Barcelona given deadline to submit ‘Treasury Plan’ to La Liga; hopes of reaching 1:1 rule slim

On April 30, Barcelona will send their treasury plan to La Liga in order to know their margins for the summer transfer window, reports Ramon Fuentes via Mundo Deportivo.

The next seven days are going to be crucial for Barcelona as this will shape their future trajectory. 

This countdown follows La Liga’s decision last February to set the club’s squad cost limit at €204 million. This figure represents a reduction of €66 million from the previous cap of €270 million set in September and over €400 million compared to a year earlier.

Barcelona must pay off the debt

Besides the Treasury Plan setting Barcelona’s strategy for the summer, it is also essential for the club to settle its outstanding debt to LaLiga. 

This debt stems from the sale of 49% of Barça Studios to Orpheus Media and Socios.com in the summer of 2022. LaLiga calculated the Salary Limit of this sale in accordance with regulations and the payment plan.

The first payment of €20 million was made at the time of signing in summer 2022. However, the second payment of €60 million due in June 2023 was not paid in full; Barcelona only paid €20…
