#1. Recent spendings and wage demands
Only a very few clubs in Europe can be compared with FC Barcelona when it comes to analyzing and contrasting how much they splashed on the acquisition of players recently.
The club has spent heavily during the past few transfer windows, evidently coughing out around €300 million on the acquisition of both Ousmane Dembele and Philippe Coutinho before spending over €130 million on the likes of Arthur Melo, Arturo Vidal, Clement Lenglet and Malcolm during the summer.
Considering the big sum of money the club splashed out on signings recently and the huge salary demands at the Nou Camp at the moment, it would be an unwise decision for the club to make more signings in January, not to talk about the threat posed by Financial Fair Play regulations (FFP).
