Reason revealed why Barcelona have not secured second licence for Joan Gamper trophy
Barcelona were due to return to their stadium for the first time in two years, but after securing a licence to hold events at the ground, they are still awaiting a second licence necessary to open the stadium to fans again. The Catalan side have suggested to the city council that they could perhaps open the ground to a reduced capacity, only opening certain zones and allowing around 30,000 fans in.
Why Barcelona have not secured second licence
Without the second licence from the council though, Barcelona cannot open Camp Nou to the public at all. The council have previously expressed doubts about their ability to secure the licence in time for the Gamper on the 10th of August, and with good reason. Cadena SER explain that the council still have not received the relevant documents from Barcelona in order to complete the application.

The process tends to take around five to six months, and while there is a certain desire to speed through the bureaucracy from the council too, they are unable to send inspectors to the site while the application is not complete. The reason Barcelona have not sent the documentation is due to further delays in the work, which is already eight months behind schedule.
Consequences for Barcelona
The consequences for the Blaugrana are significant. It could lead a major issue in terms of their salary limit, as without a proof of product before the end of August, Barcelona may not be able to include their €100m VIP seat lease in their accounts. In addition, it is now a race against time for the Blaugrana to be ready for their first Liga match on the 14th of September against Valencia.

Bargain purchase price & 25% pay cut! Terms of Marcus Rashford's Barcelona loan transfer revealed as Man Utd outcast prepares to leave Old Trafford
Terms of Rashford's loan move to Barca revealed Rashford will take significant pay cut Set to complete move by Tuesday Follow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱 WHAT HAPPENED? The Athletic reported on Saturday that Barcelona are negotiating a loan move for Rashford with Manchester United, as they look to bolster their squad with an attacker who can operate from the left side. Manager Hansi Flick reportedly met the 27-year-old before giving his green light to the club to sign the forward. THE BIGGER PICTURE Mundo Deportivo has now revealed the details of Rashford's loan deal, which includes a significant pay cut for the England international. The Catalan giants do not have a compulsion to buy the player at the end of his loan spell next summer and even if they want to make the transfer permanent, they will have to pay €30 million (£26m/$34.8m). Rashford will also take a 25% pay cut in order to complete his dream move as Barcelona will not be able to register him on his current wages. DID YOU KNOW? Rashford fell out of favour at United shortly after Ruben Amorim took charge of the club. He was shipped off to Aston Villa on a short-term loan deal in January, where he made 17 appearances for Unai Emery's side as he got his career back on track. WHAT NEXT FOR BARCELONA? Rashford is expected to undergo his medical on either Sunday or Monday before being formally presented as a Barcelona player on Tuesday, July 22.
