Daily Sports News reported that Barcelona is close to meeting the 1:1 financial rules, and the transfer market operations are expected to return to normal.
After weeks of speculation and disagreement, the question of whether Barcelona complies with the 1:1 rule has finally come to light. The club saw the light of the day, and as the 2024/25 financial year approached the end of the financial year, Barcelona has been almost confirmed by auditor Crowe Spain that the 100 million euros from the transfer of operating rights of 457 VIP seats at the Camp Nou Stadium will be included in the balance sheet for the current fiscal year. The club believes that this operation will recomply with the 1:1 rule, allowing it to function properly in the transfer market.
Next, Barcelona will need to free up cap space by leaving the team with different players, such as Fati and Torre's transfer negotiations are coming to an end, or players like Christensen and Ter Stegen may also leave. In any case, this new situation will help Nico Williams join and register. It is worth mentioning that the club has successfully entered the 1:1 rule during the winter transfer window. After only three days of service, the auditing company at that time recorded all 100 million euros of VIP seat revenue in the accounts and was recognized by the La Liga. However, later new audit firm Crowe Spain refused to include it in the interim statement because the seats have not been built yet. This led to the La Liga led by Tebas notifying Barcelona that they no longer comply with the rules. Now, La Liga should accept the deal again, as did this January.
In addition, the change in attitudes of audit companies may be affected by accounting regulations. By law, you cannot sell assets that have not yet been put into use. Therefore, in addition to speeding up the construction of the stadium and seats, the club also plans to return to the Camp Nou Stadium as soon as possible, and set August 10 as the return date. The move is intended to show Crowe that the stadium is about to be put into operation.
So far, Barcelona has obtained 58 million euros from the transfer of operating rights of 457 VIP seats at the Camp Nou Stadium. Among them, Forta Advisors Limited paid 28 million euros, while New Era Visionary Group paid 30 million euros. However, 42 million euros remain unreached. To avoid repeating Libero's mistakes in Barcelona's vision, the club is trying to find investors willing to bear the remaining amount, but the progress is not going well.
