Lewandowski still not allowed to play because Barca don’t have the money

Lewandowski not allowed to play: Due to its bad economic situation, FC Barcelona is currently unable to get eligibility for newcomers Robert Lewandowski (33) and Raphinha (25) in LaLiga. The Catalans, who are in debt with 1.3 billion euros, have now sold 15 percent of their broadcasting rights to LaLiga for the next 25 years to the investment company “Sixth Street”, reports “Transfermarkt”.

Second deal with “Sixth Street”: But several Spanish media agree that even this second deal with “Sixth Street”, bringing in 330 million euros, is not enough to register all the newcomers. Previously, Barcelona had already sold ten percent of the broadcasting rights to the same investment company for 220 million euros.

LaLiga sets budget limit: Every year, the Spanish league sets a budget limit for each club based on the business figures, which the cash-strapped Catalans still exceed. Barcelona would therefore have to sell even more players or shares in order to be able to register all new signings in LaLiga. So the ex-Bayern star has to wait.
