Maximum bidding capacity of Barcelona Sporting Club per player pass is $ 300,000, says Carlos Alfaro Moreno

Barcelona Sporting Club would have to love a footballer “a lot” to sign him for $ 300,000. And even then there would be “a payment plan that they would have to accept” on the team that sold the pass.. This, since that is the maximum amount that canaries could currently disburse, said its president Carlos Alfaro Moreno.

“Barcelona cannot buy any player for 900 (one thousand dollars) or 800, or 700, or 600, or 500, or 400. It is so. And if they tell us 300 (a thousand dollars) for one that we love a lot, we have to make a payment plan that they would have to accept us, ”said the manager on the television program Football without cassette, as seen early this Wednesday in an interview preview, which will be broadcast in full at night (22:00) on the channel DirecTV Sports.

The detail was given by Alfaro Moreno when asked about the permanence in the bullfighting team of central Luis Fernando León for the next season. The Ecuadorian international, whose pass belongs to the Mexican club Atlético San Luis, will not continue in Guayaquil, since his one-year assignment ended..

“There are situations like León’s here. It doesn’t follow, because we can’t (hold it back). It was an opportunity to have him, ”added the 57-year-old former striker. “Impossible (to continue). It was only for purchase: $ 900,000 50% of the pass if I’m not mistaken, 50 or 60% ”.

León joined the team led by Argentine Fabián Bustos in January. He was part of the bullfighters’ base, playing 27 games (2,343 minutes) in LigaPro Serie A 2021, all of them as a starter.. He was also in the twelve commitments of the yellow team in the Copa Libertadores, reaching the semifinals.

By way of argument, Alfaro Moreno said about letting the 28-year-old defender go: “If not (he did it like that and bought it), we would be doing the same as always (in terms of the club’s finances). And when we commit ourselves, it is to fulfill ”.

One of the flags of the current Barcelona leadership, whose administration covers the 2020-2023 four-year period, is the dispute over the “financial championship”.

According to an audit by the PKF firm as of September 30, 2019, the debt of the Guayaquil club was $ 51’624,789. In December 2020, Xavier Salem, financial vice president of Barcelona, ​​pointed out that the “certified” amount was $ 45 million and that the difference between figures responded to an “illegitimate” debt.. In November 2021, Alfaro Moreno said that his board managed to pay $ 12 million. (D)
