Renewals, signings and departures: Barça de Laporta's great duties in 2022

After a 2021 in which the FC Barcelona sinned of irregularity and for leaving a lot of doubts in the majority of his performances, the 2022 presents like a year in which the culés will look for to improve his situation, in all the senses. The crisis culé is not only sportive, but also institutional; something that affects, of direct way, to the team. They are many the folders of urgent that has Joan Laporta and company in his dispatches that have to resolve immediately so that the Barça can 'breathe' and go back to be, once and for all, one of the most fearsome pictures (and winners) of Europe.

The institutional and economic crisis is deep and are many the consequences. The blaugrana registered pérdidas of 481 million euros in the past exercise and the debt rises to the 1.350 'kilos'. The egresos keep on being greater to the income and the club remains 'sunk' to financial level. They are many the effects of this situation, but can resumirse to two important points: there is not money with which fichar and neither 'fair play' financial to inscribe in the staff to new incorporations. Nevertheless, although there is not with what, the club manoeuvred to achieve the signing of Ferran Torres, because the Manchester City gave eases for the payment of the 55 fixed millions of his traspaso.

The problem is that, to few days that in Spain start the wintry market, there is not 'fair play' to inscribe it in LaLiga, of there that it was urgent the operation gone out of the club. In fact, conseguir sales with plusvalías, cessions and discounts salariales is the most important task for the Barça in this 2022, remembering that the mass salarial is of some 470 'kilos', 372 more than the limit salarial, that does not happen the 98 millions. Like this then , if the Barcelona club is still in this way to exceed the tope, this excess will be subtracted in the next year.

The exit of players like Samuel Umtiti or Philippe Coutinho, players with a very high wage, but that are not in the plans of the Barça to short neither average term. The two are, in theory, the players that are in the door of exit, but also exists the possibility of, if it exists the opportunity, put in the market to footballers like Sergiño Dest or Clément Lenglet. Yusuf Demir And Luuk of Jong, yielded in the Barça, aim to leave in January.

The problem roots in that the sale of these players have to be by important figures, but the problem is that big part of the Barcelona staff has remained devaluated in front of the irregular performance of the players. To the Barça, in addition to saving the wage, have to interest him the sales with plusvalías, but will not be a simple task of cumplir, especially in January, when the market of signings is 'weighed' and without so many alternatives.

Pending renewals

Waiting for what happen with Ousmane Dembélé (with agreement until 30 June), that to day of today is a mystery, also there is one those that for resolving. With the one of the French extreme, the one of Sergi Roberto is the most urgent, as long as the intention of the Barça was to extend his agreement. Before it had informed that from the Camp Nou wanted to that it signed an agreement until 2024, but up to now has not advanced in the negotiations. Xavi would want him in the team to average term, but will be 'KO' until mediated of April by injury.

It is, also, Dani Alves, but his stay further of 30 June of this year depends on his performance. Other pending subjects, with regard to the 2023, are the agreements of Sergio Busquets, Ronald Araújo or Gavi, footballers that the Barça wants to conserve and with which will have to begin to negotiate once and for all to achieve his signatures.

They will have more signings?

Everything seems to indicate to that the Barça will look for the signing of Álvaro Morata in this month of January. Only lacking 'convince' to the Athletic of Madrid, club to the that belongs him his index card, but also do him a gap in the staff (because there is not 'fair play'!). However, in this 2022 will be key to take decisions of face to the summer: there is with what put in the 'bidding' by Haaland?, Azpilicueta or Christensen can arrive to the Champ Nou? Everything will depend, as we repeat always, of the exits that can produce and of the margin salarial. For fichar before is necessary to sell.
