Joan Laporta says Barcelona will be able to make normal signings again in January after struggling to register players this summer.
They signed Dani Olmo from RB Leipzig this summer but missed the first two games of the season because they could not register him with La Liga due to transfer fee issues.
Olmo’s registration eventually came after Ilkay Gundogan returned to Manchester City and Andreas Christensen suffered a long-term Achilles injury. However,
Laporta says their finances will return to the 1:1 rule and then signings will be possible as normal.
“Yes, because we planned to follow La Liga’s 1:1 rule before,” Laporta told a http://ufabet999.app news conference.
“When you say sign, we can sign players. The problem is to register with the league. It is easier when we can do it according to the 1:1 rule. “
But at the moment we are not thinking about any players. (For January) because we are happy with the squad we have but Deco and his coaching staff are working very hard to analyse what the team needs in the medium and long term. “
La Liga’s 1:1 rule allows them to spend freely with the money they raise from wage bills, from transfer fees and from other income.
When their finances do not meet the rules, and every La Liga team is periodically assessed, they face spending restrictions.
Laporta says renegotiating the agreement with the club’s kit sponsor Nike would allow them to meet the requirement.
“Financially it would be easy for us to meet the 1:1 rule by signing with Nike, but we do not want to do that. We want to improve some conditions first. What we sign will be the best contract in football.”
