"FC Barcelona's long financial struggle appears to be nearing its end. According to SPORT, the club has carried out a final push behind the scenes that has brought it very close to regulatory stability in terms of their economic issues. Indeed, Barça are currently just €14 million away from returning to La Liga's 1:1 Financial Fair Play rule, a scenario that until recently seemed almost unattainable."
"This progress is not the result of a single move, but rather a carefully constructed financial strategy. One of the key measures has been the renewal of Frenkie de Jong. By extending the midfielder's contract until 2029, the club has been able to spread the amortisation of his signing over more financial years, immediately easing pressure on the salary cap."
Barcelona sits roughly €14 million short of La Liga's 1:1 Financial Fair Play threshold, a position that would permit full reinvestment of generated or freed funds into registrations and signings. The club achieved this progress through multiple coordinated measures rather than a single operation. The renewal of Frenkie de Jong until 2029 spread the amortisation of his transfer across more years, relieving immediate salary-cap pressure. The serious injury to Gavi and the decision not to sign a replacement allowed a near halving of an €18 million registration guarantee, generating about €9 million relief. New commercial partners have bolstered income. An imminent loan of Marc-André ter Stegen to Girona is structured to maximise short-term financial impact and is expected to be formalised this week.
