Barcelona He has the idea of reinforcing the team in the next winter market. At least this is the idea that Xavi and the Sports Management have. There are three positions for immediate improvement. The first of them is the Right side. The club signed Hector Bellern on the final day of the transfer window, but it wasn’t one of the priority options he had in mind. If he did it, it’s because he barely had a salary margin to look for a more expensive player and because the defender accepted a salary of one million euros.
It is, however, one of the locations they want to improve. And the sooner the better. Also looking for a pin. It’s the only position that isn’t folded in the squad and Busquets will leave the club next June barring a big surprise. And finally, a central defender would be needed, but this position doesn’t seem so urgent in January given that there are already four players in the squad.
Back to the 1/4 rule
Regardless of the wishes of the technical side, it remains to be seen whether the club is really in a position to undertake these signings. The payroll account remains a problem for the club that has been aggravated since lack of income from the Champions League. Looking ahead to January, the club would be under the 1/4 rule again, having been level in the previous summer transfer window.
However, in Can Bara they are not so sure that this is the case. The rules of La Liga are subject to interpretationthere have already been some changes in the previous months, and they want to negotiate to have an edge in the purchases.
PSF negative
“We are limited by financial fair play. The rules say we are negative and we have to compensate. We have different interpretations of the norm. We need to talk about it and find a solution,” said Joan Laporta yesterday in Rac1.
Here’s how things stand a month and a half after the opening of the winter transfer market. A situation that makes any operation difficult That can be done, something similar has already happened in the summer, because Bara cannot make specific offers.
