Barcelona Are SACRIFICING Their Women’s Team to Save the Men | Financial Fair Play

What's going on at Barcelona Femení? After Jana Fernández’s shocking exit, Barça now only have 17 first-team players, leaving the squad dangerously thin. Well, FC Barcelona are in crisis as for what seems like a 5th summer in a row, they are struggling to register new signings for the men's side. The club is constantly at odds with La Liga's financial fair play (ffp) laws, usually leading to a last minute sale of assets in order to register players. Now though, it's gotten to the point where Barca are LETTING GO of women's players in order to free up salary and costs to register players for the men's side. The contract termination of young star Jana Fernandez has left the European Giants with only 17 first team players—not enough for all the competitions they will have this year. I break down how La Liga’s Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules are punishing Barcelona Women because of the men’s team’s financial mismanagement. From losing Ingrid Engen on a free, to terminating Fridolina Rolfö’s contract, to selling young talents like Onyeka Gamero, the squad is being gutted just to help Barça register new signings for the men’s side. Barcelona Femení still have one of the strongest starting XIs in Europe, but with no depth and multiple players out the door, one injury could derail their entire season.
