For anyone who isn’t aware…

Barcelona claimed they had raised 667m from their “levers”.

When La Liga examined this, they discovered that when Barcelona sold their future TV rights to a company called Sixth Street, they actually formed a third company called Locksley, and Barcelona paid 150m to Locksley on top of the 517m from Sixth Street to buy the rights from Barcelona.

They paid a shell company 150m (which would be amortised over the 25 years) so that company could then pay them 150m more for their tv rights so it looked like they raised more money this year.

Now they are at least 150m short of registering 7 players.

They’re unbelievable. I had no idea that they had done that.

More unbelievable that La Liga caught them AND did something about it.

I actually wanted us to get Maddison instead of the other guy we ended up signing, no need complaining over that now but I think Maddison is a very good player.

I don’t like playing against him and I don’t think that a lot these days.

I think Raz wanted more money that we were offering. Whether that is down to KDB/Haaland is open to debate.

I think Gabby was more about playing time, but also because Arsenal we reportedly offering more than we were.

As you say, maybe because we didn’t want them to stay enough, or maybe because KDB was getting more than they were being offered.

Whenever the wage ceiling is increased, all players want more. Why wouldn’t they? It’s their job, after all. If you were offered £50k a week more at another company, you’d go 99% of the time.

Would there be any working weekends or Bank Holidays involved?
 
Barcelona have the money to buy these players give them there wages but not register them Because of the wage cap!

They could have 4/5 players sat in the stands start of the Spanish league if not sorted…

Really you don’t need ffp if you put a cap on wage limit of 12 months
