The president of LaLiga, Javier Tebas, went this Sunday night to the Onda Cero studios to grant an interview to the program The transistor from José Ramón de la Morena. The highest representative of the body that governs the clubs commented on several current issues, including the future of Leo Messi and the wage bill.
Tebas was very educational in ensuring that “we have a special rule for when a club exceeds its salary mass over that established by LaLiga where it can only incorporate players who account for 25% of the savings. If he Barça sells a player for 100 million euros, you can only spend 25. If the player Barça you save 10 million euros from a token, you can only spend 2.5 million on a new token ”. Thebes added that “if the Barcelona he wants to bring in a player who costs him 25 million per season in salary, he must exit either by transfer or by a salary cut to 100 million ”.
The lawyer introduced that “the norms of economic control of The league, approved by the clubs seven years ago, establish rules that the FC Barcelona knows, and the FC Barcelona part of a situation of losing 350 million this season, more than half of the total of Spanish football. This penalizes you in that the contracts that you are currently required to pay, because you have them in force, exceed what The league with its rules, it considers that Barcelona can be spent ”.
Thebes ruled that “they have to lower wages by a considerable amount or produce income from the sale of players.” He also stressed that “I cannot publicly tell about the plan that the FC Barcelona. They know that if they do not reduce a significant amount of the current emoluments that the players with a current contract have, they cannot incorporate anyone ”.
About the future of Leo Messi and if he will renew or not, the president of The league He said “I hope so but I don't know. He has been in Barcelona for many years and has a very strong family roots ”.
Finally, on the wage bill and the comparison between Barça Y Madrid He reflected that “he does not have that problem. I look at everything because I am worried about everyone. The Madrid gave a positive result of a few million euros, and this year seeing the salary reduction operations, we must expect that the losses will be infinitely lower than those of the FC Barcelona”.
