The team of Joan Laporta calculates that it will enter about 400 million gross for that concept. An amount more than enough to get rid of the shackles of the salary limit imposed by LaLiga de Javier Thebes and jump into the transfer market.
With this money, Joan Laporta estimates that the club will be able to spend some 200 million on contracts to rebuild a team that is in great need of structural reinforcements, both in defense, midfield and attack. In those 200 million fit the most powerful names that have sounded this summer, according to the calculations of the presidential team.
They should fit, if the negotiations with the clubs involved agree to a reasonable negotiation, Lewandowski, Raphinha, Koundé and even Bernardo Silvia. The Kessié, Christensen, Marcos Alonso and Azpilicueta are taken for granted.
Dembélé and Raphinha, compatible
In the case of Lewandowski, priority number 1, to which the first millions would be allocated, Barça has stood with an offer of 40 million. It is the amount that the Barcelona president promised to offer to the player and his representative. Now it is necessary for Bayern Munich to agree to the more than aired wishes of the Polish striker.
For Raphinha, a Brazilian winger for Leeds United, Barça has offered a maximum of 50 million. The English club has better offers, some of up to 75 million from Chelsea, but the Barça entity trusts the will of the footballer represented by Deco to play in the already renamed Spotify Camp Nou.
The club still believes that Dembélé will accept the lower offer he has made, 40% less salary, and will continue at the Camp Nou
As this newspaper has learned, the offer for Rapinha will continue even though Ousmane Dembélé, right now without a contract, finally decides to renew. Xavi Hernández considers that he needs both.
The ball is in the court Dembele, which has been offered a very low renewal, 40% less than what it received until now. The figure would match him in salary with Ansu Fati.
Dembélé wants to accept it but his representative yearns for an offer from the Premier that allows him to collect a commission. The panorama for the representative has changed radically after Mbappé stayed at PSG, the destination to which the French winger was heading. At the Barça club they now sense that Dembélé, whom they practically gave up on, will end up accepting the renewal proposal.
Bernardo Silva and Koundé, in the spotlight
Barça would go out on the market to spend a little more than the 100 that would remain after the hiring of Lewandowski and Raphinha to sign Sevilla’s central defender Koundé and even Bernardo Silva, from City, a wish that seemed impossible but to which Laporta and the sports management of Mateu Alemany and Jordi Cruyff have not resigned yet.

To achieve all of this, Barça must close the sale of 15% of the TV rights and the club would like to do so before the start of the US tour on July 16. Later those coveted pieces might get tired of waiting. But the club admits that it is a difficult deadline to meet due to the difficulties involved in overcoming all the phases of such a contract. The fastest way would be for Sixth Street to be the winner of the contest, since all the analysis of the club’s audits has been carried out.
The Barça presidency is not for the job, however, of selling the assets of BLM, the one that manages the ‘merchandising’ of the club. Nor is it part of the current plans to put Barça Studios up for sale. The bets are focused, therefore, on those 400 million TV rights and that would allow him to finally escape from the scheme of releasing triple the salary of the one he wants to incorporate. A hot July awaits in the Barcelona offices.
