Barcelona can sign new players and are no longer subject to financial restrictions. |
According to Sport , Mr. Tebas confirmed with Barcelona president, Laporta, that the Catalan club will soon return to meet La Liga's financial requirements, based on the situation of player liquidation and recruiting new players this summer.
This also allows them to spend in proportion to the money they earn or save (known as the 1:1 rule). As of the end of June, Barcelona are still around €30 million short of revenue to comply with La Liga's salary cap.
The Spanish top flight has long used a 1:1 rule, allowing clubs to spend as much as they earn, as long as their combined wage and transfer costs stay within an approved salary cap. In exceptional cases, clubs can only spend 60% more than they earn.
Barcelona, with its history of financial irregularities and 1-1 rules, have come under scrutiny from La Liga, as was the case with Dani Olmo's near-deregistration in January. According to The Athletic , Barcelona's problem is not a lack of money to buy players, but rather huge debt and high wage costs, with a total wage bill for the 2024/25 season estimated at €223.8m.
To address this, Barcelona have taken a number of measures this summer, including the successful loan of Ansu Fati and the early termination of Clément Lenglet’s contract, while also looking to increase revenue. A key element is the €100m lease of 475 VIP seats at the new Camp Nou, which needs to be approved by auditors for inclusion in the 2024/25 financial statements.
This contract, along with other efforts such as the Barca Mobile project (virtual mobile network), is expected to help Barcelona return to the 1:1 rule, opening up the opportunity to register two new players, goalkeeper Joan Garcia and Nico Williams.
Confirmation from Tebas says Barcelona will soon qualify under the 1:1 rule, thanks to Ansu Fati's departure to Monaco and the VIP seat deal at Camp Nou being recorded on the books.
