La Liga promised to take care of Barcelona’s financial situation on one condition

With Barcelona’s financial crisis showing no end in sight, pressure is mounting on club president Joan Laporta to find solutions at the earliest possible, in time for the upcoming transfer window.

The club are mired in financial issues and have a negative salary margin as things stand. It was claimed that the problems could be resolved with the sale of a percentage of Barça Studios and Barça Licensing & Merchandise (BLM), but no progress has been made yet.

Another sure shot way for Barça to get out of the troubles would be to agree the CVC deal backed by La Liga.

Indeed, as reported by RAC1, La Liga president Javier Tebas promised Barcelona to help out with their salary cap issues and adjust it according to their needs if the club finalised the CVC agreement.

The report further adds that there had been advancement in negotiations over an agreement for the TV rights deal.

However, Tebas’ promise came with a condition that he wanted Barcelona to issue a statement distancing themselves from the controversial European Super League project.

Barça, along with Real Madrid and Juventus are the only clubs remaining associated with the much-derided Super League project. The three clubs are preparing to relaunch the competition with a modified format, despite how things went down last time out.

And Tebas, who has been critical of the project from the moment it was conceptualised, wants Barcelona to distance themselves from the Super League and finalise the CVC agreement, following which he would be willing to help the club with their salary cap problems.

Such a manoeuvre is unlikely to go down well with Barcelona. There has been some friction between Laporta and Tebas already and it will be interesting to see how the Catalan club’s president responds to this condition imposed by the La Liga supremo.
