The ‘economic fair play of LaLiga is the great obstacle that Barça must overcome in order to register Ferran Torres (21 years old) once his signing is finalized. And it is that if the situation of the FC Barcelona already is complicated before the winter market opens, according to sources of the entity culé this scenario could worsen. And it is that according to some information that has reached the club, the adjustments of LaLiga Regarding the cost limit of the Barça sports squad, they could suffer a drastic reduction as soon as the new window of player transactions opens, as of January 3, 2022.
In fact, there is talk in the Barça club that the scarce 98 million in positive that the club officially had for salaries could even be put in negative based on the adjustments of the employer, after the renewals of Pedri Y Ansu, of the dismissal of Koeman and the signing of Xavi and its coaching staff.
A new “absurd and ridiculous” scenario
A figure has even been unofficially slipped – higher than one hundred million negative – as a new salary limit that is considered “absurd and ridiculous” at the club. It is classified as such because, if confirmed, at Barça they ask the question of whether the players in the squad “have to pay to play with us or if we have to throw out half the team to comply with those parameters, but while we can sign ”. In LaLiga they do not want to give official figures on the clubs although it is pointed out that each entity already knows how it is at the ‘fair play’ level.
In the club’s accounts, it is anticipated that with a hypothetical renewal of Dembele there would be room to register Ferran (which has adjusted its file a lot and whose cost must be divided at the level of amortization in five seasons) already Dani Alves.
The continuity of Dembele It is key because the high cost of your file and its amortization corresponding to this season would be greatly reduced because those costs would fall: in the case of amortization, because it would be divided into the years that you signed; in the case of the token, because it would agree to a substantial reduction. In addition, in his case, given that he is a player who costs the club a lot, the 1/2 rule could be applied in ‘fair play’. That is to say, that of every two million that was saved with the renewal of the Frenchman, the Barça could dedicate one to new salaries.
