the debt that is choking Laporta, another player to sign the goal, and be careful with Thomas Partey and Jonathan David | Relief
While the league figures, including the defeat in Pamplona, far exceeds the best expectationsthe team’s classification does not correspond to the results of the financial year, which, although assessed positively by the board of directors (“we did well”), were questioned from the very beginning by opposition groups. The critics’ position is unanimous. 12 million allocated as regular benefits were destroyed from the first moment by some Losses in the amount of 91 million were recognized.. And what made it worse was that auditor Grant Thornton’s findings came out, highlighting a very remarkable caveat. The first in the last 14 years regarding Barça Vision and in the one that recommends devaluing the 51% that still belongs to the club. Experts, having studied it, calculated that The budget for the year was redirected to 140 million. So what FCB debt approaches $2.6 billion with some short term maturities not available.
The fact is that during this week without football, no one wanted to speak openly about this, because some, the Board, and others, the opposition, They prepare in prudent silence for the Assembly on the 19th. with two goals that, as we can already guarantee today, are radically opposed. The Council is awaiting approval of the bills at the telematics Assembly, which is being questioned after a call from the opposing party, which argued in favor of the personal option and which is now seeking to overturn the official figures and force a restatement of the bills. In this regard, it should be noted that Victor Font, Joan Camrubi Montal and Marc Siria, prominent leaders of opposition groups, are working together (they have met several times to develop a common strategy) with the goal is to identify delegates and explain to them the numbers they believe are real and finally, to ensure that on the 19th, the day before the match with Sevilla in Montjuïc, the balance sheet submitted by the club was not approved.
Before, of course, the silence passes. They will move. The above-mentioned partners will come forward to educate the public about what their vision of reality is. Font, leader of the Yes to the Future movement, will give a press conference next week which is considered the strongest since its appearance in the Barcelona environment. Ciria is already making one tournament in different places in Catalonia, providing a comprehensive analysis, and Camrubi, in the official presentation of his alternative to the presidency, will visit the Barcelona Fair on the 17th to announce the goals ‘Catfish and Clam’ and offer a show of force, receiving more than 2,000 invitations. To understand each other that if everything goes according to plan, There will be five, six, seven and eight times as many people at this event as will be able to come to the auditorium and attend in person.. And there will be very few people there. Still. The Council is a representation of senators (the group to which the education’s 1,000 oldest members belong), past presidents and commission chairs with more than five years of experience as members. To this, naturally, we will have to add those who participate electronically, but in any case, the amount will, again, as always, be insignificant for the scale of the issue.
Busy days are coming, very busy. So this week we are not talking about what happened in the last seven days, but what will happen in the next fifteen days. And it’s not like this week was informatively white. No, but those who for years have cared more about the club than the team see this move to the Assembly as the perfect moment to make the social masses understand that having a team at the top of the classification is incompatible. and at the same moment the club becomes worse and worse. And judging by their words, there are many partners who are buying this idea.. That one does not exclude the other and that The point is to revive the enterprise economically as quickly as possible, understandingYes, this will not be possible at the speed that the team, convincingly led by Hansi Flick, has done and which, coincidentally, coinciding with the Assembly, will begin to restore key fragments.
Gavi may be back soon
Ferminwhich, as we have already said, is ready to extend and improve its contract, will be ready by that day. And Gavi is so, so good that the other day he became the best in a 45-minute match. played at Ciutat Esportiva and I might have a few minutes on Sunday the 18th. start your permanent entry in the call list. The same goes for Dani Olmoa key part of the future that will be available on the same day and which He is considered the starter in the next two matches. and transcendental, which are emphasized in the calendar. In the Champions League against Bayern Munich at home and in the League against Madrid at the Bernabeu.
De Jong’s future
Regarding De JongDutchman, after five months of absence, He responded well to the two games he took part in.. Better than even he himself expected. Frankie explained that on the second day of the game against Alaves he felt better than after his return against Young Boys. He is animated and with an extension offer on the table.. It ends in 2026 and Barcelona want to adapt his situation by paying him less and extending his deal. With the same strict clause as the one signed when checking the accounts: If you do not agree to the extension, the next season will be postponed.. A campaign that will have great news, starting with the goal, because Szczesny’s contract expires in 2025 and the technical experts’ trust in Iñaki Peña is not enough to count on him even as a replacement. Something that will be confirmed immediately because As soon as the Polish goalkeeper is ready to play, Flick intends to release him in the starting lineup.. And you will see something.
Do you know what?
Deco and winter market
Taking advantage of the fact that the championship was stopped again due to the demands of the national teams, Deco went to Brazil, where he has a family and a rich market to which he must pay attention. Also, of course, the European team, where the winter window will soon open, and no matter how well the team performs, we must be alert to the opportunities that may arise. Given the economic conditions of the club and the unattainable 1.1 level, which is so limited, we are talking about a very small catalogue. Players whose contract expires in 2025 and are therefore free agents on January 1 can negotiate with whomever they want. There are two names to take into account, meaning it doesn’t mean they will be signed, but it does mean they are in the sights of Blaugrana observers. One: Thomas Partey (31). He plays for Arsenal, he played for Atlético Madrid and Deco approached him at one time, but Arteta did not allow him to leave London. Not renewed yet. International midfielder for Ghana and extensive experience in the Spanish league. Two: Jonathan David (24). Born in New York with a Canadian passport. Forward of the French Lille. This year he played 13 games, scoring 9 goals and 2 assists. Ambidextrous. He will take control of his future in January and has already told his club that he does not wish to renew his contract. And one more thing. It will be decided in January or June whether another goalkeeper will be signed, following Szczesny, who only signed a contract until June 2025, or not. Deco and Flick agree on this. The injured party is Iñaki Peña.
From Chica and Pep Guardiola
Nobody knows more about this City than Lou Martin. With permission, we will invade your garden to address Txiki Begiristain and Pep Guardiola. It is already known that the technical director will not remain in his position. Actually, this became known only now. However, those closest to him have known about this decision for months, and for him there is no greater problem than the saturation and satisfaction of a job well done, first at Barcelona and then at City. Basque returns home. Donosti and Premium are waiting for you. As far as we know, this is not a final departure, but a return to calm. As for Guardiola, nothing is known yet. Pep always does the same thing. He doesn’t talk about an extension until he suddenly makes up his mind and after a couple of days he signs a new contract or leaves. The coach always said that Chicky, from a football point of view, was the most important person in his life. Let’s see what he will do without it. There are puddles and there is also a feeling that he finds incentive precisely at the exit from Begiristain. New challenge. And, of course, the opposite can happen. Now, if I had to place a bet, I would say that Guardiola will continue to play at City. It’s just a feeling. We will know the truth when Luis Martín in Relevo reveals to us the decision about who is without a doubt the best coach of all the coaches who have played football.
Iniesta, open doors
Before returning to Dubai, Andres Iniesta was already there, went to the Ciutat Esportiva and was able to see the love and respect that everyone at FC Barcelona showed him. Footballers, employees and managers. As they left, the No. 8 announced that he plans to take a coaching course to stay involved with football, and although his return to the club is just an illusion, he already knows that Barcelona has opened doors for him, where he can enter whenever he wants . Of course it can’t be soon. To be precise and without going into details, this will happen no earlier than in two years. He will live in Dubai for two years with his wife and five children. By the way, his father still has not overcome his fear of flying, which is why he was unable to visit him in Japan when he played for Vissel Kobe, and also cannot travel to the Emirates. For this reason, family meetings are always held in Barcelona or Fuentealbilla. And one more thing: FC Barcelona would like the unparalleled farewell ceremony for the footballer to take place on the club’s premises, for example at the Auditori, but at the same time, it is clear that Iniesta, for reasons related to his capabilities and, especially , thanks to his professional business, decided to choose the American’s Club Experience building.
