Joan Laporta's first great achievement at FC Barcelona

In front of a critical economic situation, the decisions have to be drastic. The market of signings of the FC Barcelona was very garbled, complicated, argued and grey. The club had to undo of his maximum star, Lionel Messi, because there was not form to do him a gap in a staff that was to the limit. To his time, remained the feeling that the staff, instead of strengthening , remained much more weakened and that the high do not fulfil the expectations.

It is a necessary evil, in any case, that allows to the Barça think in a more prosperous future. As well as it has done it the Real Madrid in the last years, being cold when taking the decisions and leaving escape to several stars, the Barcelona entity has seen forced to separate the sentimentalism and do true sportive sacrifices so that the cub go out to float in the short term. Without the measures that have adopted , that futbolísitcamente are too debatable, would be impossible to keep to the club.

The mass salarial has been the elder of the problems that has inherited Joan Laporta of the management of Josep María Bartomeu, by the heights and injustificables wages that had (and have) a lot of players in the changing room. Before the exit -compulsory- of Messi, the mass salarial represented 110% of the planned income of the club. Without the index card of the Argentinian, the percentage became of the 95, also worrisome.

The limit that recommend in LaLiga is of 65%, that would be the percentage that would have the Barça right now, according to the figures that have desvelado from BEING Catalonia. Nevertheless, in 'RAC-1' aim that it continues being very high, of 85% after the market of signings estival. The real percentage will know in the next General Assembly of the club, in which the Barcelona president, Joan Laporta, will have to give the face to the partners and explain all the measures adopted.

With the traspasos of this summer, that have generated 86 million profits for the Barça, the situation is much handier, although no ideal. To this, it is necessary to add him that until the moment three 'heavy weights' have agreed a reduction salarial, being the case of the captains Gerard Hammered, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba. For the moment, also it is negotiating with Sergi Roberto, with a renewal to the drop, Samuel Umtiti or Philippe Coutinho.

These measures have allowed to the Catalan entity save, as it has desvelado in the last days, until 140 million euros in mass salarial, slopes of what happen with Álex Hill and with the percentage that the Barça will leave to pay of the index card of Miralem Pjanic, the one who has left to the Besiktas in quality of loan by a season (the Turkish will pay 2,7 'kilos' of his index card).

A handier future

Now, although the feelings in the offices of the Camp Nou are positive, remains a lot of work for doing for 'recover' the economic health of the club, that will not be something simple. Mateu Alemany, leading in the management of Joan Laporta, already is working in new discounts salariales, but in the rest of players will be more diferimientos of payments by aims that definite cut of his wages, something that 'would retard' the problems and will give to the club margin of action.

It is a good institutional dynamics for the Barça, that expect do not have so much effect in the sportive subject, because if there is something that is true is that the staff has lost to his big referent and the changing room has weakened . It remains the feeling, in any case, that the things could do better... Like recessing the wages before fichar (like this was by cost zero) or concretise the exits in the beginning of the summer, with more profits... But it is a step forward that allows to the Barcelona breathe economically and look to the future with more optimism.
