In the sports field, Barça is experiencing one of its most exciting seasons in recent years. With Hansi Flick, the team has regained solidity, competitiveness, and confidence. Currently, Barça is leading La Liga, is in the Copa final, already has the Spanish Super Cup, and is qualified for the Champions League quarter-finals.
The results speak for themselves. Flick has managed the squad well, enhanced talents like Lamine Yamal and Pau Cubarsí, and restored an offensive identity to the team. The fans are dreaming again of a treble that seemed unattainable at the start of the season.
Big Signings in Danger
Despite the success on the field, the club remains stuck with financial Fair Play. La Liga has confirmed that Barça continues to exceed its salary limit, which could seriously complicate the planning of the next transfer market. This situation, far from being solved, once again limits the board's room for maneuver.
Specifically, major operations like the signing of Luis Díaz, the Colombian winger from Liverpool, could be suspended if the club fails to generate income or reduce the wage bill. Although Barça wants to keep growing sports-wise, economically it remains tied, and that can endanger even key strategic decisions for the future.
Manchester City, Liverpool, and Big Clubs on Alert
This situation indirectly affects one of the club's major priorities, which is to secure Lamine Yamal's future. The 17-year-old winger is destined to be one of the best players in the world. His performance this season has been spectacular, accumulating 13 goals and 19 assists.
With a contract until 2026, Lamine will want to play surrounded by the best and have a salary commensurate with his importance. If the club can't strengthen the team due to a lack of economic margin, or doesn't offer him a salary increase in time, Europe's big clubs will be very alert. Manchester City and Liverpool are already closely following his situation, according to El Nacional.
Lamine Yamal Has a Renewal Agreement, but Fair Play Is Still Exceeded
The good news is that his renewal is agreed upon until 2030 with Jorge Mendes for when he turns 18 in July. Barça and the player's entourage have reached a preliminary agreement that includes a progressive salary increase. However, to make this renewal effective, the club needs to have room in the Fair Play.
The club conveys calmness, but it is also admitted that the situation must be solved as soon as possible. Securing Lamine Yamal is an absolute priority to ensure Barça's sporting future. The talent is already there; now it's time to protect it with an economic and sporting structure that accompanies it.
