Barca officials revealed that on February 1, the results of the investigation into management irregularities in the Bartomeu era will be announced. Such an operation will undoubtedly make red and blue fans excited and excited, because Bartomeu really pit Barca too badly. Under his profligacy, Barca's finances became fragile, which made the team's finances completely bottom after suffering the blow of the epidemic. As a result, the salary cap has been significantly reduced, from more than 600 million euros in the peak period, falling again and again, and this season it is as low as 98 million euros. This salary cap amount, in contrast to Messi's previous annual salary of more than 50 million euros, can know how difficult Barca will be.
Because of this, a large number of top-paid players such as Messi, Griezmann and Coutinho have been sent away with their teeth. In the campaign, Laporta, who promised to keep Messi, suffered a lot of doubts and criticisms, but from the painstaking efforts to barely free up salary space to register Felan Torres, it can be seen that even if Laporta is determined to keep Messi, she will be powerless. However, the shortfall in the salary space will only be temporary, because into the next season, Barca's salary cap problem will be able to be greatly improved.
According to the foreign media "Goal Network", starting next season, Barca's salary cap will increase from 98 million euros, soaring 3 times to 400 million euros. Although this amount is still a certain gap from the previous salary cap of more than 600 million, considering that the top salary players such as Messi and Griezmann have been sent away, and the high-paid and low-energy players such as Umtiti have also been significantly reduced, the salary space will become very generous. As a result, after the end of the season, it will not be difficult to sign some players like Casey and Azpilicueta, whose contracts expire and do not require transfer fees. This also means that Laporta will most likely show his fists and feet in the transfer window this summer and make a large number of reinforcements.
According to western media TV3, Barca are setting a transfer target for next season, and 6 players have entered the reinforcement range, namely Haaland, Casey, Zakaria, and defenderSpilicueta, Gaya and Jules. If these players can be included in the account, then next season's Barca is undoubtedly worth looking forward to, but to bring in these players, it is obviously not enough to solve the salary cap problem, Laporta and Xavi will have to solve another problem. The former is to solve the problem of transfer funds, while the latter must work harder on the league record, otherwise if it does not qualify for the Champions League next season, the attractiveness of players such as Haaland and Casey will be greatly reduced.
