Barcelona Scramble to Free Salary Space for Unregistered Summer Signings

Joan Laporta says leveraging Ter Stegen’s absence will help unlock funds to register new arrivals under La Liga’s salary cap.

Overview

  • Barcelona remain unable to register Marcus Rashford, Joan Garcia and Roony Bardghji ahead of their La Liga opener because of strict financial limits.
  • The club is working behind the scenes to comply with financial fair play and hopes to complete enrollments before August 16.
  • Barcelona have indicated they will consider a €30 million offer for midfielder Marc Casado to create additional salary room.
  • They are holding off on any deal for Iñaki Peña until either Joan Garcia or Wojciech Szczesny secures registration to avoid a goalkeeper shortfall.
  • Loan enquiries for 19-year-old defender Hector Fort reflect the club’s push to trim the wage bill and meet the league’s 1:1 salary requirements.
