Calendar of FC Barcelona

The confirmation of Xavi Hernández like trainer of the FC Barcelona until, like minimum, the summer of 2025, has left a lot of conclusions and histories. The Barcelona directive trusts that it is the most hit decision to give continuity to a project that could finish to consolidate if they give the steps hit; with signings and retouchings in the cuerdo technical. The leaf of route of the club will begin to take form and if there is something clear is that the figure of the of Terrassa will be key to the hour to take decisions.

Xavi aimed, in press conference, that the illusion is maximum for following to the control of the team. They have remained backwards the doubts that had produced in January when it announced his resignation and, after conversations, negotiations and promises, the directive, sportive direction and technical body have decided to row in the same direction to achieve the aim that the Barça, after a season in which they aim to remain without titles, can be able to compete so much in Spain as in Europe.

The promise to Xavi that 'engage' to the Barça

For this, it is necessary to take decisions and move fast. 'SPORT' Has informed that Joan Laporta and company have transmitted to the trainer egarense that, although the economic situation keeps on being complicated, this summer will have the necessary reinforcements for his staff. They are conscious that it will be vital the incorporation of a mediocentro 'top', a left side and an offensive midfield player. The club will try to complete the greater quantity of possible operations, but are conscious that, before this, will have to generate income.

In this point, the most complicated of all for the Catalan entity, there are several factors to take in account. The most important of all is that the club needs, as little, 100 million euros before closing the present exercise, on 30 June. 40 'kilos' correspond to the non-payment of Free Football Finances. The deadline to receive the money was on 31 December of the past year and did not produce . Besides, this summer corresponds the payment of the rest of the 60 millions by the sale of Barça Vision and, as it is the situation, hardly the bottom investor and NIPA credit the corresponding money.

Joan Laporta commented in an interview to 'Sportive World' does some weeks that existed a company that was had to do with the purchase of 49% of the audiovisual arm of the club and that it would be key to solve the 'blockade' of LaLiga in this section. On the other hand, it is on the table the changes in the agreement of sponsorship of Nike, that would happen to pay to the Barça 100 million euros by season to ensure the renewal of the agreement by ten years more. They would include a bono of €120m to the hour to sign the new bond.

The Barça, forced to sell to be able to fichar

They are the two roads by which the Barça bets so that his economy go out to float, but from the club recognise that they will have to produce painful sales to have options to reinforce . The looks aim to Frenkie of Jong, the one who would be in the ramp of exit, as diverse informations. The names of Ronald Araújo, Jules Koundé or Raphinha also will be on the table, although what yes seems clear is that the Catalans will bet by players that already are amortised entirely so that the money of his possible sale compute like profits to eyes of LaLiga.

Once it was completed the 'dirty work', will be able to speak of signings of realistic way. That has been the message of Joan Laporta to Xavi Hernández in the last hours and the 'promise' to which grasps the egarense to follow to the control of the team in the next season. It is conscious that the talent already is in the staff, but considers that it needs strategic pieces that elevate the level and give 'felt' to the game. The names of Joshua Kimmich, Bernardo Silva and some left side will be on the table, without place to doubts.
