FC Barcelona have emerged as the La Liga Champions this season, after a season filled with grit, commitment, and suffering. However, unlike the fans, the club executives cannot truly embark on long celebrations for this title, as they have immensely important work to complete in the coming months.
As previously reported, FC Barcelona have presented La Liga with a feasibility program, which outlined their plans and calculations to bring Messi back to Barcelona and undertake other operations while remaining within the financial fair play limits.
As the decisive summer transfer window now approaches, the club will have to ensure that it conforms to this plan to every inch in order to successfully undertake all its planned operations.
In order to stay committed to this plan, FC Barcelona will have to be ruthless and take a business-first approach in all their dealings, and players associated with the club will have to be told that no favors can be made at this point in time, as the club’s long term interests are at stake.
According to SPORT, the club has already prepared a list of players that they will allow to leave without much hassle. These players include Ferran Torres, Jordi Alba, Ansu Fati, and Franck Kessie. The club will have to actively push these players to other clubs, in order to generate some much-needed cash, and free up their wage bill, which consequently will enable the club to progress further with their feasibility plan.
Completing these sales would require complete commitment and attention from all the key players involved, from President Joan Laporta to the Director of Football Mateu Alemany, Jordi Cruyff, and Xavi himself. They will have to work extremely hard and give their all in order to make the sales required in this window, and sign their targeted players.
