Barcelona Able To Register Every Player Due to Fourth Economic Lever And One Salary Cut
Barcelona have been struggling to register any of their new signings for the upcoming season due to financial issues. However, it seems they will be able to register their new signings due to an economic fourth lever and one salary cut.

Martin Braithwaite Receives Hostile Reception From Barca Fans As Contract Dispute Rages On
Martin Braithwaite was subject to abuse from home fans at the Camp Nou on Sunday night. The ongoing contract dispute has left Barcelona fans agitated with Braithwaite and has led to him receiving abuse over social media and on the pitch. Barcelona’s financial issues are still present with the Spanish giants unable to register several of their new signings unless they cut their wage bill.

Barcelona Threaten Legal Action Against De Jong and Want Him to Revert to Previous Contract
Barcelona have reportedly found evidence of criminality in Frenkie De Jong’s contract, and are eager for the Dutchman to revert back to his previous previous arrangement. His current terms were negotiated by the previous board, headed up by former president Josep Bartomeu who was ousted last year following years of gross mismanagement and fraudulent dealings. Frenkie De Jong, who has been heavily linked with the exit this summer, is keen to remain at the Nou Camp despite the club reportedly open to selling him. With the Blaugrana still unable to register the influx of new signings until they balance their wage bill, De Jong’s sale would command both a substantial transfer fee as well as cutting £470,000-a-week off their salary commitments. However, it now seems as if the current board are ...
