Barça president Joan Laporta made a clear case that the club has the tools to register new signings and to start the league on time. He explained that the club’s current salary limit, bolstered by the act of applying financial levers, is sufficient to cover the incoming players and comply with the league’s requirements. Laporta emphasized that the paperwork has been filed and that a response from the league is anticipated. He noted that there might be minor discrepancies, but the overall setup should not pose a problem, and the registration process for players should proceed smoothly. If any hurdle appears, the club is prepared to employ an additional lever to secure the necessary budget, and the plan will be executed without delay. (Source: Barça communications)
