The Blaugrana club is not aware of this move by UEFA, which would also be evaluating sanctions. The investigation would affect the season in which he resigned Joseph Maria Bartomeu (October 2020), coinciding with the victory in the elections of John Laporta (March 2021), in which the club had losses of 481 million euros, affected by the impact of the pandemic.
The English rotator reveals that these punishments could be very soon. Even this month, something that the European body has not specified yet. Arsenal, Barça, Juventus, Inter and Roma are the clubs that could be sanctioned if the investigation progresses. Paris SG and Olympique de Marseille would also be affected, although in their case the punishment would only be of a financial nature.
Barça and Juventus lead together with Florentino Pérez’s Madrid in the creation of the European Super League, which is in clear financial and sporting conflict with UEFA. In addition, the body that presides Alexander Ceferin is finalizing the new financial fair play rules, which will come into force from the 2023-24 season, in which a method will be adopted in which clubs will have a capped percentage of spending on wages, signings and commissions representatives In 2023 this percentage will be 90%, while it will gradually decrease until it is 80% in 2024 and 70% in 2025.
