Since then, the German international has continued his adaptation with the Blaugrana and played his first friendly matches. And yet, in the current state of things, he will not be able to be aligned on August 13 once morest Getafe on the occasion of the 1st day of La Liga! Like other recruits Iñigo Martínez and Oriol Romeu and other extended players like Ronald Araujo and Alejandro Baldé, the ex-Citizen has not yet been registered with La Liga. Blame it on Spanish financial fair play and Barça’s excessive payroll, which must reduce it to get into the nails or, failing that, find other recipes.
Gündogan available for 0€?
Unlike the other players mentioned, Gündogan and his representatives have however included a special clause in his lease. This stipulates that, if his registration is not finalized by August 12, the official date of the launch of the new season of the Spanish championship, the native of Gelsenkirchen will have the possibility of canceling his contract and joining a free new club until August 31, reveals the newspaper AS. Even if nothing says that the German will wish to activate this clause, the rookie would start to get impatient.
⚠️Barça still haven’t registered Gündogan and only have 9 days left to do so before the German’s contract is canceled due to an inserted clause!

To experience the same happy ending, the reigning Spanish champion is trying to activate as last summer a new economic lever. In particular, there is talk of selling 16% of Barça Studios for 60 million euros. Except that, for now, the German investment fund interested in the takeover would have withdrawn its offer. In this case, the only alternative might be to use the €25m received for the imminent sale of Ousmane Dembélé to Paris Saint-Germain…
