The cap rose. The cage didn’t.
English desks have the salary-cap recovery — or Negreira. We have Olivé’s January surplus.
English desks either celebrate the salary-cap recovery or dig Negreira for a City-style punishment. The live graph is colder.
Post-summer LCPD put Barcelona at €582.769m — second behind Real Madrid at €832.786m, up about €150m from €432.807m, and back on 1:1. Two weeks later Ferran Olivé (SER, 23 September): January surplus only €3–4m — “for someone to come in, someone has to leave.” An Álvarez-scale move without sales is off the board.
What still bites is Liga economic control on registration, not a fresh Negreira sentence this week. Soft: Negreira investigation continues; no new verdict or sanction this week; UEFA procedure still suspended — do not invent charges, bans, or points.
See what others miss.
