La Liga has announced that the last accounts submitted by Barcelona did not include a sale of 100 million euros linked to the rental of 475 VIP places at Camp Nou renovated for a period of 30 years.
The agreement was initially to allow the registration of Dani Olmo and Pau Victor, but doubts were issued as to its integrity. Investors Forta Advisors and New Era Visionary Group have already paid 57 million euros from this sum, but the Liga decided not to include it in the calculation of the salary ceiling of FC Barcelona.
LAPORTA has a work on the board at Barça
The transition from Grant Thornton to Crowe as a listener led to the exclusion of a sale of VIP places of 100 million euros from his accounts, thus reducing his salary ceiling. La Liga has informed the High Sports Committee (CSD), which must rule on the registration of Olmo and Victor. If the CSD decides against Barcelona, the two players could be absent for the rest of the season. This hard financial blow also obstructs the club's summer transfer plans and could complicate the current legal proceedings. The club is preparing a call, which accentuates the pressure on President Joan Laporta.
The president of Barça also told journalists, in access to anger: ” We will respond to La Liga. They want to attack our interests. La Liga approved the recruitments of Pau Victor and Olmo, and now they have changed their minds. For what ? Did they act badly by approving operations? We play a key match tonight and La Liga communicates this morning. Odd ! They cannot fight us on the ground, so they act outside. ”
After facing Atlético Madrid in the semi-final return of the king's cup on Wednesday evening, and having won 1-0, the Catalans will find the Liga this weekend, where they will face a Real Betis team in great shape on Saturday, April 5.
