Recently, Javier Gomez, head of La Liga economic control department, talked about Badeji's registration storm. He said that Barcelona's registration of Badeji on the B-squad does not mean that he can play for the first team.
Barcelona club took an important action: registering Badji to the Catalan Football Association's B-squad, which is obviously to circumvent the La Liga salary cap restrictions, but it does not seem to succeed easily. At a media conference before the market closed, Gomez responded: "I have not received any relevant news at the moment. Today they have time to complete the registration until midnight. This does not mean that what you said does not exist or that he has registered."
Gomez explained that although this operation is not enough to solve the problem, it is indeed a smart strategy to buy more time for the club and possibly solve the salary cap problem in the next few days. According to regulations, if a player holds the registration qualification of Team B and wants to play on behalf of the first team, the club must apply for a visa from La Liga. Gomez revealed he is not sure if Barcelona has made the request.
He further explained the process: "If a young man plays football in the club's youth team and you want him to play for the first team, then you need to apply for a visa, just like a stamp. Before stamping, we will check out a notice in 2022, how much salary will he earn? If his salary is close to the standards of a B team player, then there is no problem with the visa. But if his salary is closer to the standards of a first team player, then he needs to calculate it according to the standards of a first team player, which cannot be a loophole to escape the rules of fair play."
In this case, if Badji does not meet the requirements of economic control, Barcelona still has a chance. Gomez pointed out: "If you want us to approve his visa, you have to make him meet the first team's fair play standards, which can be done later."
That is to say, although Badge has been registered with the B team, this does not guarantee that he can play for the first team immediately. If La Liga rejects his visa, Barcelona will have more time to adjust their salary cap in the coming weeks so he can play under Frick's command.
