Barcelona’s President Joan Laporta and the club’s board of directors have taken a significant step by offering a guarantee based on future earnings to LaLiga.
This move is aimed at facilitating the signings of Joao Cancelo and Joao Felix, as reported by ESPN sources.
Earlier this summer, Barcelona announced the sale of a 29.5% stake in Barça Vision for €120 million.
However, the initial payment from this deal has not been received yet.
As a result, Barcelona has found itself with limited salary space within LaLiga’s imposed spending cap.
This financial constraint prevented the club from registering Iñigo Martinez, who was acquired from Athletic Club, and hindered any further transfer activity.
Sources have indicated that the guarantee presented by the club’s directors, which is backed by the pending funds from the sale of Barça Vision, should enable the registration of Martinez and the signings of Cancelo and Felix.
Both Cancelo and Felix are expected to join on loan.
Cancelo, a right-back from Manchester City, will reinforce Barcelona’s defense, while Felix, an Atletico forward, will fill the void left by the departures of Ousmane Dembele and Ansu Fati.
Barcelona has also created some salary space through other moves, including the loans of Ansu Fati to Brighton & Hove Albion and Clement Lenglet to Aston Villa.
Additionally, negotiations are ongoing with Real Betis regarding forward Ez Abde.
LaLiga sources have refrained from providing specific comments on these deals, given the busy nature of the final day of the summer transfer window for most European leagues.
