Spanish media outlet Relevo has analyzed that although Barcelona has transferred Gundogan and Roque, and both deals are close to being official, this is not enough for Barcelona to register new signing Olmo. Therefore, Barcelona may use the same method as when they registered Koundé to register Olmo, using future expected revenue as a guarantee and using it in advance.
Barcelona, which has been plagued by registration issues for years, is now accustomed to this situation. The second round of Barcelona’s match against Athletic Bilbao is approaching, but Olmo’s registration has yet to be completed.
Although Gundogan and Roque have left, it is still not enough. Gundogan’s transfer to Manchester City was a free transfer, and Barcelona will not receive a transfer fee. His annual salary is 18 million euros, exceeding 5% of the team’s total salary. After his departure, Barcelona can use 70% of the space freed up.
Roque’s situation is different, as he was not on Barcelona’s registration list. His departure will alleviate some of Barcelona’s financial pressure, but it will not be of much help in registering Olmo. Olmo is one of the highest-paid players on the team, and his 55 million euro transfer fee for a six-year contract will require about 9 million euros in annual financial amortization. Barcelona must free up 20 million euros in financial space to register the new signing.
Even if Barcelona sells Fati, it will not be enough to register Olmo. Therefore, Relevo points out that Barcelona is also considering another way to register new signings: guaranteeing. Two years ago, Barcelona contacted La Liga and started the guarantee process, using future revenue as collateral to register Koundé. Barcelona may use the same method to solve Olmo’s registration problem.
