Barcelona will not be able to register their summer signings Sergio Aguero, Eric Garcia, Emerson Royal and Memphis Depay for the 2021/22 season unless they reduce their wage bill by €187m, according to RAC1.
Moreover, Barca will also be unable to extend Lionel Messi's contract for the same reason after the 34-year-old hit the free agency on June 30.
Barca's current disastrous situation has been caused by the club's losses of €350m in the 2020/21 season - something that reduced their wage cap from €347m in the previous campaign to €160m for the forthcoming season, as per the reliable Spanish source.
The Catalans have already sold Konrad de la Fuente, Jean-Clair Todibo and Junior Firpo this summer but up to 10 players, including Antione Griezmann and Ousmane Dembele, are expected to be sold in the following weeks.
