The 2021-2022 season has already ended and movements will begin to take place in the market shortly. FC Barcelona has two signings 'tied', but a big problem is coming along the way

Calendar of FC Barcelona

avecinan Months moved with the market of signings veraniego. The FC Barcelona is one of the clubs that, probably, more operations make during this period, but is conditioned by his economic situation that, to day of today, keeps on being delicate and does not leave margin of action. The millionaire losses that has dragged the club in these last two years see reflected in the limit salarial, that to day of today is of less 144 million euros. When being exceeded, the team remains in an extreme situation.

And it is the worst possible news for a Barça that, to the doors of the month of June, expected to have a more solvent situation. All the contrary, but the club already has 'tied' to two players: Andreas Christensen and Franck Kessié, those who to day of today can have his agreement signed with the club, but could not contest an official party with the Barcelona when being 'impossible' his registration in LaLiga.

Although the Barça can arrive to agreements with players of face to the next season, is not in capacity to include it in his changing room of official way. The culés exceed his limit salarial and, to inscribe, have to cost of the article 100 to be able to inscribe, with two rules prohibitivas: the '1 to 3' and the '1 to 4'. The first refers to that by each four euros freed with a sale with plusvalías or discount salarial, can use one to inscribe to a player.

The second replaces to the '1 to 2' and now, if it sells or frees mass salarial with players that suppose 5% of the mass salarial, the club only will be able to allocate 33% of the saved for the registration of the new player, that is to say, of three euros saved, can use one. LaLiga Has specified that this rule will disappear from 1 September 2022, by what later only will remain in force the one of 25%.

In a practical example, if the Barça sells to Òscar Mingueza by 20 million euros, will be able to apply the rule '1 to 4, put the canterano does not represent 5% of the mass salarial of the staff. Like this then , of this sale the club only could use five 'kilos'. By the contrary, in the hypothetical case that the blaugrana sold to Jordi Alba, the blaugrana yes could apply the rule of 33%.

Laporta Had warned it

The maximum Barcelona mandator confirmed does some days during an interview offered to L'Esportiu of Catalonia, that the situation of the Barça is, as little, critical. The club is still in the UCI, in what to the finances refers : "Although we generated determinate income, the criterion of LaLiga no us permetiría have margin salarial. We respect the norms, but understand that they are strict and are an offend comparative with other countries. We are speaking with LaLiga of these subjects, but see a position very enrocada. Simply: according to LaLiga, neither ingresando 600 million euros could have margin salarial".
