Javier Tebas says Barcelona are on the right track to meet 1:1 rule requirements | OneFootball

Recent reports coming from FC Barcelona suggest that the Blaugranes have some high ambitions for the upcoming summer transfer window, as they would be looking to strengthen several areas of their team ahead of the next season.

In this regard, the Catalans would be looking primarily to bring in a new center-back and a center-forward, while the flanks and the wings can also be reinforced with new signings.

But to be able to register their signed players, Barcelona would have to return to the 1:1 status. Speaking during his appearance at the Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell, as Mundo Deportivo has reported, La Liga president Javier Tebas was once again asked about Barça’s financial situation and their chances of achieving that status before the summer window.

He said:

“They are on the right track. Whether they will get there by June 30, I don’t know.”

He further clarified the implications of the rule and the club’s position:

When you reach the 1:1 rule, you have to generate income in order to sign players. I don’t know what Barça’s plans are or whether they will reach it.”

Tebas also offered a broadly positive assessment of Barcelona’s recent financial work, highlighting the reduction in costs and improved structural management across the club:

“They are structuring their spending very well, they have made a very significant reduction in sporting costs, not just in football,” he said, adding that Barcelona have now reached the level they “should be at” according to LaLiga’s economic controls.

He concluded:

While Javier Tebas left some room for doubt, one can still hope that FC Barcelona will be able to get the job done and return to 1:1 status before the start of the summer transfer window.
