The president of the Barça, Joan Laporta, has not wanted to lose the beginning of the pre-season and visited to the players in the Ciutat Esportiva... With a warning

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona has begun his pre-season 2021-2022 in the middle of a fight from the offices of the Camp Nou to resolve all the open fronts that has the club in this moment. The economic situation is graver of what expected and Joan Laporta is forced to take drastic measures to be able to take out 'to float' to the club for the beginning of the course. The limit salarial is the strongest headache for the maximum mandator and the main reason by which the renewal/signing of Leo Messi has remained in 'stand by'.

However, the club finds working to find the pertinent solutions and like this has wanted to it inform Joan Laporta to the players of the first team and of the filial that have gathered this Monday in the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper for the first training of the Barcelona pre-season. The president assisted very early to the installations of the club to greet and welcome him the footballers and technical body to which is his house.

The visit of Laporta was short, but concise. The president has wanted to transmit him his confidence to all the members of the team and ask them a winning mentality of face to the beginning of the course 2021-2022, in which the Barça will have to leave to a side all the errors of the past season and plant like a team that can litigate by all the titles. This, however, does not remove the fact that the maximum mandator culé has been clear and left in the changing room a 'bomb'.

Laporta Has explained that the situsción of the club is very grave. It has been some minutes with the 'heavy weights' of the team, Gerard Hammered and Sergi Roberto, the only captains that are for the moment under the orders of Ronald Koeman (the rest still is on holiday). It has detailed all the open fronts of the club, doing upsetting in the difficulty to renew the agreement of Leo Messi and the need of 'help' to the Barcelona entity in a moment so complicated.

Of there that the exit of Samuel Umtiti, Miralem Pjanic, Philippe Coutinho, among others so many, during the window of transfer was key for the culés. The big problem is that they do not have a lot of offers and the players (Umtiti and Pjanic) have not accepted a letter of freedom that offered the club. Anyway, the 'operation gone out' goes taking form and the next weeks will be keys, but will be missing still so that the situation of the blaugrana was optimum and can, finally, 'fichar' to Messi.

The 'case Messi', very influential

It fits to remember that, although the intention of 'The Flea' is to remain in the Barça, the club is not in conditions (still) to announce the extension of his agreement because they can not inscribe him in the staff. The culés have, first, that reduce his mass salarial to the half to fulfil with the 'fair play' financial of LaLiga. For this, have to sell and yield players, in addition to recessing the annual wage of varied of the footballers.

It is therefore, probably, that Laporta has wanted to gather so prompt with the staff culé. Everything aims to that in the weeks to come, and even days, the Barça will begin to renegotiate the agreements of the jugadores to achieve an important reduction that allow to the club recess his mass salarial and later achieve the so longed for signature of Leo Messi, in addition to fixing some fiscal details that concern to the Argentinian forward of 34 years.
