Nasser Al-Khelaifi has called for UEFA to investigate Barcelona after they spent most of the summer selling off their assets.
- Barca raised money for new signings
- TV rights and digital content arm sold
- Behaviour sets a dangerous precedent, says Al-Khelaifi
WHAT HAPPENED? Barcelona caused quite the storm during the summer as they had something of a fire sale of their in-house assets to make space for incoming players. The Spanish giants were able to register the likes of Jules Kounde and Robert Lewandowski but Al-Khelaifi doesn’t believe they did it in a moral way.
WHAT HE SAID: “Is this fair? No, it’s not fair … Is it legal? I’m not sure,” he told POLITICO. “If they allow them, others will do the same. UEFA of course have their own [financial] regulations. For sure they’re going to look at everything.
“The new financial sustainability rules are a positive development. But we need to be careful. Dangerous levels of debt and magical equity deals are not a sustainable path.” READ MORE
