According to Sport, FC Barcelona has increased its financial room this summer through player sales and salary adjustments. The club's available "fair play" financial limit has now risen to approximately €69.5 million.

FC Barcelona has more financial flexibility in the final days of the summer transfer window compared to previous years. The club currently has approximately €69.5 million in available fair play financial room, which should be enough for the team to sign additional players before the market closes.

According to calculations, Barcelona started this summer with approximately €65 million in available space. They then increased it by €120 million, bringing the total available budget for the summer transfer window to €185 million. Around €114.5 million has been spent so far, leaving approximately €69.5 million remaining.

Sales of Hector Fort and Nico González

The latest update brings two additional revenue sources. The first comes from Hector Fort's transfer, with the deal expected to be completed within hours for €8 million.

The second comes from a sell-on clause following Nico González's move to Newcastle United. FC Barcelona will receive 4% of the transfer fee, approximately €2.4 million, which has already been factored into these calculations.

However, the most significant change does not come from these two transactions.

The most important improvement concerns how savings are calculated following player departures.

Previously, FC Barcelona only counted unpaid salaries after a player's departure as salary savings. However, in the club's annual expense accounting, the annual amortization of a player's transfer fee also counts as an expense.

Therefore, when a player leaves FC Barcelona, the savings should include two items: salary and annual amortization of the transfer fee.

The article uses Ferran Torres as an example: if the transfer fee is hypothetically €50 million and €10 million remains unamortized, the accounting gain would be €40 million. At the same time, the player's departure also frees up his salary, as well as the €10 million amortization expense corresponding to the final year of his contract.

This adjustment adds approximately €10 million to the previously calculated available space.

Room to Sign Defensive Players

This is crucial for the team's signings. Based on these calculations, FC Barcelona has enough room to sign defensive players for nearly €40 million and may not even need to use the entire budget allocated for midfield and attacking positions.

This situation could continue to improve.

Barcelona's new sponsorship deal with EgyptAir could provide an additional €4 million in financial room if it was not previously factored in. However, it remains unclear whether the club has already included this revenue in the budget, so it cannot be counted in the current calculations.

Casado's Departure Could Further Increase Available Space

Marc Casado's situation remains open. If the midfielder is sold, the financial impact would be significant, as he is a academy graduate and nearly the entire transfer fee could count as profit.

According to estimates, if Casado leaves, FC Barcelona could gain an additional €25 million to €30 million in available fair play financial room.

FC Barcelona remains under the 1:1 rule, which is important because the club can fully reinvest the freed-up space into new signings.
