The financial situation of FC Barcelona remains complicated, because despite getting rid of several players from its squad, last summer they also incorporated several, so they still do not comply with the European financial Fair Play and they will have to solve it if they want to sign players again.
Last year they were able to incorporate players with the help of the economic “levers” that they executed, however currently the culé team has a salary limit of -144 million euros, so they must adjust these numbers and take them to positive before going on the market of signings.
Not long ago, with the departure of Memphis Depay to Atlético and the early retirement of Gerad Piqué, Barca freed up a salary margin, but it is still not enough; They also intend to incorporate new players before the deadline.
Laporta’s solution: Departures and Barca TV
From Spain they report that the president of FC Barcelona, Joan Laporta, has a plan to be able to extend the salary limit for next summer; which consists of two roads: Departures and Barca TV.
The first is the clearest and most sensible, because if you want to lower wages you must get rid of them. It is estimated that players like Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba and Sergi Roberto, who have the highest salaries in the squad, will leave this summer; which will free up wage bill.
On the other hand, the Catalan board sold a large part of its television rights before the start of this season to increase its budget; but they affirm that there is one last move at the level of rights for which they can obtain benefits and that is the sale of Barca TV, an online channel dedicated and exclusive to FC Barcelona.
The Culé are still alive in all competitions, they are leaders of LaLiga, they are in the Copa del Rey semifinal and only in the Champions League they could not transcend, although they are still in the race in international competition with the Europa League. Winning titles is also essential for Barcelona’s project, which for now will not be able to strengthen its squad until it solves its financial problems.
