Barcelona imagine they’re on the verge being again inside their wage restrict, having despatched the paperwork of their most up-to-date asset sale to La Liga. In an try, which can or is probably not profitable, to register Dani Olmo and Pau Victor for the second half of the season, the Blaugrana have conform to promote the industrial rights to a few of their VIP seats on the newly renovated Camp Nou for the subsequent twenty years.
In response to Relevo, the deal shall be finalised for round €110m, with two entities from Dubai and Qatar respectively. MD say that the deal is not going to see all the revenue from their VIP seats go away the membership, and so they count on to earn round €25k per yr from every VIP seat all the identical.
Laporta went to the Ciutat Esportiva to satisfy with Flick earlier than his press convention. Neither has he gone right down to the locker room to offer explanations nor has he spoken to the 2 affected. @fansjavimiguel

That stated, the entire determine that Barcelona have been forecast to make on the rights they’ve offered to these two companies stays as of but, unclear. Logically, these unnamed companies would count on so as to add important worth on prime of what they’ve spent, whereas Barcelona will lose out by way of inflation too.
The Catalan paper go on to elucidate that Barcelona count on to have the ability to function within the switch market inside their wage restrict after this deal, protecting the €60m that La Liga President Javier Tebas had stated they have been brief. It means in impact that Barcelona can spend the identical amount of cash that they carry in, reasonably than being compelled to make use of simply 50% of the cash the additional cash they carry in in direction of their wage restrict.
If that’s the case, it will contradict latest experiences, claiming that Barcelona stay €153m over their wage restrict, almost twice what the determine was final season. Given President Joan Laporta’s lack of transparency over their wage restrict, and La Liga’s dedication to confidentiality on the matter, it’s tough to determine the reality of it. It may result in the absurd scenario the place Barcelona lose Olmo and Victor for the remainder of the season, however are capable of spend within the switch market.
