Barcelona is closing in on full compliance with La Liga’s 1:1 financial rule, which is crucial for the upcoming summer transfer window. The club’s salary cap has risen by €81 million after the winter transfer window, now standing at €432.8 million, enabling more flexible player acquisitions.
Previously, the club faced a complicated salary structure with high-paid players featuring sparingly and others earning less but playing frequently, making budget management challenging. This situation was likened to the complex 'Mirotic case' affecting budget sectors. Now, Barcelona reports steady progress in resolving these issues.
Treasurer Ferran Olive confirmed that by summer, the club will be fully compliant with the 1:1 rule and ready to fulfill any transfer requests from coach Hansi Flick and sporting director Deco. The main priorities include signing a new center-forward and a central defender. Financial and salary constraints will no longer hinder squad improvements.
This financial progress is vital for Barcelona’s competitiveness in La Liga and European competitions, enabling the team to strengthen according to the strategic vision of its technical staff.
