Barça still does not see itself with the capacity to sign Lewandowski

The FC Barcelona is working to be able to have the option of signing powerful players in this market, something that inevitably happens by generating salary space for them, something that does not exist right now. Therefore, the first logical consequence of this is that, as of today, the Barça club does not have the economic capacity to face a signing like that of Robert Lewandowski. And it’s not that I don’t like Polish. Unlike. The coaching staff would be delighted by hiring him, starting with Xavi.

The problem is that if in the current season the Barça It has had problems to square the incorporations of both the summer and the winter market, with a view to the next campaign the situation worsens. And it is that footballers who arrived adjusting their salary to what the Barça this year, they will see their record increase as of July 1. This is the case, for example, of Memphis, Eric Garcia, Aubameyang y Ferran Torres. There are also veterans who will see their record increased, as it is growing, such as Busquets o Pique.

In this sense, the Barça needs to activate “economic levers”, as the president called them The door, in order to generate income that increases the club’s ability to pay salaries, which is now negative. Those levers can be a sponsor for the sleeve of the team jersey, a deal with the fund CVC (the Barça you are working on it but you do not want it to be computed as debt) or the sales of BLM (Barça Licensing and Merchandising) o de Barça Studiostransactions of a complex nature.

Another obvious solution is to sell players, something that can generate direct profit through capital gains and salary savings. However, the case of Lewandowski it continues to be complicated. Although the Pole agrees to lower his claims to play for Barça, he now earns a fixed fee of 22 million gross in the Bayern that, with variables, you can go to 25 ‘kilos’. And although the Pole makes an effort, it does not seem easy that, at 33 years old, he is going to accept charging much less in his last contract.
