Despite the sales and transfers that Barça has completed, the accounts of the Catalans still do not balance and Joan Laporta will have to take drastic measures

Calendar of FC Barcelona

Javier Thebes warned that if the FC Barcelona does not sell, will be impossible that Leo Messi begin the season with the Barcelona group and, although it is true that the culés move index cards to promote his 'operation gone out', still remains a lot of work for doing and accounts for squaring. The Barcelona club is between the sword and the wall, with the obligation to take drastic measures and that, without place to doubts, will create a lot of controversy: everything with such and can achieve inscribe to 'The Flea' in his staff.

It does some days, the emisora Catalan 'RAC-1' informed that the Barça had to reduce his mass salarial in 50% to fulfil with the 'Fair Play' financial, what means that they had to happen of 347 million euros, the limit of the culés in the season 2020-2021, until the 160 'kilos', or even less. It is a task that, a priori, is very complicated by the high wages of the majority of players or the obstacles that has found the club to give him gone out to some footballers (Umtiti, Pjanic...).

This leaves to the Barcelona managerial board, chaired by Joan Laporta, to the doors of a situation more than complicated in which anybody will be able to save. In mind, are a sinfín of drastic decisions, more exits of the Camp Nou and the complicated discounts salariales of the players of the first team. The result that expect the culés is more than clear, but there are a lot of obstacles on the way, reason by which will be weeks in which the Barcelona offices will be more 'on fire' that never.

The way more 'simple' are the sales and cessions of players. It is more than evident that Samuel Umtiti and Miralem Pjanic will be the following, but fault the destination. Both already have refused the letter of freedom (the same with which the Braça terminated of unilateral way the agreement of Matheus Fernandes), but would be had to go out through a cession, conscious that any club is in conditions to pay a traspaso complete. In the list follow Dembélé, Lenglet, Sergi Roberto, Griezman, Braithwaite... And other so many more.

With the French the Barça has a big problem: 'Dembouz' is lesionado, until November, and will be difficult to find him a new club in this situation. Before it had informed that the culés wanted to extend his agreement, but is a situation that right now seems very difficult by his physical problems. Lenglet, by his part, does not have intention to move of the City Condal and Antoine Griezmann, finally, only would go out if his new club keeps his aspirations salariales.

What himself is true is that, with this new reality, anybody goes to save and if they have to abandon the Camp Nou, will do it this summer. To this, it is necessary to add him the task of the discounts salariales. It does some months began the 'work' with a meeting between the directors and Gerard Hammered, the one who understood the situation -critical- of the club and accessed to reduce his wage. Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets and Sergi Roberto are the following that will go in in negotiations with the club. In fact, the Barça explains mainly with them. 'Sportive world' informed does some days that from the Barcelona offices assume that, in a moment so complicated, those that more have perceived money "when there were fat cows" are those who have to put of his part "in period of lean cows".

Negotiations in all the sectors of the club

In this sense, if the Barça do not achieve 'undo' of the players that are in the ramp of exit, these will have -also- that reduce the wage. It is not simple, in no case, because it is -latent- the experience of the discount after it began the pandemia, with Josep María Bartomeu to the control, in addition to the negotiations with the Managing Commission to finals of the past year.

To his time, expects that the players are not the only 'affected' in this crisis. It has desvelado that the Barça also will reduce the wages of his workers in the weeks to come and that the new CEO of the club, Ferran Reverter, is in process to analyse all the agreements of the professionals that surpass the 30.000 annual euros by what, for the moment, expects that the 'revolution' culé was complete and affect of direct way to all the sectors of the club... Everything with Leo Messi can be still in the Camp Nou.
