In the context of Barcelona’s continuous attempts to get out of the financial crisis that the club is going through, which severely affects its movement in terms of contracting new stars, the Board of Directors decided to call for an ordinary general meeting within two weeks in order to ask its members for new proposals in order to provide sufficient financial support to help the club In rebuilding the team and changing its structure with new deals this summer.
Although the “Catalan” club has become in a better financial position than it was last year, it is still required to get rid of a number of its players so that it can sign new deals during the next summer “Mercato”.
The “Aspen” network stated that the Barca administration aims to provide a new financial injection of up to 700 million euros, in order to achieve its goals, and the “marketing” branch of the club will be put up for sale, as it alone can generate a return of 200 million euros, while the rights of TV broadcasting could save another 500 million euros, depending on the term of the contract and the nature of the buyer.
The network said that the club’s president, Juan Laporta, did not lose hope that the financial situation could be fixed as soon as possible, so that the football team could meet its needs for new stars, and sell other stars before the next summer transfer market closed.
In a related context, Laporta expressed his outrage at the statements made by Javier Tebas, president of the Spanish League “La Liga”, in which he said that Barcelona could not contract with Polish star Robert Lewandowski due to the lack of his financial resources.
Laporta responded to him, asking him to stop making comments about potential contracts for the Catalan club, or to talk about his financial means, because this harms the interests of the club.
Laporta added, in statements to the club’s media, saying: I want to remind Tebas that his main job is to take care of the affairs of “La Liga”, professional football and clubs, and not go into a conversation about Barcelona’s ability to buy players or not.
