Joan Laporta says Barcelona will be able to sign players normally in January
Barcelona president Joan Laporta is confident the Catalans will be able to sign players normally when the January transfer window rolls around.
The club struggled to bring in players this summer, notably top target Nico Williams, due to their continued financial issues.
However, Laporta says thinks will be different in January as the club will be back to the 1:1 rule.
“Yes [we will be able to sign players normally in January], because we plan to arrive at LaLiga’s 1:1 rule before then,” he told a press conference.
“When you say sign, we can sign players, the problem is the registration with the league. It will be easier once we reach the 1:1 rule.
“For now, though, we’re not thinking of any players because we are happy with the squad we have. But Deco and his team are working hard to analyse what’s needed medium and long-term.
“We are satisfied with what we have. Dani Olmo was the priority and we have signed him. I said we could make a big signing and that has proven true.”
Barcelona did manage to sign Dani Olmo at least this summer, with the new signing have made a bright start to life back at the club by scoring two in two games.
