LaLiga continues to maintain that Barça is on the right track to operate under the 1/1 rule, but that it is still not enough to carry out operations in the summer market
FC Barcelona's effort to operate under the 1/1 rule of financial fair play is still not enough for LaLiga, chaired by Javier Tebas. According to the employers, although Barça is close to achieving its goal, it still lacks some details to be able to move in the transfer market with total normality.
In this scenario, according to 'Mundo Deportivo', one of the keys is the sale of the VIP boxes, with which the body decided to reduce the club's squad cost limit by 100 million euros. This injection subtracted for the economic regularization of the Blaugrana team was a hard blow.
'MD' also points out that, although FC Barcelona has taken significant steps to comply with 'fair play' financial, it has not yet reached the desired 1/1 balance that would allow it to register players with full normality in the current summer market.
As Javier Tebas recently warned, the Blaugrana club is still close to the objective, but has not reached it, mainly because it has not yet managed to compensate for the 100 million euros corresponding to the operation for the sale of boxes, closed in December but annulled by LaLiga last April.
Barça has not had financial fair play since April 2
According to LaLiga, Barça would have lost the condition of having financial fair play since April 2, which was granted at the beginning of the year, because the employers did not accept the operation of the 100 'kilos' related to the future sale of corporate seats.
While Barça still does not know when it will be able to execute the key operation of the boxes, the club has remained in motion with operations that can lighten the wage bill, such as the one-year loan of Ansu Fati to AS Monaco, whose departure represents a relief close to 8 million. Likewise, Clément Lenglet's final departure to Atlético de Madrid, who had two years left on his contract, allows Barcelona to save 6.4 'kilos' per year.
In addition, the club is working on possible departures such as those of Pablo Torre or Iñaki Peña. Any operation that contributes to further reducing the wage burden of the squad is still on the table at Camp Barça.
In this context, until Barcelona achieves the long-awaited 1/1 scenario in terms of financial fair play, its room for maneuver in the market remains conditional.
In addition, the club could not reinvest 100% of the money obtained either from the sale of a player or from the savings in their file, a restriction that also applies in the case of loans.
In the current context of financial fair play, Barça continues to operate with clear restrictions when it comes to reinvesting what it frees up or earns from player departures.
Wage cost and amortization at Barça
It should be noted that, in terms of wage cost and amortization, the club could only allocate up to 60% of that amount to the registration of a new footballer. The percentage rises to 70% only in the case of the so-called franchise players, that is, those whose salary represents at least 5% of the first team's wage bill, according to 'MD'.
On the other hand, with regard to the income obtained from a sale, the regulations only allow Barça to use 20% of the amount received, a figure that can be increased to 35% if it is a franchise player. These limitations continue to condition the club's sports planning until it manages to recover the 1/1 rule.
