La Liga president Javier Tebas answered questions about the Haaland-Barcelona deal. Analysis.
Asked at the 4th Sports Values Gala about Operation Haaland at FC Barcelona , the president of the Liga Javier Tebas replied: “Laporta knows what to do and that the situation is complicated. I have already given him my recommendations. He knows that he has a lot of work ahead of him and that there must be departures and also arrivals. It's not easy for FC Barcelona. The problem is that FC Barcelona's payroll is far too high, mainly due to losses from the previous year – 487 million euros. This penalizes him a lot with regard to the payroll because, in this situation, he must work according to the rule of 1/4. Barca need to break out of the 1/4 rule to complete a signing as important as Halaland's. We all know what he's asking for in salary and what Borussia Dortmund are asking for. It is not in the possibilities of FC Barcelona with the rule of 1/4. “
Clear confirmation
Quite officially, the president of the Liga confirms what le10sport.com had analyzed for several weeks, namely that FC Barcelona had absolutely no way of financing the Haaland deal, a fortiori given the regulatory constraints linked to its financial situation. Under these conditions, all the movements of the Blaugrana management around the Norwegian striker are above all akin to communication aimed at maintaining the status of the Catalan club.
