TA: Rashford s salary is equivalent to Yamal & Lewandowski, Barcelona needs 28 million euros salary space registration

The Athletic wrote an article analyzing whether Barcelona can register for the upcoming Rashford. TA said that Barcelona needs about 28 million euros to register for Rashford.

Currently, Barcelona has exceeded the salary cap for La Liga, and the club's spending on players (including transfer fees and salary) during the 24-25 season exceeds their income. Judging from the current situation, Barcelona cannot register for any newly signed players, including Rashford, goalkeepers Joan Garcia and Szczesni, as well as young winger Badgi.

Barcelona either frees up wage budget space by selling high-paying players on the team, or finds important new sources of income. Barcelona is actively promoting the departure of many players this summer.

left-back Alex Barelle trained by Lamacia transferred to Cuomo for 6 million euros, and Torre joined Mallorca for 5 million euros. Lenglet transfers to Atletico Madrid for free, and Fati is on loan to Monaco.

But Deco's most critical job at the moment is to convince Ter Stegen to leave the team because he is one of the most paid players on the team. If Ter Stegen can be persuaded to leave the team, Joan Garcia and Szczesny may be given priority in registering.

The players who may leave the team in the next few weeks include Christensen, Penia, Romeu, and Victor.

The failure of Barcelona to pay Manchester United to rent will help meet the salary cap policy, because such expenditures also need to be included in restrictions. Barcelona bears Rashford's full salary, and sources close to the deal revealed to The Athletic: Rashford's actual salary cut is between 15% and 25%, depending on the bonus situation.

Rashford's annual salary at Manchester United is 19.5 million euros (including bonuses). After the salary cut, Barcelona's annual salary will be about 14 million euros (excluding bonuses), and is still tied with Yamal and Lewandowski in the team's maximum salary camp. This means that Barcelona will need to free up about 28 million euros of salary space (tax included).

In addition, the new contract signed by Barcelona with Yamal this summer will also be included in the accounting scope of the La Liga financial team, and its high salary will also reduce the registration space of other players.

If the registration is not completed in La Liga, players will not be able to represent Barcelona in any event, including the league, the Copa del Rey, the Champions League, etc. TA said that the core reason why Nico asked Barcelona for protection and chose to stay in Biba after not receiving the approval was that the players could not bear the risk of being hiding all season.
