LALIGA SEES A MARGIN FOR IMPROVEMENT IN BARÇA
Player sales, new Camp Nou... Barça's roadmap to improve its economy
There are many efforts by FC Barcelona to try to get out of the economic crisis that has 'persecuted' them in recent years. The main key to achieving this has been repeated, over and over again, by LaLiga
In the last months have been few the 'advances' economic that has had the FC Barcelona of face to face the eternal mission of 'fix' his accounts and live a market of signings 'calm'. The complaint at the end investor Free Football Finance AG by the non-payment of 40 million euros by the purchase of 10% of Barça Vision and works to put in the available shop window to the players that are yielded in this season, but of rest the club has not given firm steps to try improve the panorama... And the time runs against.
The blaugrana are conscious that, if they want to reinforce his staff in summer, before have to sell and generate extraordinary income. Will have 'crowbars' important with the possible sale of Lenglet, Dest, among others, but from LaLiga have left clear that the only form to solve all the problems is with the traspaso of players that are very very valued in the market. Previously, the names of Jules Koundé, Raphinha or Ronald Araújo were on the table, but from the Barça do not want to sell them.
In fact, in March Javier Thebes indicated in the Financial Times Summit of London that "the Barça has options that can take his leaders if they think that go to give solutions. Have two or three players of first level that can sell. With this, would solve big part of the problem. With this can generate income that do not generate interests of debt and with this can pay to players". The mejoría 'raisin' for selling to important pieces and is something that the sportive direction, to day of today, is not valuing.
The Camp Nou, key for the mejoría?
The situation is delicate and will require that in the high spheres of the club go back to do malabares to achieve that the accounts square. It will not be a simple summer, except extraordinary operation or sorpresón in the market, but in the Barça are treating to take it calmly and go day in day out. They are many the urgencies that exists and have confidence in that they will be able to solve them all to time. Have the 'backrest' of LaLiga that, according to SPORT', thinks that the club will be in conditions of reconducir his financial crisis in the next seasons.
The main key for the patronal is the inauguration of the new Camp Nou, that aims to be smart in the first four months of the 2025. They understand that it will be key to increase the income and that will cause that the club was more balanciado. Javier Thebes and company understand that they have given the first steps; from the reduction of the mass salarial of 670 to 500 million euros until the crowbars activated between 2022 and 2023.
The measures 'immediate' are urgent
Likewise, always according to the before quoted source, from LaLiga understand that "the capacity of indebtedness of the Barça is out of all doubt" and put the inauguration of the stadium like the date of start so that the Barcelona entity was able "to wipe away good part of his debt". To the directors corresponds him the hardest work and find the formula so that the club 'work' in the short term. Still it remains 'too' so that the Camp Nou have positive effects.
