According to Marca and reported by Hupu, La Liga has informally notified clubs that Barcelona will operate under the 1:1 financial rule for the current transfer window. This allows the club to reinvest 100% of player sale revenue into new signings, unlike previous restrictions where only half or a quarter could be used. Barcelona achieved this through new sponsorship deals and strict transfer spending controls, including sales of players like Ansu Fati and Iñaki Peña, freeing around €58 million in salary space. The change resolves past registration issues for players like Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor. However, it does not permit unlimited spending; instead, it normalizes market operations for the club. With restored flexibility, Barcelona can now pursue signings like Anthony Gordon and continue efforts for Julián Álvarez.
