Report: Mbappe Frustrated Over Unpaid Wages From PSG
Having triggered some economic levers during the middle of the year, the Catalan giants were able to balance the books and once again have the club in a stable financial position.
To counteract the losses Barca's previous regime had made and to be able to adhere to LaLiga's financial fair play rules, the Spanish outfit sold 25 of their domestic television rights and a 49% stake in Barca Studios for more than €700 million (R12.5 billion).
Despite putting the club back in a healthy position monetarily, the Blaugrana chief insists they will have to cease spending during the upcoming window to not breach LaLiga's financial fair play policy.
"We had to make some levers, which were economic operations that saved the club from ruin, and now the club is in economic recovery," Laporta told Spanish news outlet EFE.
"But despite that, according to the rules of financial fair play of the Spanish league, we cannot sign.
"Us and some other LaLiga clubs are also trying to convince LaLiga to be more flexible, and allow us other types of interpretations that can make Barcelona even stronger."

The Spaniard also urged that all European leagues adopt this model of financial fair play in order to disrupt the disparities that has occurred in the spending power that certain football teams have.
"It is more flexible in the Premier League than in Spain and it doesn't make much sense to me," Laporta added.
