Club faces Barcelona The Spaniard has great difficulties that prevent him from making new contracts during the current winter transfer period, due to the Financial Fair Play regulations, despite the retirement of the veteran Spanish defender, Gerrard. piqueAnd the departure of Dutch striker Memphis Depay to Atletico Madrid.
And the newspaper “Mundo Deportivo” revealed, on Tuesday, that FC Barcelona will have to reduce the total salaries of its players in the coming months by 200 million euros, and it will not be able to use economic levers again, as was the case last summer.
The newspaper added in its report that the Catalan club will not use the margin it gained from selling Depay to the “Rojiblancos” team, to conclude new deals, but it will allow it to reduce the salary block, as it can invest in 40% of the salary, which has a value of 2.2 million euros.
The “Blaugrana” management can also invest from the margin of selling the player by 25%, knowing that the value of the deal amounted to only 3 million euros, and thus it will be allowed to register the two contracts of the Uruguayan defender Ronald Araujo and the Spanish midfielder Gavi, after they were renewed earlier.
The report concluded that the Barcelona club management refuses to make new contracts in the current month of January, because any new deal that the club will conclude in the current transfer market will contribute to increasing the salary mass that the club has to reduce a lot within months, from the value of 600 million euros to 400. million euros.
Barcelona’s coach, Xavi Hernandez, will have to compete for all possible titles with his current squad, and the matter is related to the Spanish League, the King’s Cup and the European League, while relying on some players of the reserve team when they are needed.
It is worth noting that the Barcelona administration made many deals during the last summer transfer market, contracting with the Polish Robert Lewandowski from Bayern Munich, the Brazilian Rafinha from the English Leeds United, and the French Jules Conde from Seville, Spain, in addition to concluding other free deals, such as the inclusion of Spaniards Marcos Alonso and Hector Bellerin, Danish Andreas Christensen and Ivory Coast player Frank Kessie.
