Didac Aguirre The reason why Real Madrid can sign and register players while Barça faces problems
The main reason why Barcelona doesn't have the same ease in signing players as Real Madrid
The latest signings made by Real Madrid have been a statement of their intentions for the upcoming season. By significantly strengthening their squad, Real Madrid has managed to sign Huijsen, Arnold, Mastantuono, and soon Carreras. These operations, in total, exceed €100 million (over $108 million) for Real Madrid.
An astonishing amount that shows Real Madrid's great financial solvency. However, this millionaire spending has raised some doubts about the ease with which Real Madrid can sign players, an advantage Barcelona doesn't have. The blaugrana team, facing a severe financial crisis, has had several seasons with problems registering players.
The reason behind this is that Real Madrid has a salary cap that exceeds their wage bill by more than €200 million (over $216 million). This means that Real Madrid, even with millionaire signings, wouldn't have any of Barcelona's problems.
The difference between Real Madrid and Barcelona
One of Real Madrid's main characteristics for several years has been the extreme care they take with their finances. While Real Madrid has continued to make important signings, the club has always been careful with their wage bill. By giving more than fair salaries to all their players, Real Madrid has always prioritized this issue.
This is something that Barcelona, for quite a few seasons, has never taken care of, giving impressive salaries even to their youngest players. With an exaggerated wage bill, this is the main reason why the Culers can't sign players as easily.
Needing to be extremely careful with every move they make, Barcelona can't sign all the players they need. This is a clear consequence of the poor management that began with Bartomeu and that Laporta has kept.
The mediocrity of Barcelona
Despite returning to their old ways, this hasn't been enough for Barcelona to achieve more solvency to sign players. Widely surpassed by Real Madrid, this situation shows the superiority the club has always had over Barcelona.
