Probably there is not team in Europe that do not dream with having to Erling Haaland in his staff. The FC Barcelona is one of which has been interested in the goleador Norwegian from his first 'destellos' in the RB Salzburg and, in front of the possibility that it abandon the Borussia Dortmund, all the clubs begin to take out accounts to know if they could add to the bidding by his traspaso, that will be all less economic... It can the Barça add?

To day of today seems very difficult. It is not a secret for anybody that the economic situation of the entity is delicate and are few the options that have the culés to achieve big incorporations. Mateu Alemany Recognised does weeks that "no us leftover at all" and Joan Laporta has insisted in different occasions that first is necessary to achieve exits and discounts salariales to think in some 'crack', in January or July. However, although the Barça achieve this first aim, the signing of Haaland results complicated.

'Sport1' has stood out that yes it exists a clásula liberatoria for Erling Haaland from the summer of 2022, if it arrives a satisfactory offer to the offices of the Signal Iduna Park. This would have to rondar the 100 or 120 million euros, but would not be the only to pay by the 'crack' Norwegian. His father, in addition to Mino Raiola, also want a commission 'substantial' that it could be of 60 'kilos': 40 for the representative and 20 for Alf-Inge Haaland. There, they add 200 million euros.

Likewise, it is necessary to take in account the wage that pretends to have Haaland in his new team, that aims to be of 30 net millions (60 gross millions). In this sense, would be an enormous investment for the FC Barcelona and any team, but especially for a Barcelona club that exceeds his limit salarial in more than 372 million euros and that has to stick to the rule of the '1 to 4' for the registration of some footballer. Like this then , we review the accounts of the Barça to inscribe to Haaland, in case of 'miracle'.

First, it is important to highlight that the rule of the article 100 establishes that, if it begins with the limit salarial exceeded, allows inscribe to new footballers as long as it do not exceed of 25% of the decrease of costs of the staff, that is to say, that if the Barça frees (with sales with plusvalías or discounts salariales) 40 millions, can take 10 of them for said registration. This, precisely, was what avoided that Leo Messi went inscribed in the summer like player of the club, after winning his agreement.

The case is that with Haaland the accounts are 'simple' to understand. His traspaso would be of 200 'kilos' and, in such a case, would offer an agreement of six years. More his wage of 60 gross millions. To know which would be his amortización, the formula is the price of traspaso divided between the years of agreement, more the wage. If it went by this period of time, the accounts would remain like this:

  • Cost by traspaso: 200 million euros
  • Agreement offered: 6 years
  • Annual wage: 60 million gross euros
  • Amortización Annual: (200/6) + 60m = 93.3 million euros

The rule '1 to 4'

The 93.3 million euros is the amortización annual to have to Erling Haaland, as long as they are the above-mentioned numbers. However, here it is when it goes in in function the article 100 and the rule '1 to 4'. Like the Barça exceeds his limit salarial, would have to free four times what costs really Haaland by year. In this case, they would be 373.2 million euros in sales with plusvalías and discounts salariales to do him a gap in the staff of the Barcelona picture. A figure inasumible.

The way more 'simple' is that they exist extraordinary income that help to that the club increase his limit salarial, with sponsors new, but the situation aims to be complicated. The Barça lived this situation the summer happened with Messi, the one who went to earn 40 million euros by season and forced to the culés to free 160 'kilos' of the mass salarial. Also it happened with Memphis, Eric and Agüero, but with wages much lower, the reductions of the captains were sufficient to process his registrations.
