Deco, the sporting director of football for Barcelona, has revealed the challenges the Spanish champions face in bolstering their squad during the upcoming January transfer window, citing their financial constraints as a significant hurdle.
As things stand, Barcelona finds themselves exceeding La Liga’s strict spending cap of €270 million ($285 million) for the season. This limitation restricts them to investing only about 50% of the funds they generate or save, making it a daunting task to make significant moves in the transfer market.
Previously, ESPN had reported that Xavi Hernandez, the head coach, has a desire to strengthen his squad further, particularly by adding a defensive midfielder.
