LaLiga president Javier Tebas has explained why Barcelona cannot register Gavi's new contract.
Tebas warned that they will not be able to register the young midfielder next season either if they do not reverse their economic situation.
"The issue of not registering Gavi comes as a consequence of [the contact] taking effect next season," said Tebas, who issued a warning to Bara. "For next year, [the registration] can be denied because Bara has a deficit of more than 200 million for next season. It doesn't seem appropriate."
The LaLiga president analysed Bara's situation: "Now they have an amount [within their salary limit] ater the savings on Piqu and Memphis. Bara must decide [what they do], but it is important to remember what Bara's vice-president said, that they have to decrease the wage bill. I think from 600m to 400m or a little bit more, let's see."
LaLiga has also blocked the first-team registrations of Ronald Araujo and Alejandro Balde and has now also denied the registration of Marcos Alonso's renewal contract.
