Bonomi Aims to take out the maximum benefit of the merchandising blaugrana to scale global, by which would be a business 'round' for all the parts.
To his time, Laporta and Alemany expect to close agreements with Goldman Sachs and CVC to obtain near of 270 'kilos' that amortise the debt of the club and destraben the problem with the 'fair play' financial and the limit of mass salarial. A lot of movements (exits, arrivals) can gestarse in summer, but all will have to await, at least, two weeks, until the next assembly of the club.
