Joan Laporta, president of Barcelona, was just as exuberant as always in his evaluation of La Liga's decision to lower their salary limit, and the Blaugrana victory in the courtroom with regard to the registration business Dani Olmo, claiming that they 'always have to fight against everyone and everything'. The core of the news this week depended on the refusal of Auditors Crowe with the € 100 million sale of the 475 VIP chairs lease for 30 years.
That decision meant that Barcelona had to submit their last bills to La Liga without the money from the deal, and La Liga who broadcast a statement and noted that the salary limit of Blaugrana had been lowered. Crowe decided that they could not include the sale in their audit, because it is currently not a product that exists. It takes Barcelona out of their salary limit again and sets significant spending restrictions on them on the transfer market.
Renovation work is underway on Camp Nou, and although it was predicted that they would be back this season, their return was pushed back to next season. MD, however, says that Barcelona intends to be back within their salary limit and with the VIP chairs of € 100 million in May.
Their plan is that Constructor Limak ends the work on the VIP chairs in May and to expand a certificate that ensures that the order of the VIP chairs has been delivered, which Barcelona could in turn be present to Crowe. That would enable Crowe to take up the sale in their audit and bring Barcelona back to their salary limit.
It certainly seems like a way to be the matter, but it is not clear whether Crowe will accept the certificate as proof of the existence of a delivered product. The VIP seats would not be operational until August this year if an active, at what point the tax year for Barcelona would have ended, and the income would be counted in the 2025-26 season instead of this one.
