LaLiga speaks on Barcelona failing to register new signings

Barcelona’s financial and registration issues will be resolved in order for their new players to be available, according to LaLiga president Javier Tebas, who claims he has received promises to that effect.

The Catalans are having a spectacular summer after reaching agreements to sign Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski.

Jules Kounde, a defender for Sevilla, is also on the verge of moving to Barca in a lucrative deal.

Their extravagant spending is rather unexpected given the club’s well-known financial problems.

LaLiga’s strict player registration regulations are another issue that has some worried about how new players like Andreas Christensen, Franck Kessie, and others will be able to play for Barca in 2022–2023.

Tebas told Sport: “They have sold 10 percent of their TV rights for €207m. Then they increased that share to 25% which I think gives them some €350m more.

“That would be €500m and I think they have another, third lever of around €200m. With that and if they manage to get some players to leave, this explains the possibility of these signings.

“They have been able to sell assets, which was something they needed to do, and to reduce salaries – that’s what allows them to sign.”

On August 13, Barcelona will play its first Liga match against Rayo Vallecano.

After winning the Champions League, Kylian Mbappé is expected to be announced as a new signing by Real Madrid the following week.

In February, the 25-year-old international athlete made his choice. He can now be regarded as a new Real player because every document has been completed, sealed, and signed.

As per media reports, Kylian Mbappé joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer. “.. I wanted to announce to you all that it’s my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks. I will play my last game as Parc des Princes on Sunday,” Mbappe said in a video statement on X.

“It’s a lot of emotions. (For) many years I had the chance and great honour to be a member of the biggest French club, one of the best in the world which allowed me to travel here,” Mbappe added.

“It’s hard and I never thought it would be this difficult to announce that I will leave the country, France, the league and the Championship. But I think, I needed this, a new challenge after seven years.”
