What happens if the league gets its way? Does Barca get to deregister someone else and register Gavi, or is the kid SOOL?

Gavi has a €1000m release clause. If he wasn't registered by midnight tonight, however, that goes down to €0 and he can leave on a free in the summer. I have no idea if his clause reverts back to €0 or not if La Liga wins. He can play either way since he's a youth player.

Yep. Release clauses are mandatory in Spain so they often set them to stupid numbers if they have no intentions of ever selling.

Ah, that makes it understandable. It doesn't make sense, but it makes it understandable.

Also they set neymars stupid high because they thought there was no way anyone would pay it and then hey became a qatar world cup ambassador with a fee that coincidentally matched it so i guess they've gone for a billion from now on.

Being cautious, that's all. Madrid and Barça boys have been accusing each other of bribing referees and corruption since time immemorial, so I don't bat an eye at this kind of crap anymore. If this one actually sticks, please wake me up.

It probably won't "stick" because La Liga has no interest in killing Barcelona as much as we all might laugh but we currently have on record a ref admitting to being paid for giving 'advice' to a club while he was a referee in the league that club played in We already know something improper has happened

More clubs should pay refs for advice on how to not get sent off, valid expense no investigation needed

Basically 500k a year to buy the vice president of the referees association seems incredibly cheap by football bribe standards

Have they offered any explanation on what the payments could possibly have been for?

An "advisory role" in which they were given "technical reports" on refereeing is the cover story and if you think that's ridiculous, well, you're just another Barca hater

They will probably be sentenced to 100 years in jail only for it to be reduced to a week of community service like all other La Liga related crimes.

Paying the nation's top referee millions of euros to write us a report explaining what a yellow card is.

Wake me up when something tangible happens, like UEFA banning them from european competitions for a period of time. It wouldn't matter too much either way because they would get hosed in the groups stage again.

This is probably really important because during the pep years especially they only ever happened to the other team and it would probably be mystifying to a recent la Masia graduate what the reg was doing.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/tomsan...sh=3ab543a9797d have no fear, THE SUPER LEVER is ready FC Barcelona can raise €250 million ($265 million) to alleviate their financial woes and make new signings this summer if they activate a 'super' economic lever currently being prepared, reports say. President Joan Laporta famously coined the term 'economic lever' ahead of last season, when he pulled off operations such as selling future percentages of television rights income to investment firms including Sixth Street. This helped Barca spend €158 million ($167 million) on fresh acquisitions such as Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha and Jules Kounde, who have had much to do with Barca being on the cusp of their first La Liga title in four years while leading bitter rivals Real Madrid by nine points at the summit. Approaching 2023/2024, though, the Spanish top flight's president Javier Tebas has warned Barca that they must shave €200 million ($211.5 million) from the wage bill. But according to AS, the Catalans can tick this box off by selling 49% of Barca Licensing & Merchandising (BLM). A potential sale of this ilk was reported on last summer, when a consortium headed by Fanatics and Investindustrial was said to be on the verge of buying the stake for €200 million ($211.5 million).

I don’t follow this much but why don’t they just not buy really expensive players for a year or two and get their poo poo in order? Is no one really willing to have a few mediocre years for the long term health of the club? Is it that simple?

My understanding is that the socios system ends up prioritizing short-term gains and flaunting of status because Barca fans are incredibly fragile. Any stumble or sign of weakness is liable to get a club president railroaded out.

It is in fact that simple, because then some businessman with a wide smile says "I'm gonna spend a billion Euros to clone Messi, and I know how to do it within FFP rules" wins the next presidential election, and all of these prudent people are out of a job.

That would be the case if they were actually interested in the long term health of the club instead of their own personal glory.
