Ferran Torres vs the 'Fair Play': How could Barça fit it?

Ferran Torres is called to be the new forward of the FC Barcelona of face to the window of wintry transfers. Has the 'OK' of the sportive direction, of the trainer Xavi Hernández and also of the own player, the one who would be loved to return to Spain and turn into the new Barcelona player. The last informations have desvelado that the club has achieved a principle in accordance with the ex of Valencia, but the negotiations with the Manchester City will be, as little, difficult.

With the 'case Sterling' the Barça already darse that the picture 'citizen' is not in the work to give to his players, although they want to go out (as it is the case of Raheem Sterling, for example). However, the City does not go to be the only obstacle of the Barcelona entity of face to negotiate the traspaso of Ferran Torres, in January or July. It is not a secret for anybody that the club crosses a delicate economic situation and that each movement in the market is one 'nightmare' in the offices. Why? The reason is very simple: there is not 'cash' and the Barça exceeds his limit salarial, by what are many the accounts that would have to take out the Barcelona to do him a gap to the international with 'The Red'.

To understand the scope of the extreme situation of the Barça, it is necessary to remember that LaLiga has 'imposed' a limit salarial of 97,942 million euros and the current staff 'slope' 470 millions, according to the official figures that has offered the club. What means that the Catalans exceed the tope in around 372 'kilos'. It is a very worrisome situation, since the quantity that exceed of the limit of this year will subtract of the limit of the next season. However, in spite of this excess, the Barça (and all the teams that live this) have a window: the rule '1 to 4' or '1 to 2'. The two rules that would allow the registration of Ferran in the staff. To continuation, explain the reasons:

LaLiga Allows the registration of new players, as long as they fulfil with the rule. The first rule ('1 to 4') establishes that the team can spend in the team of football 25% of what ingresan, that is to say, if they free 100 million euros (by sales with plusvalías or discounts salariales), will be able to use 25 'kilos' in the registration of a new footballer. However, when the player with which frees mass salarial supposes 5% of the total of the mass salarial, applies the rule '1 to 2', that allows to the club spend the half of what has freed ('case Griezmann' the past summer, that left profits of 20 millions).

In this sense, remembering the words of does so only some weeks of the sportive director of the Barça, Mateu Alemany, aiming that "no us leftover at all. It will be necessary to see if in January can carry out other actions that give us more Fair Play to be able to look for alterativas that like to the míster. To day of today is not possible; from the day 1 January already will see", remains something clear: If it does not free before, it will not be able to arrive Ferran Torres or any player, but... How much space it would be necessary to do to inscribe to the player of the Manchester City?

The accounts of the Barça

With all this -complicated- panorama in mind, it is necessary to take out the calculator and have always in mind that it is necessary to free four times what cost the player (with the exception of the '1 to 2'). There are two stages to carry to Ferran Torres to the Barça: signing or conveyance with option to buy to final of season. In the first, will take in account that the current value of the footballer was of 60 million euros. Besides, it is necessary to underline that his wage, by the low (and explaining that it do a big economic effort) would be of 10 'kilos' by season.

It is necessary to take in account that that mount it would be necessary 'split it' to the half because we speak of a traspaso to the half of campaign. The cost of amortización and of wage becomes of 50%. However, with an agreement of six years that could offer the Barça, would be 10 millions by year (60 between six, ten of amortización each course) and the annual wage of 10. The cost for the mass salarial would be of 20 'kilos' by season and, arriving in January, would be only 10 for this year. In this case, the FC Barcelona would have to generate a saving in the market of signings of winter of 40 millions to fit the operation like traspaso (applying the rule of the '1 to 4'). A very difficult figure to achieve.

To achieve this quantity it would be necessary to sell to important players... Because already in the summer observió as, with a few operations, the saving was very little and that, after the registrations, only remained 20 millions in box. Of there that it was paramount to follow the discounts salariales, sales with plusvalías and also cessions, that will allow the saving of the wage of said player... Everything before thinking in a movement in the market with Ferran Torres.

The conveyance with option to buy, easier

Taking in account that an operation with traspaso is extremely complicated and that would suppose a monumental effort, the option of a loan with obligation of purchase sounds like the simplest road, but no thus it leaves to be difficult and it will be necessary to see if the Manchester City accesses to leave go out to ones of his 'cracks' of this form. That paints to be complicated. However, we analyse the accounts: In this case, it is necessary to take the hypothetical wage of 10 million euros and divide it to the half, that would be 5. To inscribe it, it would be necessary to do a gap of 20 (5x4: 20, applying the same rule of the '1 to 4'). A very inferior figure, without place to doubts, but that it will be a quebradero of head.
