Chelsea are interested in signing the Barcelona midfielder Fermin Lopez in the coming months. According to a report from Fichajes, they rate the player highly and believe he could be a player for them in the long term. They are prepared to offer 100 million in order to get the deal done. It will be interesting to see if Barcelona are prepared to sanction his departure.
As reported by Diario SPORT, the Blaugrana technical secretariat had monitored Moleiro closely, identifying him as a talent that fit the club's DNA perfectly. But just as the stars seemed aligned for the two Canary Islanders to reunite in Catalonia, reality intervened. Barcelona's delicate financial situation at the time made the operation unfeasible, and the deal collapsed before it could be finalised.
According to a report from Fichajes, Liverpool have identified Roony Bardghji as a key target and are prepared to submit an offer worth around €50 million to prise him away from the Blaugrana. The reported interest comes at a crucial moment for both clubs, as Liverpool are actively planning for life after Mohamed Salah, with the Egyptian forward widely expected to leave next summer.
Speaking in an interview with Polish journalist Bogdan Rymanowski, Lewandowski reacted to claims made in an unauthorised biography that suggested Barcelona were financially exposed if the striker crossed a certain goal threshold. According to the book, a clause in the deal between Barcelona and Bayern meant that additional payments would be triggered once Lewandowski reached a specific number of goals, placing further strain on an already fragile club economy.
Andreas Christensen's injury has opened a regulatory window that allows Barcelona to temporarily use part of the defender's wages to register a replacement. However, turning that possibility into a completed signing will depend entirely on meeting a strict set of deadlines. As reported before, La Liga regulations allow clubs to use up to 80% of an injured player's salary to register a replacement, but this figure is adjusted depending on when the request is submitted during the season.
Moviment 42 is a movement born in Les Corts, with many members who are from the vicinity of Camp Nou. Since we also really like numbers, we started by providing financial solutions, so why not put a number on a movement?
Joan Laporta's current term at Barcelona has been largely aimed at lifting the club from the financial mess they were in at the time of his arrival. After all, the club were sinking into debt when he took over as the president. Through well-negotiated salary revisions, player sales and economic levers, Laporta brought Barcelona back to a competitive level on the field and close to the financial 1:1 rule, although they still have not hit the aforementioned balance yet. The club's situation and means of getting out of it, however, have generated significant debate in recent times.
Tottenham's interest is neither new nor superficial. The London side has been tracking Ferran closely for several weeks, convinced that the Spaniard's strong Premier League background makes him an ideal reinforcement. At 25, Ferran is entering what many consider his prime years, and his current level at Barcelona reflects exactly that. He has become one of the most reliable forwards in Hansi Flick's squad, a player who contributes with movement, intensity, clever positioning, and the ability to appear in dangerous areas at the right moment.
UEFA wanted to punish us by not allowing us to play in the next Champions League. And the fact that Barcelona isn't a limited company and can't increase its capital was one of the arguments we used to get UEFA to reduce the fine for breaching financial fair play from 60 million to 15 million,
However, after revenue increased to €994m, ($1.16 billion) up €100m ($116m) on the previous year, Barça said the results continue the "consolidation of the club's economic recovery" following years of financial struggles. The main factors for the rise in turnover are attributed to a new agreement with Nike, a boost in merchandising sales, improved results on the pitch and higher attendances at the Olympic Stadium.
Barcelona's squad spending limit has dropped to €351 million ($411.8m) -- down €112m from last winter -- while Real Madrid's has increased to €761m, LaLiga said on Friday. The league's squad cost limits, which are made public after each transfer window, denote the maximum amount that each club is permitted to spend on first-team players, as well as coaching staff, reserve and youth teams.
