Beyond cutting 200 million euros from his salary mass, which is not little, FC Barcelona will have to wait for the verdict of the LaLiga Validation Body to find out if it is possible to register Leo Messi. Said body can adjust any operation to the new salary limit if it is detected that the amounts contributed do not match the market value.
In other words, it can determine the minimum cost of the player regardless of the amount that appears in his contract for the purposes of “consumption” of the salary limit.
To make a decision, the LaLiga Validation Body uses the report of an Assessment Committee made up of external experts that decides based on a series of criteria: the player’s age, the current situation of the football market, the validity period of the contract, the number of caps in the current and previous season, the individual awards won during the last three years, such as the Ballon d’Or, the number of international championships won during the last four years, the number of national championships won during the last two years, the number of games played during the current season and the previous one, the sports category in which the destination club plays and its situation and, the most important point, any other that is justified and accredited, such as For example, that Barcelona moves to Montjuïc next year, so you need a claim.
The committee, which will resolve said criteria using specialized programs or platforms without prejudice to being able to make reasoned adjustments to said valuations, is made up of three or five members appointed from among financial economists and specialists in sports law. The committee has a secretary, appointed by the Validation Body, who cannot intervene or participate in voting.
