"Barcelona are edging closer to one of their most important off-the-pitch objectives in recent years, which is the compliance with La Liga's long-awaited 1:1 financial fair play rule. According to a report from SPORT, Barcelona are now just over €10 million away from meeting the requirement, a milestone that would significantly improve their ability to operate freely in the transfer market. The progress has not come overnight. Instead, it has been the result of a series of calculated financial moves carried out over several months."
"That operation allowed Barcelona to recover one of the guarantees previously submitted to La Liga. The recovered guarantee, worth €19 million, was later used to facilitate player registrations. The final hurdle now centres on the VIP seat deal linked to Spotify Camp Nou. Initially, Forta Advisors contributed €30 million up front, while New Era Visionary Group, represented by Ruslan Birladeanu, committed to paying the remaining €70 million."
Barcelona are just over €10 million short of complying with La Liga's 1:1 financial fair play rule, which would free up transfer market operations. The club spread deferred salary payments by renewing Frenkie de Jong's contract, reducing immediate wage pressure. Gavi's long-term injury and the decision not to sign a replacement lowered short-term expenditure. Commercial revenue was boosted by a proposed Dubai luxury project that would place the Barcelona crest on non-Champions League shirts pending Assembly approval. Player sales, including Pedro 'Dro' Fernandez for €8.2 million, enabled recovery of a €19 million guarantee used to register players. A pending VIP seat deal has seen partial payments, with an outstanding balance remaining.
