In addition to working on building their squad, FC Barcelona also had to take care of their finances throughout this summer transfer window. These two tasks were closely interrelated, as the Blaugranes needed to generate some financial fair play margin to be able to get and register their required players with La Liga.
Things seem to be pretty dire for the Catalans in this FFP regard, as they still have not been able to get their only big signing of this summer, Dani Olmo, registered with La Liga with two matches already having been played in the top Spanish flight.
Barcelona have been trying to get him registered, but La Liga did not give the green light for his registration even after the payment of part of the 40 million from the hospitality and catering service provider, Aramark.
As things stand, the Catalans are still working to achieve a status of financial fair play that will allow them to register Dani Olmo before the team faces Rayo Vallecano on Tuesday.
There has also been a breakthrough achieved by the club in this regard. Mundo Deportivo reports that Barcelona are close to reaching an agreement with the Ukrainian cryptocurrency company, WhiteBIT, to become a shareholder in Barca Vision.
Thus, this organization will contribute some part of the sum that the Catalans were expecting to get from Libero Group.
Like Aramark, WhiteBIT is another global sponsor whose financial contribution can go a long way in easing the financial problems of the Blaugrana entity. This agreement is certainly good news for the fans, but there are only a few days left in the transfer market, and the Catalans will have to conclude more such deals to bring in more reinforcements before the market closes.
