According to Marca, Barcelona may be forced to sell Casado and Fermin to register three people including Badeji.

The transfer market will be officially closed at 12:00 midnight next Monday. Barcelona entered the final stage in a way exactly like the past few transfer windows. There are still players who have not completed registration and there are many uncertainties. Deco is working hard to make room for players to register, but if the 1:1 rule cannot be met, the operation will be extremely difficult. In addition, the impact of the market environment has made the registration work even worse.

There are currently three players to be registered: Szczesny, Gerald Martin and Badge. Among them, Szczesny is the most likely to register directly, because Penia has agreed to loan to Elche, which is currently only awaiting finalization of the final contract text. The cap space it freed will be used to register for Szczesny, the goalkeeper is expected to serve as the No. 2 goalkeeper next Sunday against Vallecano. The registration of Martin and Badge is more complicated, which depends on the departure of Romeu and Ford, and even if the two left the field, the space they freed may not be enough.

The primary solution is to activate the VIP box sales project at Camp Nou Stadium. This 100 million euro "leverage" will immediately restore the 1:1 rule, creating enough financial fair play for all players to register, and even sign new players.

But the approval has been pending since May. The club is selling the remaining VIP private rooms for 42 million euros. After the funds are fully received and the auditing agency approved it, the La Liga still needs final approval. This was an operation that should have been completed since January, but it was delayed until the last moment. At present, no one can guarantee whether it will be approved in the end.

Choose option is to sell players. Casador and Fermin are highly favored by many clubs, with market valuations of 30 million and 50 million euros respectively. Sale of any player can generate enough registration space. But so far, neither of them intends to leave the team.
