The solution that Barca might need to register Messi and Co

Barcelona are looking for solutions to their salary problem. And one way is through sponsors. 100 per cent of what they get from a sponsor can be used in paying players’ salaries. An option that La Liga allows and would help Barca to inject significant money into their dire economic situation.

If they can find sponsors this summer they can take it off their salary excess. This quantity, along with potential sales and reductions on the wage bill can help Barca inscribe their new signings and Leo Messi.

Otherwise they can only add new players in La Liga’s 1x4 formula, where 25% of income from transfers or wage savings can be spent on new players or salaries.

They have got rid of several players so far but need bigger stones to drop, like that of Antoine Griezmann or Philippe Coutinho.
