FC Barcelona is working against the clock to activate one of the two economic 'levers' approved at the Members' Assembly before June 30 to avoid closing the 21-22 financial year with losses

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The time runs against of a FC Barcelona that, although has green light of the partners for the sale of 49,9% of BLM and until 25% of the television rights, has not closed any of the operations and, of not to achieve it before 30 June, will put in a new wrap. The Barcelona work to close one of the two in the next week and confront the month of July with more tranquility and solvency.

It is worth it to remember that, further of the signings (that they also influence), the main intention of the Barça with the sale of the active of the club has been, at all times, sanear the economy. It is necessary to have present that the club has a negative net heritage of 450 million euros and that in this exercise accumulated losses of 120 or 150 'kilos'. The Barcelona need, in this sense, reach the 600M for, between other things, go out to the market of passes with normality, remembering that the limit salarial at present is of -144M.

The big priority of the Barça before 30 June is to generate 200 millions to close the exercise 2021-2022 with profits. The club already accumulates two consecutive courses with losses and the third would be a new catastrophe. It is thus that from the offices of the Camp Nou have traced the aim to concretise the sale, during the next days, of 10% of the television rights by 25 years, that would generate the 200 'kilos' necessary for the arks of the Barcelona entity.

The Barça expects ingresar, in total, 500M by the sale of 25% of the television rights, but -given the urgencies- will concretise the cession of 10% to save the accounts. It foresees that in the month of July the club work directly in activating the 'crowbars' completely, taking in account besides 49,9% of BLM that remained in 'stand by' by the differences of the club with the buyers.

A priority to go out to the market

Both will be key so that the Barça can go out to the market to reinforce , put until they are not a reality, the traspasos of Robert Lewandowski, Bernardo Silva, Jules Koundé and all the 'dreams' of the club will remain without effect, since the Barcelona would follow exceeding his limit salarial (that right now it is of -144 millions) and would have to stick to the rule of the '1 to 3', that establishes that by each three euros freed, can invest one in the registration of a new futbolsita in LaLiga.
