LaLiga president Javier Tebas says Barcelona must accept some “hurt” if they’re to buy this summer market.
Barca are still battling to find a way to settle their Financial Fair Play issues with the LaLiga.
“I do not know the viability plan. I cannot predict anything. It will depend on what they save on wages,” said Tebas.
“The future of Barcelona won’t depend on the departure of just one player. It will depend on all of the comings and goings of players. It’s the start of a journey, but to get to the end they still have a few metres to go.
“I haven’t given any green light,” he continued, “I am aware that they are talking and explaining things. It is a club with a budget of over €800 million and they also have some very high expenses. There are many nuances to talk about. No green light has been given and there are still things to do.”
In terms of the departures, Tebas said he, “did not know what exits there will be” and that he didn’t know “if they will be painful or not. I imagine that everything [Barcelona] do will hurt. Not renovating Busquets will have hurt, but there will be other things that will make them happy.”
Tebas also briefly mentioned the Negreira case, but only to shut down any possible questions regarding the matter: “It’s something that UEFA are dealing with and it’s down to them.”
