"It looks if it serves the economic control that has gone down of more than 500 millions to 400. Lto situation can not fix overnight. If it sold to a player franchise would solve his problems. But it prefers another way. If I increase sponsorship no great. It is very limited", said Javier Thebes, president of LaLiga, to the hour to explain the bajón of the limit salarial of the FC Barcelona after the market of signings estival.
The blaugrana, although 'undid' of all his 'holy cows' and reduced considerably his costs, have suffered an important reduction in the mount maximum that they would have to invest in the payment of his staff. They happened of €648m to €270m, a difference of €378m when the mass salarial is of 404 'kilos' (and could be of more in case that it was necessary to pay compensation by the dismissals of Mirotic or Higgins, in the section of basketball).
The true is that, to put it in context and although from the Barça transmit a lot of tranqulidad and have not showed surprises, the situation is complicated. To eyes of LaLiga, the blaugrana have maximum €270m to pay his staff (that it costs the €404m above-mentioned) and needs to generate this income not to have a deficit of €134m for the end of the present course.
Signings descartados in January... And hope for the summer?
All the income that do not generate will subtract in the limit salarial of the next year and will live a drama with the signings. To day of today, seems impossible that can arrive Vitor Roque in January because his signing brushed the 61 million euros between fixed and variables, in addition to his wage. The aim of the blaugrana, in these next months, will be to generate extraordinary income to start with to sanear his accounts.
It is thus that, according to an information of the newspaper 'SPORT', in the City Condal there is some tranquility regarding the leaf of route of the club to generate the necessary income and go back to the rule 1:1 that would allow them inscribe to his players of regular way. The president of the club, Joan Laporta, has marked the aim to increase the budget of the club with more sponsorships.
The easiest road is to achieve the sale of an important player, but is a little likely alternative because already the staff is very short. Xavi Hernández only has to 19 players in the changing room, in addition to the canteranos, and is little likely that -deportivamente- are in conditions to give off of any in the short term. It seems all very complicated... And it will be necessary to throw of imaginative formulas to square it all, once again and as always.
