Barça does not give up on Haaland and the new signings: "We work hard"

Erling Haaland Has been linked with the FC Barcelona from does some time. Since Joan Laporta won the presidency of the club, in March of the past year, has converted to the Norwegian in the big dream of the club and in the possible offensive leader of the team on a long-term basis, but knows that it is a traspaso more than complicated by the economic outlay that means and the big competition that there is in the market.

The forward of the Borussia Dortmund is the name of the moment and all the teams in Europe want it of face to the window of transfers estival, when it will activate the clause liberatoria of 75 million euros that pactó his agent, Mino Raiola, to the moment of his signing by the picture Teutonic in January of 2020. The Barça does not want to lose the opportunity to go in to the fight by his index card.

The big problem is that it is a very costly signing that, in five years, would force to the club to disburse around 350 million euros in total and, as we already know, the Barça does not cross his best moment economically speaking, by not saying that it is the worst. It remains a long way so that the Barcelona recover of this 'bajón', but the good news is that they are working in this. And it can have hope with Haaland.

The director of football of the picture culé, Mateu Alemany, has spoken in a talk with students of London School of Economics Sports Business on several appearances of the actuality of the Barça and the subject of Haaland jumped between the questions. The director did not want to 'wet' in this regard, but yes left a track: the club works in this, but any movement depends of the 'fair play' financial.

In concrete, Alemany explained that "I can not speak of names. The only that I can say is that the FC Barcelona keeps on being one of the best clubs of the world and our aim always is to have the most competitive staff. We are working in this". Obviously, it has not spoken in concrete of some footballer, but in his back statements gave the key to think in some traspaso, as the one of Haaland.

"We are hard at work. It is necessary to analyse each situation. Hire to a footballer is different to hire to any another type of employee. It is necessary to have a lot in account, the fair play financial, for example. It is very complex". In this sense, if the Barça is able of sanear (or improve his economy) in these previous months to the market of signings, could then speak of a traspaso. If no, it will be impossible.

Why the Fair Play limits to the Barça?

It is necessary to split standing out that, as it explains in LaLiga, the limit salarial is "the maximum amount that each club/SAD can consume during the season 2021/2022 after the market of summer, and that includes the cost in players, first trainer, second trainer and preparador physical of the first team", adding that "it includes besides the cost in subsidiaries, quarry and other sections (staff no inscribible, as it defines in the Article 38 of the Norms of Preparation of Budgets)".

The limit salarial calculates with an equation 'simple' between the planned income that has the team, deduced his payments of structure and the cost of the planned debt for said season. To the income by rights by television, agreements of sponsorship, partners and credited, income by competitions (League, Glass, Europe), income of exploitation, advertising and sales of players (with plusvalías) subtract him the costs, that are: wages of players and trainers, amortizaciones of the players, commissions to representatives, prime, compensations, as well as the quarry and subsidiaries.

The point that more subtracts, obviously, are the wages of the players. Going in in this season, the Barça stood out that the mass salarial was of some 470 million euros. With the forecast of the income, from LaLiga 'pactaron' a limit of 97.942 millions for the season (will see reduced/increased in brief, after the wintry market), that is to say, the cost of the staff of the Barça is 372.052 'kilos' elder of what, in theory, can the club spend in question of wages. Of there that the club suffer with the fair play financial, because it can not inscribe to new players... Or it is very slope up, in concrete.

How the Barça can fichar if it exceeds his limit?

Alemany Recognised that the subject of the 'fair play' is very complete, and go that it is it. When the clubs exceed his limit salarial, like raisin in the Barça, LaLiga offers a road of leakage to the clubs that exceed his limit salarial in a season, with the article number 100, that includes two key rules.

And it is that, although a club surpass the mount that pacta LaLiga, can follow fichando. For this is the rule '1 to 4', which establishes that por each four euros freed with a sale with plusvalías or discount salarial, can use one to inscribe to a player. In a simple example, if it achieves the sale of, for example, Òscar Mingueza by 20 million euros, the Barça can use 5 'kilos' of those to process a registration.

However, there is another rule with which is easier to generate income. It treats of the '1 to 2', which uses in players that represent 5% of the total cost of the staff and allows to use the half of what free with his sale/recesses salarial. For example, if the Barça sold to Sergio Busquets (one of the best paid and without amortización pending) in 20 millions, can use ten for the registration of a footballer.
