This morning, Real Madrid defeated Atalanta to win the European Super Cup. As Real Madrid’s rivals, Barcelona once again felt that there is a long way to go. Spanish media Relevo reported that although the new La Liga season is about to begin, Barcelona still has a series of problems to solve.
First, it is necessary to respond to La Liga’s financial fair play review and complete the registration of new signings. Barcelona still has no salary space, and to complete the registration of all the players in Flick’s plan, the team’s manager and management department still need to work hard.
The sponsorship contract between Barcelona and Nike has not yet been announced. The renewal negotiations have been going on for months, but there are still some issues to be resolved. If the two sides reach an agreement, it will likely become a key to unlocking Barcelona’s current financial problems, as it will significantly increase the team’s income and thus increase salary space.
Barcelona has transferred young player Julian Araujo to Bournemouth for 10 million euros, which is good news. The Mexican player was only worth 4 million euros when he played for Las Palmas last season, and now he has appreciated in value. The funds he brings back from the transfer will help Barcelona complete player registration, and some players are still anxiously waiting for this. But obviously, this transfer out is not enough. Barcelona also needs to promote other transfers, such as Lenglet, Vito Roque, and even Raphinha.
Some players at Barcelona have not yet completed registration. For example, although Olmo has signed, it is unclear whether he will be able to complete registration before the first round of La Liga. Vito Roque is also waiting, and so are Inigo, Pablo Torre, and others. In particular, Roque’s situation is different. The Brazilian is not in Flick’s plan, and the management is looking for solutions. Deco’s job is not easy. If he is sold, Barcelona hopes to get at least the money they paid for him, 30 million euros plus subsequent floating amounts.
In addition to the above problems, Barcelona is also considering signing more players. After almost excluding Nico Williams, Barcelona is still considering signing a left-winger. Of course, the possibility of signing a central midfielder cannot be ruled out, although Flick has just said that he has a solution, but at this point in time in mid-August, things could change at any time. In conclusion, La Liga is about to start, but Barcelona’s task is not easy.
