FC Barcelona has sealed its participation in the next edition of the Champions League and it is a 'relief' for the club's coffers. Now, there will be some room for maneuver to meet the needs of the team

Calendar of FC Barcelona

After the victory against the Real Betis of this Saturday (1-2) the FC Barcelona confirmed his participation in the next edition of the UEFA Champions League, one of the two big aims of the Barcelona picture in this final stretch of the season in front of the impossibility to win a title. It is the best news to sportive level, but also in the economic section, put have remained out of the competition would have been an authentic drama.

And it is that classify to the League of Champions was in the forecasts of income of the culés for this exercise and if they did not achieve , went to accumulate more losses of which there is right now (that they would surpass the one hundred million euros), reason by which -as it has been this course- is a big news that allows to look to the future with a bit more than optimism and that gives to the Barça margin of manoeuvre to begin to schedule the next season.

Only it remains 'tie up' definitively the second square of the classification of LaLiga, that would guarantee 60 million euros of income: 52 by the television rights and eight 'kilos' for participating in the next Supercopa of Spain. To fault that it achieve (already seems very possible), from the dispatches of the Camp Nou begin to define the key needs for the next course, that will arrive with a lot of novelties. We review the main:

Do 'hollow' in the changing room

The big need of the Barça is to generate income in this summer. The economic situation is dramatic and does not give margin to big operations, reason by which will be key that the club can sell to a few footballers for, in addition to freeing squares in the changing room (is full, with 25 index cards), can generate plusvalías to think in signings. If it is not like this, it will be impossible to think in new players.

The names of Clément Lenglet, Samuel Umtiti, Net, Óscar Mingueza, Martin Braithwaite and Riqui Puig are in the eye of the hurricane, place are players with which Xavi Hernández does not explain at all. To this, it will be necessary to add that Adama Traoré and Luuk of Jong will return, with all probability, to his respective clubs after culminating his cessions.

The Barça will have to resolve, besides, the situations of players like Francisco Trincãor, Miralem Pjanic, Iñaki Crag and Àlex Hill, those who will return to the Camp Nou after fulfilling with his respective loans. They are players that probably will abandon in the team, with the exceptions of Iñaki and Hill, those who will remain in the staff except surprise. The guardameta will be the acting of Ter Stegen and Hill aims to renew until 2025, but could go out yielded a season more.

Key reinforcements for the staff

If the Barça is able to generate sufficient plusvalías to have margin with his limit salarial (that it is the big headache of the culés!) Will be able to think , definitively, in the new signings, that aim to be varied. Andres Christensen and Franck Kessié would be tied like free agents and both would have a near wage to the six million euros, but to inscribe them before is necessary to free mass salarial.

In this sense, when they concretise these two operations, foresees that they will work in other new. There are not clear-cut names, although they are many those that sound to land in the Camp Nou this summer. Between the priorities are the signing of a '9' of guarantees and that it can serve of reference for the attack. Likewise, it could arrive a left side that can serve of competition for Jordi Alba and another right-handed in front of the irregularity of Sergiño Dest and the 'age' of Dani Alves.

Confidence in the youngest

Finally, but more important still is that the Barça will follow trusting his small big stars of the staff. The names of Ansu Fati, Pedri González, Gavi or Nico aim to lead the team to average and long term, by what the next season will be key so that they keep growing in the staff. The confidence in them is absolute, especially in Ansu and Pedri, those who aim to be the 'cracks' of the club.
