In their efforts to sign Dani Olmo and Pau Victor before La Liga’s December 31 deadline, Barcelona must overcome yet another financial obstacle.
The players would be ineligible for the remainder of the season if they didn’t comply.
The Blaugrana are considering taking legal action, claiming that preventing registration violates the players’ right to employment.
Meeting La Liga’s pay cap restrictions, however, continues to be their first priority.
According to Sport, Barcelona must earn €60 million to match their payroll expenditure and pay ceiling.
The squad still requires additional funding to fulfill its costs, even though it recently inked a new sponsorship deal with Nike.
One potential solution, according to Football Espana, is to sell the rights to Camp Nou’s VIP seats for the next 20 years.
Such a transaction may yield between €100 million and €200 million.
However, La Liga’s budgetary constraints, which require that the revenue be disbursed over the course of the contract, limit the immediate impact of such agreements.
With time running out, Barcelona’s financial office is working frantically to secure the funds they require and avoid player registration problems.
