Barcelona is doing excellent on all fronts; they are in currently first in Primera division with 4 points ahead of Real Madrid and need 3 more points from last two games to secure title. In Spain Copa del Rey they will be facing Athletic Bilbao in final game and in UEFA Champions League they will be playing Juventus for the title. Enrique could win a triple in his first season as Barcelona coach.
Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain are making new standards in player salary
But no matter that their team is playing good Barcelona officials is worry that they might lose one or all three of their attacking trio Neymar, Messi or Suarez. Barcelona vice-president Javier Faust in recent interview said that it will be hard in future to keep their attackers in club. The main reason for that statement is player salary. Spain tax law and UEFA Financial Fair Play are limiting Barcelona ability for player salary. Faust said that new trend from Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea who are both owned by billionaires is making Barcelona life harder, according to Faust at this moment Barcelona is already have problem following salary standards set from those two clubs. Players are always comparing salary from different leagues and clubs and now Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain are dictating the “pace” in near future two Manchester clubs City and United will probably join them on the top. Barcelona is slowly preparing them to lose a player not because they are playing bad but because they cannot follow the salary demands. At the end of the interview Faust said that no matter about the new trends Barcelona will probably keep their attacking trio but they will have one eye on Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain.
“It’s challenging but we’ll keep Messi, Neymar and Suarez, although we’ll have to adapt to the new market circumstances at Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea and not just stand by. Footballers have a very short career and it’s their right to get what other clubs be willing to pay them. We can’t just tell them to stay here for half the salary.”
