Barcelona is immersed in an economic problem. The Catalan club needs to get a salary cut of 190 million euros before next week or face the possibility of going bankrupt.
The talks between the Barcelona lawyers and the players held on Friday is the first step to achieve this.
These negotiations were initially rejected by the players of the first team and team B, which complicates things a bit. The club must agree to a 30 percent payroll cut before November 5, otherwise Barcelona could go into insolvency in January.
Carles Tusquets, president of the board of directors who is currently in charge of the club after the resignation of former club president Josep Maria Bartomeu and his board of directors, warned of the club’s situation, especially economically, during his appearance before the press on Thursday .
“Our main concern is financial,” Tusquets said. “The pandemic is especially affecting Barcelona.
“The club depends on tourism and now there is none. We have to take up the ideas of the previous board to remedy the evils that are affecting us.”
One of the most worrying situations in Barcelona is the future of Lionel Messi, with the Argentine’s contract expiring next summer. Even if Messi does not renew with the Blaugrana, the club would still have to pay him a bonus at the end of the season.
Electoral situation
While waiting for the board of directors to call elections, six people have already announced their intention to run for president: Pere Riera, Víctor Font, Toni Freixa, Agusti Benedito, Jordi Farre and Lluis Fernandez.
There are others who intend to do it shortly: Joan Laporta, Xavier Vilajoana and Emili Rousaud.
These elections will not be imminent and everything indicates that they will take place in 2021.
