Jürgen Klopp, Laporta's almost impossible dream for Barça

The FC Barcelona will live a long process to find to his new trainer. In spite of the ráfaga of informations and rumours on the options for the place, from the club have left clear that will not be a decision that take airily and that it will be necessary to expect some time so that they begin to contact to the possible candidates. Jürgen Klopp, that will finish his career in the Liverpool in summer, is one of the names that will be in the list.

The German trainer announced during the past week that will leave of Anfield in what it finish the season and that his intention is to take a sabbatical year before going back to train in Europe. In the Barça always have been admirers of the work exerted by Klopp and, in fact, several sources coincide in that it always has been one of the 'dreams' of Joan Laporta, although the style that 'inject' to his teams does not have at all that see with the 'style Barça'.

The candidature of the Barça... Without arguments?

However, if there is something that is clear is that a thing are the dreams and wishes, but another very distinct are the real possibilities that can have the club to achieve the incorporation of one of the best trainers of the last decade. And it is that although has the profile of what needs the club; a technician with experience conteastada, that knows how handle the crises and that it is able to take out to relucir the best virtues of the players that go through his hands, the economic factor goes in at stake. And there it comes off badly the Barça.

There are two key points: the wage and the sportive project. To finals of March of 2023 trascended that Klopp earns around 17,8 million euros by season in the Liverpool, being the third better trainer paid of the world by behind Diego Simeone (€34m) and Pep Guardiola (€22,4m). To put it in context, in the last list of 'L'Instrument' with the technicians with greater income, Xavi Hernández appeared in the twelfth position, with a wage of €3,8m before the renewal. It informed that it was mínimamente increased his income... But it can, really, the Barça happen to pay 4 'kilos' to his trainer to 15-€17m? They are more than ten million difference in the middle of a financial crisis that seems not having a clear-cut end.

In this same line, also would result complicated (and unexpected) that Klopp was had to a 'bajón' in his income, in addition to that it is not a mount usual for the trainers in Spain. Except the 'Cholo' Simeone, in LaLiga the wages of the trainers are used to to be much lower that in England, Germany or Italy. The Real Madrid, for example, pay to Carlo Ancelotti 'alone' €11m by season. Think in that the Barça can reach these figures or that Klopp will be had to go down it, seems an utopia.

The Barça is not in conditions of fichar what can need Klopp

On the other hand, it is necessary to take in consideration the subject of the sportive project and the possibilities to go out to the market. Klopp Is a trainer that, constantly, alternative search to improve to his team through signings. In this season, without going further, the Liverpool fichó to Dominik Szoboszlai (€70m), Alecis Mac Allister (€42,5m), Ryan Gravenberch (€40m) and Wataru Endo (€20m). From Anfield have been able to fulfil with his needs and requirements, without loaning 'a lot of' attention to the montos of the traspasos. The Barça, sumido in his eternal crisis, is not in capacity to give him these eases. And, there, there is little for doing.
