The ratio has been 1-to-2, 1-to-3 and 1-to-4 at different times over the past year, the most frequent being 1-to-4, which means they can spend 25% of what they make or save. Barca hoped the sale of television rights and a 24. 5% stake in Barca Studios would increase their limit sufficiently for them to operate at a 1-to-1 ratio and register all their signings.
LaLiga informed them last week they were still not there yet, though, and as a result they were forced to sell another 24. 5% stake in Barca Studios on the eve of the new season in the hope of registering everyone. - ESPN+ viewers guide: LaLiga, Bundesliga, MLS, FA Cup, more - Stream ESPN FC Daily on ESPN+ (U. S. only) - Don't have ESPN? Get instant accessPrior to Friday's sale, a league source had told ESPN that Barca were able to register some of the new signings, just not all, although who would depend on the cost and combination of players. (For example, less salary space is required to register Christensen than Lewandowski. ) Barca would rather not go down the route of appearing to prioritise registrations if they can avoid it.
This is where Barca find themselves just days before their season opener, a home date with Rayo Vallecano. The spending caps shift all the time, but at the end of last season, Barca's cap was -€144m (it was around €600m prior to the pandemic), the only negative limit in Spain, prompted by losses across the previous campaign of over €400m. Barca's wage bill, meanwhile, including amortisation payments, remains around €500m. While they are outside of their limit, the league only allows them to spend a fraction of what they make in savings on wages, whether through reductions or player exits, and in fees.

Updated: When can Barcelona's summer signings play in LaLiga? Aug 12, 2022Sam MarsdenBarcelona correspondent (Editor's Note: This was updated on Friday following news that Barcelona had sold a further $100m in assets in order to get compliant with LaLiga ahead of the 2022-23 season. )There have been player presentations almost every week at Barcelona this summer. July began with the unveiling ceremonies of Franck Kessie and Andreas Christensen, two players signed on free transfers. Then came Raphinha from Leeds United, Robert Lewandowski from Bayern Munich and Jules Kounde from Sevilla at a cost of over €150 million in combined transfer fees.
Lewandowski's cost on the books, for example, would be his salary plus €12. 5m as his fee is amortised over the length of his four-year deal. Stripped back in the simplest terms possible, the limit is essentially a calculation of what the club can afford based on revenue against outgoings and debt. It is also applied prior to signings so if a club does not meet the criteria laid out by the league, they can't register new players.
Alvarez then grabbed his second assist of the night when setting up Riyad Mahrez to make the game safe as City finished top of Group G. Champions League groups | ResultsHow the teams lined up | Match statsDownload the Sky Sports AppPep Guardiola said of Lewis: "We see him every day, we don't give out presents here. Not just because he's a Manchester City fan and from the academy, he has to earn it. But we've since day one that this guy has something special. He's aggressive enough defensively but does have a lot of margin to improve and with the ball when playing inside he is so good. And outside he showed today with his crossing and finishing.

Sevilla, meanwhile, carried the greater attacking threat and Mir had already had two looks at goal before opening the scoring on 31 minutes. It was really poor defending from City's point of view as Mir was left in three yards of space from an Isco corner to loop a header into the far corner. City had nine shots before the break but only one of those hit the target.
Team news Pep Guardiola made seven changes in total from the win at Leicester. Only Aymeric Laporte, Ilkay Gundogan, Julian Alvarez and Jack Grealish kept their places. Rico Lewis, 17, made his first start for the club while the exciting Cole Palmer was also given his chance. It was an attacking side picked by Guardiola with Palmer, Phil Foden, Riyad Mahrez, Jack Grealish and Julian Alvarez all selected. City's last two games in the Champions League both finished 0-0 and they failed to score in a lacklustre first-half showing.
Alvarez had been making some fine runs in behind the Sevilla centre-backs all evening but no one possessed the vision to find him until De Bruyne picked up the ball on the halfway line and spun a sensational ball in behind that he latched onto. From there the striker rounded the goalkeeper and fired home into the roof of the net. Image: Manchester City's Julian Alvarez celebrates after scoring against Sevilla Mahrez looked like he was feeling sorry for himself at times after a rusty start to the season but his mood improved with eight minutes left, hammering home a superb finish after being found by an unselfish Alvarez pass. Pep: Tactical switch made it a good night for usGuardiola said: "In the first half we were there but we struggled to attack as we played a right footer on the left and left footer on the right so you go inside and it becomes difficult against five at the back.
"Opta stats: Alvarez makes his markAged 22 years and 275 days, Álvarez became the youngest Argentinean to be directly involved in three goals in a single UEFA Champions League match since Lionel Messi vs FC Bayern München in April 2009, also under Pep Guardiola (21 years 288 days). Rafa Mir scored in England for the first time in what was his 19th club appearance in the country, previously failing to score with Wolves, Nottingham Forest and Sevilla (vs West Ham). Lewis became the fifth Englishman to start a UEFA Champions League match before turning 18 after Jack Wilshere, Josh McEachran, Phil Foden and Jude Bellingham. What's next?

Why can't Barca register players? LaLiga's financial regulations are perhaps the strictest of the top European five leagues. Each Spanish side is given a spending cap that denotes the maximum amount they can spend on the first team in relation to players and coaching staff, a figure that includes wages and transfer fees.

Man City 3-1 Sevilla: Rico Lewis makes Champions League history as City end Group G with victoryRico Lewis became the youngest player to score on his first Champions League start as he sparked a Manchester City comeback in a 3-1 win over Sevilla. The 17-year-old right-back coolly slotted home the equaliser after Rafa Mir had headed Sevilla into a shock first-half lead. City had to call for Kevin De Bruyne from the bench in search of a winner and he delivered within three minutes, setting up Julian Alvarez with a wondrous assist - his 12th of the season.
In the second half with Sergio Gomez on the left and Rico Lewis on the right we felt we had more presence in the final third. It's good as of course we have qualified but we finished well and the money for the club is important. It was a good night for us, especially in the second half. "Guardiola on the production line coming from the academy: "The academy is working amazingly since Jadon Sancho, Brahim Diaz, Phil Foden, James McAtee, Cole Palmer, there are many talents. The guys that want to stay here and fight for their position, they have a chance. If they are not patient and listen to the agents more, then they can leave, no problem. You saw the reaction from the crowd that people are so pleased to have players from the academy playing for us. They can help us as they have quality.
The money, therefore, is there, even if it does come at a cost in terms of reduced revenue in the future and growing long-term debts, but finding the cash this summer was not Barca's biggest problem. As was the case when Lionel Messi left last year, the problem is registering new players within LaLiga's financial fair play rules. With the new campaign starting on Saturday, none of Barca's signings are yet signed up with the Spanish league.
Guardiola switched his tactics at half-time by bringing off Jack Grealish and adding another central midfielder into the game with Rodri. Guardiola revealed Grealish was "the best player" in the first half but withdrew him for a mixture of tactical and fatigue reasons. That allowed the two City full-backs to play more as wingers rather than inverted midfielders and it was Lewis - born in 2004 - that grabbed the equaliser. A successful high press left Sevilla outnumbered and Alvarez threaded a perfectly weighted ball through for Lewis, who kept his cool impressively for someone so young and scored with a fine finish.
I do not know how. It's kind of crazy. "The source of Barca's spending is not difficult to understand. In selling off 25% of their domestic television rights to the investment firm Sixth Street for 25 years and 49% of Barca Studios, their in-house production company, to Socios. com and Orpheus Media, they have raised over €700m. They have also recently signed a new sponsorship deal with Spotify, and last year, the club took out a €500m loan from Goldman Sachs to spread out their debt repayments.
