Sport: Barcelona run into problems regarding Kessie deal due to financial situation

It appears as though Barcelona have run into problems in trying to register Franck Kessie ahead of his proposed free transfer, a report claims.

It seems like Kessié’s farewell towards Barcelona was certain as Fabrizio Romano gave his famous ‘here we go’ in March and claimed that after a verbal agreement was reached between Kessie’s entourage and Barcelona a few days ago, the Ivorian has now officially signed as new Blaugrana player.

According to Sport (via Radio Rossonera) the Blaugrana are not currently in a position to finalise the arrival of the Ivorian because of the club’s precarious financial situation, which prevents them from registering new signings.

Therefore, if Barcelona want to sign him they will have to find a way to remedy this situation, though certain plans such as selling a stake in the club’s in-house media studios to raise revenues have been touted.
