Barcelona’s summer is heating up, but not in the way fans had hoped — at least not yet.
While rivals have been busy stacking up signings like trading cards, Barca are walking a tightrope thanks to La Liga’s salary rules.
Despite their ambition, the Catalan giants still need to sell before they can buy. And until they balance the books, new signings might stay stuck in the paperwork pile.
That hasn’t stopped them from aiming high. Espanyol keeper Joan García is top of the list, with a €25 million release clause already turning heads at Camp Nou. Meanwhile, Deco reportedly made an early move for Luis Díaz, but Liverpool gave that idea the red light.
The club has raised close to €15 million in recent days, thanks to smart sell-ons and a full transfer. Still, it's clear Barca are juggling more numbers than goals right now.
President Laporta is pushing levers again, hoping revenue from Camp Nou’s VIP seats helps make signings possible. But with La Liga watching closely, the game off the pitch might be tougher than the one on it.
