FC Barcelona might face trouble again during next transfer window after breaching ‘Financial Fair Play’ by €30 million
FC Barcelona president Joan Laporte
Spanish giants FC Barcelona have been in a financially awkward position for a few years now. They might have to face monetary restrictions while making transfers this January after breaking La Liga’s FFP rules one more time. The club’s high wage budget has triggered the 1:3 rule, forcing it to earn three times the money it would be spending.
FC Barcelona is a historical club with high-profile players. Players like Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, Frenkie De Jong, and many more are still playing for Barca. Their inflated wage bill has resulted in the 1:3 rule being activated. This rule would put them in a worrying spot, as the football club would have to earn thrice the money they would be spending on transfers and wages.
Xavi announced that the club is looking for a right-back and a defensive midfielder in the coming transfer window. They kept tabs on players like Ngolo Kante and Zubimendi as a replacement for Sergio Busquets. The question is how they would manage their expenses after being restricted to spending as less money as possible.

A look at FC Barcelona’s rebuilding phase
FC Barcelona’s president, Joan Laporte, has turned around the club’s functioning after Lionel Messi’s departure. What was once one of the most feared clubs in Europe, FC Barcelona, has now been somewhat brought back to its ruins. They have faced multiple horrendous losses against clubs like Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, Frankfurt, etc.
Xavi has seen a lot of ups and downs at the club since returning to Camp Nou. Many fans believe he has done a decent job in a short time. The Spanish legend beat Real Madrid 4-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu last season. That was Xavi’s first ever El Clasico as a manager. FC Barcelona has also been doing great in La Liga this season.
The Catalan club is at the top of the table with 37 points in 14 matches. Their only loss in the domestic league has come against European champions Real Madrid. They lead the table with a 2-point advantage over Los Blancos.
