Barcelona have sent their feasibility plan to La Liga, expect decision in early May

According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona have finally sent their feasibility plan to La Liga authorities, after months of economic planning.

Earlier in the year, La Liga had made it clear that Barça must reduce €200 million from the salary mass in order to comply with the Financial Fair Play regulations and to be able to sign new players in the market.

Following that, the club’s hierarchy including the likes of Joan Laporta, Jordi Cruyff and Mateu Alemany have come up with a comprehensive ‘feasibility plan’ that states how Barcelona plan to not only generate income but also increase revenue.

It appears Barcelona are hoping to generate a chunk of the income through player sales, with the likes of Ferran Torres and Ansu Fati in contention to depart. Unwanted players such as Clement Lenglet, Samuel Umtiti and Sergino Dest will be facing the axe as well.

Through the sale of players, Barça hope to generate around €100 million. They are also looking to reduce the salaries of first-team players and have recently proposed to Sergio Busquets a salary cut of almost 70%.

The plan has been sent to La Liga officials and the club hope to have an answer from the authorities in early May, once all the economic and budget experts of La Liga sit down and examine the plan carefully.

Once the plan gets the green light, Barcelona will be able to carry forward with their operations in the transfer market, which could include the pursuit of Lionel Messi.

Barcelona are targeting other players as well, including Vitor Roque of Athletico Paranaense, Inigo Martinez of Athletic Club and Manchester City captain Ilkay Gundogan, who has recently broken his silence on his future.
