Barça is expected to announce two new signings in the coming days.
Barcelona are set to announce Franck Kessie and Andreas Christensen in the coming days, according to Fabrizio Romano. Barcelona, on the other hand, has agreed to terms with Franck Kessie and Andreas Christensen. However, neither player has been formally declared by the club. Both players will be signed on a free transfer by the Blaugrana after their contracts with Chelsea and AC Milan expire.
Because of Barcelona's dire financial situation, neither player's transfer has been officially finalized. Only after a few players are released will Christensen and Kessie be registered. The club is currently insolvent. They had trouble signing Ferran Torres from Manchester City in January before using some financial maneuvers to bring him on board.
According to the Spanish news site Diario AS, the Blaugrana intend to announce the signings of Christensen and Kessie soon because they are confident that they can accommodate both in their pay allocation. Barcelona is now constrained by La Liga's 'one in four' rule, which allows them to spend €1 million for every €4 million saved.
Manager Xavi may have to release a few more players and reduce their pay budget in order to announce the additions of Christensen and Kessie. This highlights the club's current precarious situation and calls into question the club's recent signings of stars such as Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha.
Lewandowski, in particular, has been linked to Barcelona and is eager to sign with them after leaving Bayern Munich. However, special efforts would be required for the Blaugrana to complete both of these transactions during the same transfer window.

According to Goal, Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham, who is valued at around £100 million, is'more than intrigued' by the prospect of joining Liverpool.
This is consistent with what The Mirror reported last month, which stated that Jurgen Klopp's new contract extension will make life at Anfield much more appealing for the 19-year-old. Former Liverpool left-back Jose Enrique responded to a report about Bellingham joining the Merseysiders by saying he is "100 percent confident" the player would want to join Klopp's side, but that the transfer fee could be a problem.
Liverpool is interested in signing Bellingham. And it's not because the player is a lifelong Liverpool fan. It's because they have the potential to be fantastic for each other.
Bellingham will want and need a manager like Klopp to guide him to the next stage of his development. In the long run, Liverpool will need a generational midfielder to replace Jordan Henderson.
With Naby Keita prone to injury, Thiago approaching 30 years old, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain blowing hot and cold for years, the German manager needs a consistent, ever-present, and exceptional midfielder.
