Barcelona Could Join Premier League If Catalonia Gains Independence by alobispot(m): 12:19pm On Sep 29, 2017
Catalan sports minister insists Barca, Espanyol and Girona will have to decide where they want to play after La Liga chief maintains they cannot be part of Spain's top flight if the region goes it alone.
Barcelona could end up plying their trade in the English Premier League if Catalonia wins independence, according to the region's sports minister.

The claim was made after La Liga president Javier Tebas insisted that Catalan clubs would not be allowed to play in Spain's top flight should the region vote to go it alone.

Sunday's referendum has been declared illegal by the Spanish government and ballot boxes have been seized with prime minister Mariano insisting the referendum “won't happen”.

There is strong support for independence among Catalonia's 7.5m population – including from Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola - but parties loyal to Spain are boycotting the vote.

Among the many uncertainties is what will happen to the region's football clubs, including Barca, if Catalonia becomes a new country.
Gerard Figueras, Catalonia's minister of sport, said;

“In the case of independence, Catalan teams in La Liga – Barcelona, Espanyol and Girona – will have to decide where they want to play: in the Spanish league or a neighbouring country: Italy, France or the Premier League.

“Now in Spain there teams from other countries who play in national leagues: clubs from Andorra in football and basketball. Monaco plays in France, in England Welsh clubs. I don't think that UEFA has anything against seeing another club play in a different league from their country.”

Spain have insisted Barcelona will not be allowed to play in La Liga if the illegal vote goes through.

La Liga president Javier Tebas said;

“In sport, it isn't a la carte and things must be clearly stated. It isn't easy to have an agreement and study Spanish legislation but if they (Catalan clubs) do get that, then they will not be able to play in Spain's La Liga, but I hope it doesn't come to that."

Not going to happen.

Few years ago....Rangers and Celtic of Scotland tried to join EPL....and the EPL management said no.

Even with clubs like Barca and Espanyol in the mix....I doubt. Many English clubs in the EPL don't like the idea of a 20 team league...as that means more games and tired players, and bad performances in money-spinners like the Champions League and the Europa cup.

Will be interesting and in the Premier league Barca won't have excess money as they won't be allowed to negotiate their own TV deal.

And won't have teams that will fall over themselves for them. Bring it on please.
