Barcelona salary limit situation: €72m worse than last summer as Joan Laporta breaks promise

Barcelona faces significant financial challenges as the year ends, with only hours remaining to register Dani Olmo and Pau Victor for the second half of the season.

If La Liga does not approve their registration, the players cannot participate. Barcelona’s salary bill is currently €153m over the limit, €72m worse than after the summer transfer window.

Despite the promising Nike sponsorship deal, the club's financial situation has worsened.

They are seeking approval for a €100m sale of commercial rights to their VIP boxes at Camp Nou, hoping to resolve the issue. The outcome is crucial for Barcelona’s ability to register both players and avoid further setbacks.
