TA: Barcelona signing and registration still depends on financial status, selling or renting can alleviate the pressure

June 3rd, "TheAthletic" wrote an article analyzing Barcelona's transfer operations this summer, and its financial situation will still affect Barcelona's signing actions.

Transfer

Sports Director Deco and coach Frick both said they hope to introduce a new left winger. They believe that in the critical stage of last season, the team lacked depth in this position, and adding a high-level new player will enhance Barcelona's competitiveness in the third-line battle in the new season.

goalkeeper is also a priority signing position for Barcelona, ​​and in May the club provided Szczesni with a two-year contract extension. If Szczesny accepts it, then he and Ter Stegen will be Flick's two choices in the goalkeeper position. Ter Stegen is 33 years old and Szczesny is 35 years old. The latter was a good substitute goalkeeper last season, but not a star player. Given that Ter Stegen has just recovered from a serious knee injury, Barcelona is looking for a long-term alternative.

Barcelona showed interest in both Luis Dias and Rashford, but the club's financial situation will be the deciding factor. Deco and Frick mentioned the two players at a recent press conference, and although Deco is more inclined to Dias, Rashford is considered a more affordable option. However, at the current point in time, Barcelona is still unable to determine whether they can advance these two transactions.

The future trends still depend on the club's financial situation. At present, it is still uncertain whether La Liga will allow Barcelona to register new players. Last season, the club had to legally register for Ormo and Paul Victor because the La Liga believed that Barcelona violated the spending rules and therefore prohibited them from registering new players.

Currently, Barcelona's primary goal is Espanyol goalkeeper Joan Garcia. As one of the best goalkeepers in La Liga last season, he is regarded as a hot spot in the market. Garcia's termination fee is 25 million euros, and Barcelona believes that there is almost no better goalkeeper option in the market than him. But since Garcia currently plays for Barcelona's city rival Espanyol, that could affect his personal decision. At the same time, Premier League clubs are also interested in him, including Arsenal.

Transfer out

Barcelona wants to sell multiple players, but many of them don't want to leave. Although Barcelona set a 60 million euro termination clause in Araujo's latest contract, it may not attract too many suitors as the 26-year-old Uruguay international didn't perform well in the second half of the season. More importantly, Araujo seems determined to stay at Barcelona and compete for the main position.

Christensen's contract is about to enter his final year, but he also tends to stay in the team. As for Ter Stegen, if Joan Garcia joins, Barcelona may consider selling the German goalkeeper. But Ter Stegen said during the preparations for Germany that he is sure to stay at Barcelona next season.

Another goalkeeper, Inaghi Peña, is likely to leave the club permanently. After Terstegen was injured in January, Penia lost to Szczesny in position competition. Peña's current contract is only one year left, and both the players and the club believe that breaking up is the best choice.

Who will leave the team on loan?

Some players who hold large contracts will do it, such as Fati. Fati, 22, has made only 11 appearances last season and has accepted the idea of ​​leaving the team on loan to seek new opportunities. Currently, Monaco is the club that is most likely to sign him. If Barcelona can bring in new offensive players, Paul Victor may also take the same path. ACTO Ford and Pablo Torre may also be loaned, provided that Barcelona can buy new players in the same position this summer.

What has Barcelona finalized?

First of all, Yamal's contract renewal, which Deco said two weeks ago would be Barcelona's "best signing this summer." The contract will allow Yamal to stay in the team until 2031 and make him one of Barcelona's highest-paid players. Rafinia also renewed her contract last month and increased her treatment. In January, Barcelona had renewed contracts with Pedri, Garvey, KuBazi, Araujo and Inigo Martinez. De Jong and Eric Garcia should be the players who will renew their contracts next.

Regarding budget and salary cap, this may indeed be the most critical issue. As mentioned above, Barcelona can only successfully register a new player after obtaining approval from La Liga. What follows depends largely on whether the club can sort out its financial situation. This Wednesday we will be posting a more in-depth article to explore this issue, as the overall situation is quite complex.

It is not clear how much operational space Barcelona has, but any player's departure, whether on loan or formal transfer, will help alleviate related problems.
