The closing of the market estival of the FC Barcelona can be chaotic and dramatic, since the financial problems and the delay in sales and payments have complicated several operations in the straight final of the window of passes. One of the escollos with that has found the managerial blaugrana has been the delay in the credit of 20 million euros by part of the bottom German investor Free, corresponding to the 16 % of Barça Studios closed does a pair of weeks.

In principle, the club expects to have the money in his arks, to more take, the Thursday. However, in case that the credit do not concretise , Joan Laporta contemplates to activate a new 'crowbar' of emergency that allow to the Barça resolve the pending registrations and the cession of Joao Cancel, which is closed from the past week. The directive sondeó the sale of more active to another American bottom, but the newspaper 'SPORT' ensures that the solution will be a personal guarantee issued by the president.

Depending of the entry or no of the money of Free Football, Laporta has to decide by how much will be the guarantee presented in front of LaLiga. If the Germans pay to time, the president will have to resolve the entry of some 8-10 'kilos' not to happen difficulties on 1 September. In contrary case, the guarantee will have to cover the 30M that, in principle, needs the club to close the pending operations, between them the registration of Iñigo Martínez and the new agreements of Alejandro Balde and Marcos Alonso.

In front of the complexity of the case, the guarantee no only will be to name of Joan Laporta, but also of Ferran Olivé (treasurer of the club). In fact, no descarta include to other directors of the Barça if the mount is higher of the presupuestado. The past year, Laporta activated this mechanism to credit the 11 million euros that did fault to inscribe to Jules Koundé in LaLiga.

The another alternative that the Barça has on the table to clear his closing of market is to concretise an immediate sale by a mount considerable. The club works to clear the exit of Clément Lenglet, an operation that, although it will not leave money in box, will allow to free mass salarial after ridding of the index card of the central. Besides, there are possibilities to add millions with the traspaso of Ez Abde and, maybe, of Ansu Fati.
