The new president of FC Barcelona, Joan Laporta came to the Spanish team thus being a savior who repaid a large amount of money, to in turn, players in order to put together a competitive squad for the season that is underway.
However, now Laporta himself assured this Tuesday in an interview with EFE in Bogotá that, despite the fact that the club is “clean” , will not be able to sign in the winter market due to the “financial fair play rules of the Spanish league”.
“We had to make some levers, which were economic operations that saved the club from ruin, and now the club is in economic recovery, is now healthy with an expected income of 1.225 million euros, a profit also budgeted of 274 million , but despite that, according to the rules of the financial ‘fair play’ of the Spanish league, we cannot sign”, expressed Laporta.
The manager, who is in Colombia promoting an initiative of the Barça Foundation and Acnur for refugees on the border with Venezuela, described as “contrasent” what happens to the Catalan club with respect to financial “fair play”.
“We and some LaLiga clubs are also trying to convince the league to be more flexible and allow us other types of interpretations that can make Barcelona strengthen itself even more”, he stated.
However, let’s remember that on social networks, Barcelona’s economic vice president, Romeu, spoke about Messi’s possible contract for June , where emphasized that his free arrival can help the team, although of course, we would have to talk about the technical decision and if Xavi Hernández, or the coach who is at that moment, wants the Argentinian player arrival.
“As it would be free, surely it is something we can do.
But it would be a technical decision anyway. ” There is a salary margin, we have made an effort this summer in salaries”, explained Romeu according to the information shared by Fabrizio Romano.
