As we said yesterday in MD, this Friday is the LaLiga Delegate Commission has given the green light to changes in economic control and which will take effect on January 1. Measures that favor Barcelona as an overstretched club but do not allow the arrival of new players for this winter market. Starting with Brazilian Víctor Roque.
As we explained a few days ago, one of the measures is related to the losses generated by the COVID. Until now LaLiga has set payment percentages for five seasons and is increasing. From 15% last season 2022-2023, 20% this 2023-2024 and the next and finally 22.5% in 2025-2026 and 2026-2027. On that date each club must pay 100% of the losses.
Now the employer’s intention is to set an annual limit based on their turnover, which would allow clubs to spread these losses over more years. And this way it has less impact on each club’s Squad Cost Limit.
He FC Barcelona shown to be close to some losses for Covid approximately 400 million euros. Based on the fixed distribution, last season he had to pay 60 million and initially he should pay 80 million currently. With this change, what reduces the Barcelona With the proration of this initial figure, it would allow him to increase the staff cost limit set today at 270 million euros, but it did not open the door to sign. The same applies to what is obtained from the amortization of some infrastructure such as stadium works. In the case of Barcelona This is Camp Nou.
The arrival of a winter signing now depends on these factors: that the Barcelona pay to The league the 40 million he owes since last June, the sale of players or any unusual income of the club. Regarding the first, this amount corresponds to the pending inheritance from the sale of 49% of Barça Studios in Orpheus Media and Socios.com in the summer of 2022.
The league, as we explained before, this operation is calculated for the Salary Limit in accordance with the regulations and its corresponding payment plan. The first payment of 20 million was made during the signing in the summer of 2022. The same did not happen with the second payment of 60 million due last June of this year. Where the Barça club paid only 20 million in the guarantee concept presented on September 1 by Joan Laporta. This 40 million is still pending to be paid by the fund Libero. Money that LaLiga continues to take from Barcelona and affects the squad value limit. His disbursement will give the Barça team a margin.
The same will happen for any sale of players and where the FC Barcelona You will be able to reuse 50% of each player sale on a new registration and that will go up to 60% if the sold player has a salary worth at least 5% of the total squad value. The same for the unusual income as the friendly that the Barça club closes for the end of December.
