The sweet dreams that the president of Barça,

Joan Laporta

, claimed to have about

Leo Messi

last Monday, in the presentation of the Brazilian

Emerson Royal

, are about to finally come true. In this case, thanks to a powerful economic injection from LaLiga. The agreement that the body chaired by

Javier Tebas

has closed

with the CVC investment fund, estimated at a total of

2,700 million euros

, will mean income of around

270 million euros

for the Barcelona entity, with which it will be able to register both the Argentine as his last four signings.


Everything is pending only that both the LaLiga Delegate Commission and the CVC Investment Committee ratify the agreement. Something that will take place, in principle, throughout this Wednesday. The agreement takes the form of a participating account. In other words, the fund invests and LaLiga, after managing that investment, sends it its corresponding remuneration. Neither is any of your rights sold or transferred. 15% of the 2,700 million to be received, as soon as everything is definitively closed, can be invested in the templates. The rest, meanwhile, should be allocated to facility improvements.


For the distribution of the funds, meanwhile, the income from television rights received over the last seven years will be taken into account. According to these calculations, Barça would enter 270 million euros, while

Real Madrid

, for its part, would receive

261 million

that could, in both cases, be allocated to its squads. In the Barça case, to register both Messi and the four signings closed this summer,

Kun Agüero

,

Eric García

,

Memphis Depay

and Emerson Royal. In Madrid, while, to face, perhaps, the much desired arrival at the club of

Kylian Mbappé

.

This economic injection, in addition, will allow other clubs that are in trouble with the salary limits also have greater slack.
