Joan Laporta's famous economic levers have come into play again. After several complicated years, the president keeps looking for clever solutions. He wants to maintain financial stability without affecting the competitive level.
Thanks to these ideas, Barça has managed to face very delicate situations. Some operations, such as the sale of commercial rights or VIP boxes, have made a difference. Dani Olmo, for example, was registered last season thanks to one of them.
Now, from the board's environment, a new possibility is opening up that wasn't on the table. A proposal coming from abroad that could bring in very important revenue. Joan Laporta is already analyzing all the details.
Joan Laporta studies an international offer
The proposal has surprised even within Barça itself. Everything has come from Morocco, a country where the interest in the club is enormous. Specifically, the offer comes from Casablanca.
The Moroccan promoters want Barça to visit their city for a very special event. It would be a friendly match during the preseason. Although it's not the best time in the calendar, the proposal is very tempting.
Laporta himself is convinced that it could be a financial opportunity. Although the exact figure hasn't been revealed yet, it would be a considerable amount. The important thing is that it would help improve the current situation.
In Morocco they want to see Barça live
The friendly match would be held next July 20 in Casablanca. This happens just one week after the start of the preseason and one week before the match against Vissel Kobe in Japan.
Such a tight schedule means the proposal has pros and cons. On one hand, it could mean an extra burden in the middle of preparations. On the other hand, it could also mean financial relief.
To make a final decision, Laporta will speak directly with Flick. The coach has the final say, since he can condition his planning. If there are no objections, the operation will be approved.
Lamine Yamal gives the green light
In addition, there's another important detail: Lamine Yamal has already given his approval. The young Barça star is willing to take part in the event. His presence in Casablanca would make the match even more attractive.
This kind of friendly doesn't just have a financial impact. They also help keep internationalizing the Barça brand. Morocco is a key market and could open doors to new agreements.
The final decision will be made in the coming days. Everything will depend on Flick and the rest of the coaching staff, but if everything fits, Barça will travel to Casablanca on July 20.
