FC Barcelona is in a catastrophic situation, with financial liabilities amounting to more than one billion euros, and a debt of 730 million euros to be repaid in the short term. Suffice to say: it should, a priori, not expect follies during the next transfer window, even if candidates for the presidency of the club have already indicated that the hypothesis of taking a new loan is on the table.
In addition, the club is somewhat paralyzed, waiting for the future president to be known, on March 7 if all goes as planned. Until then, it’s complicated for the interim management to make big decisions, even if the latter is still working on some rather secondary issues. According to the show Our d’Esport3, the Catalan public sports channel, the leaders have already made progress on a recruit.
A reference to his position for 15 million euros
This is José Luis Gaya (25), a player well known to La Liga fans since he has been a reference to this left-back position for several seasons. He even became the holder of La Roja with Luis Enrique. And according to the media, he is considered by the Barcelona staff as a serious competitor for Jordi Alba and an interesting player for the future. A fast side, particularly offensive and whose profile seems to stick wonderfully to what one can ask of a lane player at FC Barcelona.
Better still, it would be a great market opportunity since it would cost only 15 million euros + a few variables. In the grip of a real institutional and financial crisis, Valencia has already separated from many tauliers last summer and Gaya could therefore be next. A more than affordable price for a player of this quality, but which could still be quite high for Barça, who preferred to avoid putting 5 million euros on the table for Eric Garcia this winter. It remains to be seen how the club’s financial situation will be in six months …
