Barcelona’s financial issues are no secret. They have been affected the club for some time now, and this summer has been no different.
Despite this, Barcelona have been able to have a somewhat successful transfer window this summer, signing the likes of Ilkay Gundogan and Oriol Romeu, with a deal for Manchester City’s Joao Cancelo also set to be completed.
However, that deal could now be on the rocks, as well as a possible operation for Joao Felix, as Barcelona currently do not have enough to register either player with LaLiga. This is because the promised €40m investment from Libero Football Finance has yet to be received, as per MD.
It means that Barcelona are scrambling to generate enough money in order to finalise Cancelo’s deal at the very least. The impending departures of Clement Lenglet and Ansu Fati will help, but the club has also been working on a new strategy in order to guarantee enough money for the remainder of the transfer window, with personal guarantees being utilised by Joan Laporta and some members of the board of directors.
It wouldn’t be Barcelona if things were straightforward at such a crucial time, and club officials will desperately be hoping that Laporta’s strategy is enough for these impending deals to be completed.
CITY need to stop dealing with Barcelona. Poaching our players when they’ve still not paid for Torres!
Poaching your players as if they are graduates of your esteemed academy.
btw, city need money too to remain under FFP. The sword of disqualification and hefty fines is hanging on their head. So don’t be overwhelmed
City will have no problem, they have probably recouped over half of what they have spent through sales of peripheral players and the other half can easily be funded from the winnings for winning the treble. Also, not forgetting the massive commercial income from all the Haaland shirts, etc. – the more he scores, the more those tills ring !!
