As we told you about the return of Leo Messi in Spain may end depending on LaLiga Validation Bodythe person in charge of giving the go-ahead to the operation due to the economic situation that the Barça club is going through.
As it was collected in Article 105 of LaLiga Budgetingthis body brings together a large number of powers when it comes to reviewing the situation of clubs, starting with “Accepting and Approving League Budgets prepared and presented by Clubs/SADs, and where applicable not accept them”, and this includes requiring clubs to provide “as many explanations, justifications, proofs, evidence, and documents” as they deem appropriate in relation to the information contained in the Budgets presented, “requesting new budget”, proceeding with adjustments to the presented, accepting or rejecting alternative assessments of budget items or other proposals.
Ability to set template cost limits
Its capacity with respect to Squad Cost Limits is particularly important, as its powers include “setting or assigning to us, both registered and unregistered, approving or rejecting Increases in Sports Cost Limits Squad requested under” LaLiga budget rules.
But it is especially important, and therefore its link to the possible return of Leo Messiwhich is in section bis of the same article 105 where it is made very clear, as we have already said in MD, that this Valuation Committee He shall “conduct the assessment of the players and coaches who make up the squads of Clubs and SADs, as well as any other assessment that may be submitted to him in relation to assets or operations.”
In other words, it is said that the Committee, if necessary, has to make an assessment of the price or salary that should be Leo Messi on his return to the Barça club. An assessment that he has not carried out so far because neither party has requested it, either LaLiga or Barcelona, Assessment that should be carried out according to objective criteria and preferably using special technological programs or platforms.
To make these assessments and possible adjustments, the Committee must consider aspects such as “the cost of acquiring the player, the value of his termination clause or the compensation elements available,” in addition to other elements such as: “age of the player , the current situation of the football market, the term of validity of the contract and, if applicable, assignment contracts”. Also other variables such as “the number of caps in the current season and the previous one, the individual awards (Ballon d’Or, Pichichi, Zamora, etc.), obtained in the last 3 years, the number of international championships won in the last 4 years, the number of national championships won in the last 2 years or the number/percentage of games played in the current and previous seasons”.
That is, if it is the case that one of the two parties requests this assessment, the Argentine’s salary can never be lower than this amount, which will compute for LaLiga Squad Cost Limit. That is, even if the Barça club reaches an agreement with the Argentine on a “testimonial” salary, it will be worthless for the club’s budget situation in front of LaLiga if it is lower than that set by the validation body that this.
Lawyers with a long history
As the regulation itself states, this committee may consist of three or five members, all of whom are independent experts, preferably appointed from among financial economists and sports law specialists with proven knowledge and experience in the matter.
