However, the Barça still does not have margin salarial sufficient for oficializar the operation and everything aims to that it will be necessary to expect until the 30 or on 31 August to concretise the cession.
And it is that the club still has not received the corresponding money to the last 'crowbar' activated by the directive, corresponding to the resale of a 16 % of his audiovisual producer at the end of German investment Líbero.

In case that, deportivamente, the aims do not fulfil , the club will have to look for alternatives to fulfil with the plan of economic feasibility presented in front of LaLiga, which depends in good part of the attainments that reach this season. Thus, assume the compulsory purchase of Cancel is not a good idea.
