Given uncertainty over registration, Barça are offering a way out

Barça are struggling to have a bug enough spending cap this summer to be able to register all the players who have already renewed their contracts and the signings that need to come in.

The club has submitted a viability plan that must be approved by LaLiga, but the newspaper 'El Mundo' has revealed that Barça are including release clauses for players in the event that they cannot be signed. There is a deadline for them to seek a future elsewhere.

According to this information, the new contracts that Barça are drafting and that must be signed by the new signings make it clear that a door is opened on July 21 so that, in the event that there is not enough salary limit, the players are released from their commitment to the Blaugrana. This would happen in the case of players arriving on a free transfer, such as Íñigo Martínez (Athletic Club) and Gundogan (Manchester City), deals which have practically been agreed already.

Barça are trying to bring in these two players and Lionel Messi for next season. They are also working on the arrival of a left winger, a second striker and, perhaps, a defensive midfielder. In any case, the sporting department is prioritising the registration of the players who have renewed their contracts, according to what has been confirmed to the agents of all these players.

The contracts that Barça are offering to the players arriving at zero cost would be valid until July 21 and everything indicates that the players are accepting because the Catalan club are fully convinced that they will be able to sign all of them after an ambitious viability plan with wage cuts, advertising revenue and sales of some players.
