Barcelona may need to sell players before registering new goalkeeper Joan Garcia, according to LaLiga president Javier Tebas. Softfootball reports that Tebas has advised the Catalan club to improve its financial position before completing the registration process for the goalkeeper.
Garcia is expected to strengthen Barcelona’s options between the posts after establishing himself as one of Spain’s promising young goalkeepers.
Barcelona’s financial situation has remained a major issue in recent seasons, with the club required to comply with LaLiga’s economic controls. Those regulations determine how much clubs can spend and which new players they can register.
Tebas’ comments therefore highlight another challenge facing Barcelona during the transfer window. Signing a player is only one part of the process, as the club must also satisfy the league’s financial requirements.
The Catalan giants have been working to reduce their wage bill and improve revenue while maintaining a competitive squad. Potential player sales could provide additional financial flexibility and help Barcelona register Garcia and other new additions.
The situation is particularly important because the club wants to strengthen several positions ahead of the new campaign. Garcia’s arrival would increase competition in goal and give Barcelona another young option for the future.
