"(Flick And Deco) will take the decisions, will elevate them to the managerial board and will see if they can validate depending on this transition that are doing to the economic tranquility", said Joan Laporta recently on the possibility that the FC Barcelona went out to the market of signings during this summer. In the club, as it explained the president, think that will not be necessary so many 'modifications' to the current staff and have limited it to a mediocentro and, perhaps, a player of band.
The intention of the Barça is the one to give more opportunities to the youngsters of The Masia, but even with a plan that, for the moment, seems very austere regarding the signings, the situation is delicate. The club has a big problem to economic level that will limit all his margin of work in the weeks to come and that 'will force' to the sportive direction, as they explain from ACE, to work "blindly" until it close the exercise 2023/2024. Until then, all the movements and interests that filter from the Barcelona group will be only rumours.
The problem 'elder' in the Barça
To day of today, the reality is that the Barça does not have how 'tantear' the market. It is not a secret for anybody, in any case. It is very very known that have 40 million euros blocked of his Fair Play Financial by the non-payment of Free corresponding to the already very known 'crowbar' of Barça Vision. They have to credit that mount in the same concept so that LaLiga free this percentage in the limit salarial. Until there, everything well. But also it is in the horizon the 60 'kilos', also of Free, that corresponded ingresar before 30 June. That is to say, the Barça has to achieve in record time €100m to be able to fulfil with the parameters of LaLiga.
It is thus that from the sportive direction do not have how advance in the preparation of the staff for the season that comes. It is foreseen that Hansi Flick gather with Deco during next week to begin to define the high and drops of the vesturario, but will not be able to take decisions with regard to the signings. Both coincide in that it is necessary a reinforcement for the centre of the field and have sounded several names: Mikel Merino, Martín Zubimendi, Joshua Kimmich, Amadou Onana... Players that, obviously, will require an important investment.
To reinforce the attack, probably for the left extreme, the situation is harder. Recently it trascended that Luis Díaz was the big 'favourite' of Deco to reinforce the staff, but is a player that would be valued in 75 million euros and to the that the Liverpool will not want to give. The signing of Nico Williams, another that has sounded a lot for the club, would surpass the 100 'kilos' as the last report. It is not a simple situation.
The 'nuance' of Thebes that the Barça has to fulfil
Javier Thebes, president of LaLiga, has insisted constantly in that the Barça will be in conditions to go back to the rule 1:1 and fichar with normality, but with the nuance that "it depends on the management" and that they have to fulfil with his financial plan that presented during the past year: "they Have to culminate the operations that have between hands. We go having knowledge from the Department of Economic Control with the specialists of the FC Barcelona, as with all the clubs with which there is a very weekly contact, almost daily, and go explaining what go doing. Have the feeling that they go by good way, but it is necessary to culminate the things". Until they do not present , as such, the solutions, can not speak of signings. And it is the only reality of the culés.
