La Liga president admits Barcelona on the right track when it comes to financial fair play

Following their exit from the UEFA Champions League, Barcelona’s focus will shift entirely to La Liga and the season ahead.

The club are hard at work trying to return to 1:1 rule in the coming summer so they can reinforce the team heading into the new campaign.

To that end, La Liga president Javier Tebas has offered some encouraging words for the Blaugrana faithful, suggesting the club are heading in the right direction.

Tebas speaks on Barcelona’s finances

Speaking to the media (h/t SPORT) at the Conde de Godo Trophy in Barcelona, Tebas addressed the club’s standing under the financial fair play regulations, offering a rather optimistic outlook.

“There’s still a long way to go until summer. When you arrive, you have to generate revenue to be able to make signings. I don’t know what Barça’s plans are. Laporta isn’t president until July 1st. I think Barça has a very good financial structure,” he said.

“They’ve reached the level a team like FC Barcelona needs to be at. They’re on the right track; let’s see if they’ll make it by June 30th. They’re in a much better position than when Laporta took over,” he added.
