Barcelona cannot agree with La Liga on a new financial plan. As reported by Diario Sport, the leadership of the Catalan club has been unsuccessfully trying for several weeks to agree with the league representatives on the options for solving the issue of financial fair play.
The club's expenses greatly exceed the revenues, so several restrictions have been imposed on Barca. Barcelona must reduce costs by at least 200 million euros (some sources report 350 million). The club's leaders know that meeting these demands will be difficult, so they have started negotiations with La Liga, hoping to find a solution to the problem that will help the Blaugrana strengthen the squad.
Among the options that have been announced is a three-year cost reduction, but the parties have yet to reach an agreement. La Liga believes it will take much work for Barca to meet such demands.
League restrictions prevent the Catalans from signing the contracts of Gavi, Ronald Araujo, and Sergi Roberto. It can also control the implementation of summer transfers. The club intends to sign Lionel Messi, Ilkay Gundogan, and Inigo Martinez.
