In Spain, the very idea of seeing FC Barcelona recruit Neymar at the next transfer window is considered scandalous, and the state will have an eye on the Barça transfer window.
In Spain, as elsewhere in Europe, the clubs called on state aid, often in the form of short-time working, known as ERTE on the other side of the Pyrenees. And this device has a real cost for the finances of countries, and therefore ultimately of the taxpayer. So, in return, the governments want the companies which benefited from this aid to use this money in a reasoned … and reasonable manner. This Monday AS learned that in Spain the ministries of labor and finance will precisely inspect the accounts of the clubs which have used these various aid devices. In La Liga, eight clubs, including Atlético Madrid and FC Barcelona, knocked on the door of the state to successfully overcome the crisis linked to the coronavirus epidemic.
For the Spanish media, for Barça, this control announced by the tax services promises a very tight transfer window and without madness … and that therefore the hypothesis of seeing Neymar return from Paris Saint-Germain this summer is more and more illusory. ” La Liga is aware of the situation and believes that, despite the fact that every day many players are announced to Spanish teams, the signings in the transfer window will be very few. Employers are convinced that it will not be easy to access the transfer market for clubs which have needed state aid to pay the wages of their employees “Explains AS, who no longer seems to believe in the miracle Neymar at Barça. The Spanish taxpayers do not intend to offer the Brazilian star of Paris Saint-Germain to the Catalan club, and the tax services will ensure this in a very sharp way, the time is no longer to the largesse of the past.
