Barcelona ready to give Hansi Flick and Deco 'what they ask for' in summer transfer window

"We are at 10-12 million. This summer we will be in the 1-1 rule and we will finally be able to operate normally. It has cost us a lot. As Mateu Alemany told me, we had an inverted pyramid. Footballers who were paid a lot and did not play and others who played and were paid little."

"We are almost at the 1-1 rule. We could have done an operation in January to sell more VIP seats and we would have arrived, but as Deco and Flick did not ask us for anything and Cancelo's registration was made with Christensen's injury, we did not want to do it."

Barcelona is approaching financial compliance with La Liga's 1-1 rule, which requires clubs to spend one euro on new players for every euro earned. The club currently sits 10-12 million euros away from full compliance. Management chose not to pursue additional revenue through January VIP seat sales since coaching staff made no transfer requests and Cancelo's registration was offset by Christensen's injury. Once achieving 1-1 rule compliance this summer, Barcelona can operate normally in the transfer market. The club faced significant challenges due to an inverted wage pyramid where highly-paid players received limited playing time while productive players earned less, creating budget constraints similar to previous costly situations.
