his reinforcements before 31 August, day of the closing of the window of traspasos. In this regard, the economist Iván Head considers that the directive will not have problems to incorporate to these players to time in the final staff of LaLiga, thanks to the activation of the 'crowbars' financial.

And it is that, by means of the money ingresado by the sale of 25% of the television rights of LaLiga by the next 25 years, the Barça has been able to go back to the rule of the 1x1 (a euro invested in signings by each euro freed). For Head, ands likely that the directive already there is ingresado the majority of the 519 million euros that the group investor Sixth Street accepted to pay by the television rights, a money that no only has served to pay the arrival of Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski and Jules Koundé.

In an interview with EFE, the economist explained that this quantity represents a plusvalía countable of 667M for the Barça. 100 'kilos of east mount 100 would have allocated to return a part of the loan of Goldman Sachs. With this, the directive has been able to revertir the negative net heritage of 451 million euros registered to the finish of the past season and, besides, no descarta still the sale of 49% of Barça Studios, the audiovisual producer of the club.

This, added on sale of several players in ramp of exit (Memphis Depay, Óscar Mingueza, Riqui Puig, Samuel Umitit, Net, Martin Braithwaite and, even, Frenkie of Jong) will do that the club have free road to inscribe to his signings, including to Pablo Tower, the one who arrived in return of 5 million euros with agreement until 2026 and a clause of rescission of 100 'kilos'.

The challenge of the Barça for the 2022-23

The activation of the 'crowbars' and the enormous investment made do that the challenge for the ones of Xavi Hernández was capital in the 2022-23. The team showed the capacity to go back to be competitive between February and April of this year and, with the reinforcements, the expectations are maximum, since the club explains now with one of the most complete staff of Europe. This does that the obligation to win titles was total, more when it comes of three bad seasons.

However, Iván Head considers that the true challenge of the club from August "is to be sustainable, with income to final of season always upper to the mass salarial, because like this it will be able to go covering the debt (at present of 1.350 millions, expandable to 1.500 by the Espai Barça and recover the income that will not have by television rights (little more than 40M by season by the sale with Sixth Street)".

"So that it go out well it is not so important to win titles like competing them to the end, generating mark. You have to achieve go back to be there where were. Like this you will generate always a lot of income that will allow you revertir those that will leave of ingresar annually owing to the sale of active", puntualizó Head. Like this, the Barça has the mission to recover his status of big team in the 2022-23. The directive has given the initial step. Now, it touches to justify the investment on the field.
