Laporta makes a big move! Barcelona will earn 8 million from a business show! Flick can only cooperate

La Liga Barcelona, ​​this century-old giant, is no longer the Cosmos team with huge financial resources, but a "poor" giant. Under the background of heavy financial pressure, Chairman Laporta is not only worried about the team's performance, but also thinking about "making money" for the club every day. This is the current situation of the Red and Blue Legion. In order to relieve the team's financial pressure, this time Barcelona even brought the idea of ​​​​making money to South America.

The latest news from "World Sports News" is that Barcelona plans to fly to Peru before Christmas to conduct a commercial exhibition match with an appearance fee of 7 million to 8 million euros. This money is simply a timely help for Barcelona.

Originally, La Liga had a plan for the major giants to "go global": the 17th round of Villarreal's match against Barcelona was originally scheduled to be held in Miami. This overseas game will not only expand La Liga's influence in the American market, but also bring Barcelona a share of approximately 6 million euros. However, plans cannot keep up with changes. Due to strong opposition from some clubs, the players' union and the Spanish Football Federation, the overseas games were eventually cancelled. This caused Barcelona to lose 6 million euros in income.

How could Laporta give up? Yu said he looked for another way and started a new round of "money trapping model" for Barcelona. According to Mundo Deportivo, Peru sent Barcelona an "unrefusely generous offer": a formal invitation to Barcelona to play a commercial match in December, with an appearance fee of between 7 and 8 million euros. Laporta was so happy that he immediately convened a small meeting with the team's senior management to finalize this major matter as soon as possible.

The attendees included the four captains: Ter Stegen, Araujo, De Jong and Rafinha. Of course, coach Flick and sports director Deco must also be included. At the meeting, Laporta made it clear: "This game has a positive effect on the club's finances, and we need this income." Several captains also expressed understanding. After all, Barcelona's economic difficulties are no secret: high wage expenditures, restrictions on signing registration, and debt repayment pressure, each of which makes Laporta miserable. The players understand that this 8 million euros may not be able to bring Barcelona back to life, but it can at least alleviate the club's short-term cash flow problems. What's more, this is just a friendly business event and will not affect the team's official schedule.

According to the plan, Barcelona's last official game in 2025 will be an away game against Villarreal on December 20. The players will then have a short Christmas break. This Peruvian exhibition match will most likely be scheduled in late December or around Christmas. In other words, Barcelona players are likely to give up part of their vacation and fly directly to South America to finish this commercial game. After returning to Spain, they will also prepare for the first game of the New Year, an away game against Espanyol on January 3 or 4. This cross-continental trip is definitely a challenge for physical fitness and recovery. But in the face of economic reality, Barcelona can no longer care too much, but for coach Flick, it is a bit "unpleasant", but he can only cooperate helplessly.
