The sale of television rights and the possible departure of Frenkie de Jong would suit Barça on the transfer market
Barcelona has embarked on a path of reconstruction that would have been impossible had it not activated the economic levers approved at the Extraordinary Assembly last June. The culés closed the course with a negative balance of 161 million euros, a figure that could not be negated by the sale of football players and whose only solution from the start was to take more drastic measures. “We are working to execute the lever on television rights. We will do two or three surgeries to have our equity positive and this will allow us to repay the debt in a reasonable way and build a competitive team,” said Joan Laporta that day. gain strength as the culé club strengthened Xavi’s team.
And it is that since the end of the season Barça has not stopped moving. The entity chaired by Joan Laporta sold 10% of its television rights for the next 25 years to Sixth Street for 207.5 million, an operation that allowed it to close the year on a positive note before the end of June and enter the television market fully signings. Already there he closed the free entry of Christensen and Kessié, agreed to the continuity of Ousmane Dembélé and has dazzled the acquisitions of Raphinha and Lewandowski, which could mean, including variables, a total of 117 million euros.
This payout is possible in the midst of the economic crisis that the entity is going through thanks to that first lever, also thanks to a second in which the club works, which could report more than 300 million euros for the sale of the remaining 15% of the television rights and finally due to a decline in wage bills. This last part is the one that still worries the culé entity.
Barça are planning to release several players that Xavi does not have such as Riqui Puig, Umtiti, Braithwaite, Mingueza or Neto and one of the players with a higher salary such as Frenkie de Jong. The Dutchman’s departure is capital to register the new signings and Barca already have an agreement with Manchester United for 75 million and ten more in variables. Only the yes of a player who seems unwilling to leave the culé team to meet all accounts would be missing.
