Overview
- LaLiga told Barcelona on July 2 that the club is back under the 1:1 spending rule, allowing 100% of transfer receipts and wage savings to be reused within its calculated limit.
- The rule change removes the registration limits that previously forced Barca to use only a portion of new funds and caused delayed player registrations in past windows.
- Barcelona say the new flexibility clears about €58 million of wage space and makes recent sale proceeds such as €11m for Ansu Fati and €3m for Iñaki Peña fully available for signings.
- Club president Joan Laporta confirmed Barcelona have made a club-to-club offer for Julián Álvarez and the sporting staff say they can now register him if a fee and agreement with Atlético Madrid are reached.
- The reinstatement follows years of austerity measures, asset sales and VIP-seat revenue advances that rebuilt the club’s finances and restored compliance with LaLiga’s club-specific spending limits.
