Transfers: The contracts of Barça recruits still not approved on the eve of the resumption of La Liga 2022-23

Which team will field Xavi on Saturday against Rayo Vallecano? On the eve of the first day of La Liga, Barça is not sure of being able to approve the contracts of its recruits (Lewandowski, Koundé, Raphinha, Kessié, Christensen) but also ofOusmane Dembele and Sergi Roberto, who extended into the heart of summer. Sports world reveals that Joan Laporta and his vice-president, Rafa Yuste, were in the Barca offices late on Thursday evening to try to find a solution. But without success so far.

In order to satisfy the authorities of La Liga, who decided on the non-approval of new contracts last week due to financial reasons, the Blaugrana’s management failed to finalize the sale of the remaining 24.5% of Barça Studio to the company GDA Luma, which would allow him to recover 100 million euros. However, sources close to the club told the Catalan press that this lever corresponded to “90% of the sumto get the green light from the Spanish League.

At the same time, FC Barcelona is trying to activate other levers. If Gerard Pique’s pay cut, ready to play for free for his training clubis on the right track, the negotiations are blocked with Sergio Busquets, who wishes to leave free in June 2023. In addition, the Blaugrana continue to be active in selling Frenkie de Jong, Memphis Depay, Martin Braithwaite and Samuel Umtiti without having succeeded to find them a way out.

A dream team: with Bernardo, would Barça have the best squad in Spain?

After showing muscle in the eyes of European football by achieving one of its best transfer windows in long seasons, Barça’s plans could fall through for the first match of the La Liga season against Rayo Vallecano. Worse, ESPN revealed on Wednesday that Franck Kessié and Andreas Christensenwho arrived free from AC Milan and Chelsea, could leave free next week if the situation persists.

But the management of the Blaugrana is convinced that it can achieve its ends. Last year, the Catalan club validated the contracts of their recruits Memphis Depay and Eric Garcia a few hours before the opening of the season against Real Sociedad (4-2).
