The details of Barcelona's infinite mortgage

• Barcelona Laporta: "All signings can be registered"

Necessity dictates.

Joan Laporta's board has already ordered the

of the fourth economic lever in search of cleaning up his accounts and achieving the financial

necessary to register all the players in the Barça first team squad.

Beginning, of course, with the signings, with

at the head of a list that also includes Franck Kessié, Andreas Christensen, Raphinha and Jules Koundé and continuing with the re-

Ousmane Dembélé and the renewed Sergi Roberto.

This new lever, however, enlarges a mortgage that seems to have no end.

The sale of 25% of Barça Studios to GDA Luma, a company that belongs to Gabriel de Alma, owner of Cirque du Soleil, as happened with the sale of 24.5% to Socios.com, is, in principle, in perpetuity, although the entity has a repurchase option.

Throughout this summer, between the transfer for 25 years of 25% of the television rights to the Sixth Street fund and the final sale of 49.5% of Barça Studios, the Barça entity would have managed to add real income of about

However, this amount would still not be enough to completely ensure the registration of all the players that

From his point of view, the four operations would mean an extra cost of 311 million euros for the club.

Piqué, for now, has listened to the club's arguments and has agreed to downgrade him.

In the case of the goalkeeper, the predisposition seems to be good.

Something that, however, would not be in the same way as far as the midfielder is concerned.

The Dutchman, in fact, has been in the orbit of Manchester United and Chelsea but, for now, he rules out leaving the Camp Nou as well as retouching his contract.

Pjanic's step forward

The sale of De Jong would also greatly alleviate the club's coffers, both for the income that his transfer would entail and for the savings of his file.

Joan Laporta, however, already stressed in the run-up to the Gamper that there is no intention of selling it.

Xavi has liked what he has seen of him in the preseason and is more than willing to give him a chance, while the Bosnian, for his part, has also agreed to lower his record.
