La Liga President Tebas recently reiterated his desire to hold a La Liga match in Miami in an interview with ESPN in the United States.

He said: "We have always hoped to have a game in Miami one day. We have discussed involving some important teams, such as Atletico Madrid vs. Barcelona. The specific arrangement will depend on the schedule, but our goal is to bring a top team."

In addition, Tebas also mentioned that due to the tension between La Liga and some clubs, Barcelona is more likely to be the team in this game than Real Madrid.

He said: "From the current relationship, Barcelona is obviously easier to implement this plan than Real Madrid."

For Barcelona in urgent need of income, going to the United States for a game may be a good choice. However, this has also caused concern among fans. The match scheduled for Miami, which was scheduled to be held last December 22, failed to take place due to opposition from some season ticket holders, fearing that the match they already paid for would be cancelled and that it was probably one of the most notable matches of the year. If Barcelona unilaterally decides to move the game to the United States, then the dissatisfaction among members may be even worse.

Finally, Tebas also talked about Barcelona's situation in the transfer market. He said that although Barcelona has not yet reached the 1:1 fiscal balance requirement, they are already very close.

He said: "I think they are not far from meeting the standards. The key is that they need to take some measures to meet the regulations, but they are indeed very close."
