"Barcelona's financial fair play battle appears to be close to crossing an important milestone. According to SPORT, the club is now just 14 million euros short of meeting the 1:1 rule. Achieving this would let Barcelona reinvest every euro they free up or generate into registrations and transfers, a scenario that they were not close to achieving a few months ago. Frenkie de Jong's renewal until 2029 stands out as one of the key maneuvers."
"Unexpected events have also helped. Gavi's serious injury and the club's choice not to sign a replacement freed around nine million euros. New commercial partnerships finalized late in 2025 further strengthened the club's income projections, edging them closer to compliance. Marc-André ter Stegen is expected to provide the final boost. His loan to Girona is reportedly agreed, with Girona covering roughly 15 to 20 percent of the goalkeeper's remaining half-season salary."
Barcelona stands about €14 million short of the 1:1 financial fair play rule, placing the club close to being able to reinvest freed funds into registrations and transfers. Frenkie de Jong's renewal until 2029 spreads his transfer costs over a longer period and eases immediate account pressure while retaining the midfielder long-term. Gavi's serious injury and the decision not to sign a replacement freed roughly €9 million. New commercial partnerships finalized late in 2025 improved income projections. A loan for Marc-André ter Stegen to Girona will have Girona cover part of his salary, saving about €1.5 million over six months. Most VIP seat license revenue has been collected since October, though some installments await recognition early in 2026, and a remaining few million could come from additional VIP deals or small player sales. The club plans a €30m option to buy Marcus Rashford and aims to extend Ferran Torres, while Robert Lewandowski's future is uncertain given age and high wages.
