Like always, the average football fan does not understand the financial situation of Barcelona. Do you people really believe Barcelona is so broke they can't afford 60 million players? Have you guys forgotten so soon how much they signed Raphinha and Kounde, how about Lewandoski? Barcelona is broke, but it doesn't mean they can't make any signings at all.
What would be a problem for Barcelona is making the wrong signings. I see reports that they have submitted bids for both Nico Williams and Dani Olmo. It's justifiable to make Nico a priority, but Olmo? They need a DM before anything else and they should put that money into signing a DM instead.
I believe Barcelona will make signings this summer, but they have to be careful not to sign players that they don't really need.
Yes Barcelona have more than €100M to spend on anything but the financial constraints isn’t about the money you have but the restrictions are placed on them that you can’t spend them. Barcelona have this money to buy players but the financial restrictions gives them some benchmark mark not to spend beyond some certain amount and that includes players wages too. So soemtimes you might see them complaining not to been able to spend like 60M on players buy except sale.
In the issue of signings like Lewandowski, the amount wasn’t payed in one payment but splitted into years to be paid, same with other signings too. This was also coupled with the fact that most senior players had to take a pay cut to continue playing and help the club to sign players. So it is still same issue with this Nico and Olmo deals. They might have the money but they can’t spend it, due to UEFA and FIFA bench mark
