Each Sport: Barcelona handles player registration with caution, and has released 28 million euros salary space

According to the Daily Sports Daily, Barcelona is carefully dealing with the issue of player registration and has released 28 million euros of salary space.

Barca wants to buy time to ensure player registration and lineup formation before the start of La Liga. The departure of players such as Inigor Martinez and Ansu Fati have saved the club nearly 28 million euros in salary space. In addition, Barcelona also earned additional income from transfers from Valais and other players, but the club decided not to rush to take action.

It is reported that Barcelona will be able to register for the summer's main recruits Joan-Garcia (annual salary and amortization expenses totaling 11 million euros) and Rashford (annual salary of 14 million euros). However, Szczesny, Gerald Martin (who cannot register as a youth training player because he is over 23 years old) and Badge are currently unable to register, but the latter can be registered as a player of Barcelona B.

Barca plans to await audit results from audit agency Crowe Spain. If the results are beneficial to VIP seating operations, this will significantly increase the club's salary space, thereby completing all necessary registrations. In December last year, Barcelona reached an agreement with two companies to rent out 475 VIP seats at Camp Nou Stadium for 30 years in exchange for 100 million euros in revenue.

This audit is crucial because if approved by La Liga, Barcelona will be able to restore the 1:1 rule, which means that the club can register players at the actual income and the salary saved, thus providing greater salary flexibility. Currently, Barcelona can only use 60% of their salary savings and 20% of their transfer income to register players.

Another key factor is Ter Stegen's injury. If the German is included in the long-term injury list, the club can use La Liga injury special cases to release the player's salary (40% released for four months and 80% released for five months or more) in order to register a new goalkeeper, which may be Joan Garcia or Szczesny.

At the same time, Barcelona has also signed a sponsorship contract with the Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which will bring about an additional income of about 11 million euros per year in the next four seasons, which will help consolidate the club's financial situation. However, according to La Liga requirements, these sponsorship revenues can only be used to expand the salary space after Barcelona returns to the 1:1 rule.

Therefore, in the face of tight time, Barcelona must also calculate carefully and wait for the most critical audit results to unlock its full fiscal potential.
