It is no secret that La Liga has attempted to expand the reach of Spanish football in recent years.
In order to achieve the same goal, the league recommended moving Barcelona's game versus Atletico Madrid from Montjuic to the United States of America. The Hard Rock Stadium in Miami has been touted as a possible destination.While the concept of moving a league game overseas was previously opposed, better relations between Barcelona and La Liga now support the proposal.
Catalunya Radio has discovered that the Catalans suffer from a sickness.
Barcelona's Condition
For starters, Barcelona is willing to play their crucial match against Los Rojiblancos in Miami without home support. Such a sacrifice, however, requires an equivalent price.
The Catalans thus want financial recompense, especially given that they would lose stadium revenue from ticket sales for the game.
In addition to financial recompense, La Liga will most likely provide special flights for fans who want to travel to Miami to witness the game, with a bigger number of flights earmarked for Barcelona fans to maintain their home advantage.
Barcelona's relationship with La Liga president Javier Tebas has improved in recent years, and the club now supports the league in its efforts to popularize the brand.
In exchange, they expect some flexibility in terms of financial fairness.
As reported earlier this week, Barcelona might earn up to €6 million if the match is shifted to the United States, which is huge for the club, especially considering their challenges to register Ronald Araujo and Andreas Christensen for the second half of the season.
