Barcelona’s management is currently facing a single crisis that is hindering the finalization of the deal for goalkeeper Joan Garcia.
The Catalan club has reached an agreement with Garcia on all the details, and the player is currently just waiting for the activation of the €25 million release clause in his contract with Espanyol.
According to Marca, Barcelona is facing difficulty in covering the full value of the release clause due to a lack of sufficient funds in the club’s coffers.
Espanyol categorically refuses to negotiate with Barcelona regarding payment in installments, even though it is open to doing so with other clubs. However, the Catalan rivals are not open to discussion.
According to Marca, Barcelona is currently looking for a way to finance the deal and is not ruling out resorting to a bank loan to pay the release clause and complete the process quickly.
Although it may seem scary at first glance, in reality, such things happen frequently, and the loan can be easily repaid by selling the players and settling the financial fair play issues.
