Honors for Laporta! Barça increases its salary limit by 800 'kilos'

Already they have desvelado the limits salariales of the teams of the First and Second Division of Spain, after the market of signings estival. The FC Barcelona has been the big novelty, place has increased in 800 million euros his ceiling salarial after an extraordinary work by part of Joan Laporta, Rafa Yuste, Mateu Alemany, Jordi Cruyff and the Barcelona directive, those who have 'revolutionised' to the entity culé so that it saw the light after his deep economic crisis.

Although it is true that the problems of the Barça to economic level have not disappeared, the increase of the limit salarial is a big news. LaLiga Has desvelado that it is of 656.429 million euros, a difference of 800 'kilos' regarding the that had after the window of signings of winter, that was negative (-€144m). To day of today, the Barcelona are the team with the ceiling salarial higher, by behind the Real Madrid (€683.463m).

It is worth it to remember that the Barça, like this ingresara more money this summer, only could equalise the limit salarial that had in the season in which it began the pandemia of the coronavirus (2019-2020), which was, precisely, of €656.429m. This is due to the measures of flexibilización that LaLiga gave to the clubs to compute the losses ocasionadas by Covid-19, that will be from this season in the following order: 15% in the 22-23, 20% in the 23-24 and 24-25, 22.5% for the 25-26 and 26-27. This 'favour' of the patronal is to avoid that the teams have so many losses in an alone period, with the 'condition' that they could not surpass said limit. In case to do it, had to compute a greater percentage in this period.

In any case, the Barça has reached a point of maximum tranquility. The club no longer exceeds his limit salarial, by what frees of the conditionings to go out to the market. Before, it had to stick to the rules '1 to 3' and '1 to 4'. The first established that by each three euros freed, could use one for the registration of a new footballer, whereas with the second alone could employ 25% of a sale or discount for the register. Now, the blaugrana have been able to inscribe by the '1x1'. A quebradero of head less.

More income and fewer costs

The question of the million is how the Barça has achieved revertir a situation limit in less than four months. The activation of the 'crowbars' economic and the exit of a few players allowed that the Barcelona generated plusvalías that computed in the limit in way of profit. It is important to highlight that the limit salarial calculates with an equation 'simple' between the planned income that has the team, deduced his payments of structure and the cost of the planned debt for said season. The result, is the 'LPCD'. This, updates after the market of signings of summer and after the incorporations of the month of January, put always there is a modification by exits or incorporations.

In this sense, to the income by rights by television, agreements of sponsorship, partners and credited, income by competitions (League, Glass, Europe), income of exploitation, advertising and sales of players (with plusvalías) subtract him the costs, that are: wages of players and trainers, amortizaciones of the players, commissions to representatives, prime, compensations, as well as the quarry and subsidiaries. The Barça increased his income (with the sale of heritage of the club and sale of players) and reduced his costs (saving of wages of players).

The 'crowbars' of the Barça

In the last General Assembly of Partners Compromisarios of the Barça, approved the activation of a series of 'crowbars' so that the Barcelona club went able of ingresar big economic quantities and, in addition to saving the exercise 2021-22 of losses and fulfil the conditions of LaLiga to leave to exceed the ceiling salarial, allowed the incorporation of seven signings in the market estival, with an outlay of 153 million euros, between Raphinha (€58m), Robert Lewandowski (€45m) and Jules Koundé (€50m). The rest (Andreas Christensen, Franck Kessié, Héctor Bellerín and Marcos Alonso) arrived like free agents.

The case is that, like necessary measure, the Barcelona entity sold heritage of the club: 25% of the television rights to 25 years to Sixth Street, by €519m (without explaining plusvalías, with which arrive to €667m), as well as 49,5% of Barça Studios, that generated income of other 200 'kilos'. 24,5% to Orphus Half and the remaining percentage to Socios.com. The activation 'caused' that the club increased his income.

Matrícula Of honour to Laporta and Alemany

Although the economic department and those who commission to look for to the 'partners' more competent to achieve the sales, during all this process have existed two big protagonists in the Barça: the president Joan Laporta and Mateu Alemany, director of the area of football, those who have been the first that have added to the battle for rdcuperar to a club that was in ruins and that had lost, in all the sectors, the illusion. The history now is very distinct.

The Barcelona leaders have commissioned to make one of the best staff of Europe, that without place to doubts will be able to compete by the titles from this year. No only this, have achieved signings much more economic and have convinced to the players that have arrived of the project, being able to renounce to big economic offers that had presented them of other clubs. A historical work so that the Barça begin his way, again, to the highest.
