Barcelona given hope of 1:1 return in time for summer – “They are on the right track”
Barcelona have big plans for the summer transfer window, but in order to have any chance of making them a reality, they must return to the 1:1 rule before the end of June. If they can do so, they’d have much more leeway when it comes to signing players, especially those that will elevate the level of Hansi Flick’s squad.
At this stage, Barcelona are still working to get themselves back into the 1:1 rule, but they are much closer than they have been previously. This was recognised by La Liga president Javier Tebas, who spoke on the Catalan club’s situation when he interviewed by the media at the weekend, as per Sport.
“There’s a long way to go until the summer. When you get there, you have to generate income to be able to sign. I don’t know what Barça’s plans are. Laporta is not the president until July 1. I think Barça structure their income statement very well. They have put themselves at the level that a team like FC Barcelona has to be. They are on the right track. Let’s see if they will arrive by June 30. They are in a much better position than when Laporta took over.”
Tebas was also asked about the two complaints Barcelona recently submitted to UEFA on the back of their Champions League quarter-final exit at the hands of Atletico Madrid. One was sent in after the first leg, with the one having been received by the European football governing body in the aftermath of the return leg last week.
The 1:1 rule requires that for every euro spent on player wages, the club must generate an equivalent amount in income, which is essential for Barcelona's transfer activities.
Javier Tebas is the president of La Liga, and he expressed optimism about Barcelona's financial recovery, noting they are on the right track to meet the 1:1 rule by June 30.
Barcelona aims to sign new players to enhance their squad, contingent on their ability to comply with the 1:1 financial rule before the summer transfer window opens.

“We have not talked about the refereeing. I always say that they have to improve and aspire to excellence. I always say this to the CTA and the referees. If there are complaints, we have to improve so that there are many fewer errors.
“I don’t think they are of much use. I understand that they complain, but I am not going to get into it. In La Liga we have the review time that makes the clubs understand the decision to a certain extent.”
