This devaluation, including the 381 million loss that the assembly approved in the autumn, will have a positive effect on the 21/22 financial year if Coutinho resigns and returns to what amazed everyone at Liverpool. For the time being, however, the voluntary reduction in the value of the Brazilian has no effect in relation to obtaining a salary margin to be able to enroll Ferran Torres in the League, a goal that Joan Laporta and Mateu Alemany have not yet been able to achieve despite self-imposition. if he deadline to do so before this Sunday.
As Barça’s savings with the midfielder eminently affect half of their salary this year and not the amortization, the figure generated is not enough fair play to register Torres’ card, which does have 5.5 million amortization (10% of what it cost) in addition to his salary. And that, according to Barça sources in ARA, the League has given the green light to consider that the transfer (and not transfer) of Coutinho enters the 1 by 2 rule, which applies to clubs exceeded in salary cap – like Barça — so that they can sign up for half of what they release in relation to the main salaries of the staff.
Not even with the push of the League have the numbers come out. For this reason, just three days before the classic Super Cup, an event marked for the debut of Ferran Torres, Barça’s sports management is exploring alternative ways to make room for the payroll. The problem is that none of the short-term options fall into the 1-on-2 rule. a Bundesliga team, will be such a small saving that would not serve to complete the departure of Coutinho.
The covid of Ferran Torres, a factor to gain time
Therefore, more gestures would be needed to register Torres and, for now, in the Camp Nou offices there is no feeling that anything can be accelerated in a few hours. In this line, Neto’s environment gives ARA peace of mind about his future at the club. Nor does Luuk de Jong, who was urged to leave for Cadiz a few weeks ago, look set to move in the next few days. In addition, the casualties have installed it at eleven. And as for Sergiño Dest, who could generate income in the form of a transfer, there is no offer with face and eyes. Even more remote is that a club is seriously interested in Samuel Umtiti.
In statements made to Nuevo Los Cármenes in Granada, Alemany and Vice President Rafa Yuste spoke of “more exits” to achieve enough salary margin to enroll Torres. Xavi had also indicated this in the pre-match press conference. But this is not the only way. Also closing renovations could be done fair play. Dembélé’s, which would be used to space the pending amortization and reduce some concepts in the file, is still frozen and waiting for the French agent to show up. And also that of Sergi Roberto, although sources from the Reus environment point out to ARA that there is not even a proposal to resume negotiations that was stopped a few months ago, when everything was ready for signing. of a new contract down until 2024.
The registration of Ferran Torres has become another series in the first months of Laporta’s term. And, in fact, if the Valencian winger continues to test positive for covid and is left without a trip to Saudi Arabia, they would breathe a sigh of relief at Barça’s offices, because they would gain time to find the formula to register him in the League. Meanwhile, Xavi Hernández will regret another week of precariousness, this time with important titles at stake.
