The unbelievable shopping gap between Real Madrid and Barcelona

While Real Madrid continuously announced new contracts, Barcelona had difficulty bringing in new players.

Barcelona have been quite slow in the summer transfer window.

Since the beginning of this summer transfer window, Real Madrid has led La Liga with a spending of 168 million euros. "Los Blancos" brought in 4 contracts Dean Huijsen, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Franco Mastantuono and Alvaro Carreras.

Meanwhile, Barcelona has only spent 25 million euros, a modest figure compared to Villarreal (37 million euros) or Real Betis (28 million euros). Barcelona's only signing since the beginning of this summer is goalkeeper Joan Garcia from Espanyol (25 million euros). On the other hand, the Camp Nou team earned 11 million euros by selling Alex Valle and Pablo Torre.

Barcelona wanted to sign Nico Williams for 58 million euros. However, the two sides could not agree on personal terms.

La Liga’s financial constraints are the biggest obstacle preventing Barca from realising their dream of signing Williams. The league’s “1:1” rule – spending one euro for every euro saved – is an invisible ceiling that stifles any ambition.

La Liga president Javier Tebas has said there will be no loosening of financial regulations. To counter this rule, Barcelona have also failed to come up with a viable financial solution to register players.

Barcelona are interested in two strikers Marcus Rashford and Luis Diaz to share the burden with Lamine Yamal and Raphinha. In other positions, the Camp Nou team focuses on keeping the pillars instead of buying more.

Barca's 4 goals against Real On the night of May 11, Barcelona defeated Real Madrid 4-3 in round 35, thereby touching the La Liga championship.
