Can Barcelona Prevent Another Registration Headache?
Barcelona has one clear goal this summer: avoid another registration mess. The nightmare of Dani Olmo’s past registration issues still haunts the club and its fans. This time, the Blaugrana want to get it right from the start. With Joan García’s signing already sealed and Nico Williams's deal nearly done, Barcelona moves carefully, determined to dodge past mistakes. The club aims to register its new players smoothly, without the drama that marked previous transfer windows.
Joan García’s transfer is official, but the work doesn’t stop there. The focus now is on locking in Nico Williams without hiccups. An agreement with the player is reportedly set, with only the release clause payment left. The real challenge is La Liga’s financial rules. Barcelona must stick to the 1:1 rule and can’t afford another fiasco like the Dani Olmo or Pau Víctor registrations. Lessons learned, the club is moving step by step, with every financial decision planned out.
To balance the books, Barcelona rolled out a smart plan. The VIP seats deal passed the audit, checking off a key step. Still, the club needs another thirty to forty million euros to seal the deal. Sales like Jean Todibo to West Ham and Álex Valle to Como have brought in some cash, but more player exits are in the works to clear space for star signings. Every move is tightly controlled to prevent the headaches of past summers.
The club is making bold calls. Clément Lenglet’s exit, with his hefty salary, is just the start. Players like Pablo Torre, Pau Víctor, Iñaki Peña, and Oriol Romeu are on the chopping block. The big moves, though, could be Ansu Fati and Marc-André ter Stegen. Fati, one of the top earners, hasn’t regained his peak, and a move to AS Monaco looks closer every day. Ter Stegen wants to stay, but Joan García’s arrival might shake up the goalkeeper spot.
Barcelona is set on avoiding last year’s chaos. This summer is their chance to prove they’ve learned from past slip-ups and can compete in the transfer market without tripping over La Liga’s rules. With a solid plan and numbers in hand, the club isn’t just building a stronger squad; it’s aiming to end the registration storms. The question now: Can they pull it off on time, or will they teeter on the edge again?
