(Washington Insider Magazine) —Recently, FIFA has left several important and sensitive casualties that have mainly affected FC Barcelona and Real Madrid, especially the first of these with the injury of midfielder Gavi, who will miss the rest of the season after suffering a broken knee. anterior cruciate ligament in the right knee.
The player will miss about nine months, which leaves him without the possibility of playing in the Euro Cup and the Olympic Games, but it also represents a serious problem for Barcelona and its coach Xavi Hernández, who used him in 90% of the games.
Given this, FIFA must pay the Barça team compensation of 20,548 euros (about $22,400 dollars) for each day they are out. However, this will not be immediately since the regulations of the football entity explain that these types of payments occur when the player exceeds 28 days of absence due to physical problems.
This means that the club will begin to receive these payments from December 16, the date on which the 28 days expire. Taking into account that the medical report indicates that the player will miss up to nine months, FIFA must pay the team just over 5 million euros (about $5.4 million dollars).
On the other hand, this long absence of Gavi leaves a big doubt for Barcelona fans and that is whether signings can be made to cover this loss. The answer is yes, but this contract will have certain conditions.
And according to article 77 of LaLiga’s economic control, the affected team can register a player that represents 80% of the injured player’s salary, so the team can seek to have him free or wait for the winter market to do so. a signing that conforms to these rules.
Another team that will be supported by this rule will be Real Madrid, which has lost Vinícius Jr. for the remainder of 2023 and Eduardo Camavinga.
