 12:37pm, 2 September 2025

Recently, La Liga general manager Javier Gomez was interviewed by "Marca" when the summer transfer window was closed, explaining the situation of the league and club.

Regarding Getafe's situation

"The rules are approved by the club, and everyone knows them and needs to be followed. Getafe will try to adapt and we will see the results by midnight today."

Regarding competition with the Premier League "The data does not support this statement, who has dominated European football in the past decade, who has won the championship, how the Spanish team performs, these data tell the whole story. La Liga clubs decided not to spend more than they earn and limit shareholders' investment. La Liga investment is about 600 million euros, close to the level of the Bundesliga."

"The Premier League's revenue is twice as much as we do, but they spend more than three times the amount, and those that are unbalanced are other leagues. La Liga clubs want a sustainable competitive environment, which is what they do What they want is also what they want, and the current success is still there. "

Questions about whether Barcelona complies with the 1/1 rule

"We will not comment on whether the club is doing right or wrong, we just apply the rules, if the rules are met, they will pass, and if they do not comply, they will not pass. We do not evaluate the management of the club, but are only responsible for implementing the rules."

Regarding the possibility of early closing of the transfer window

"The data shows that there will still be transactions until the end of August. We think the current arrangement is appropriate, and the way the Spanish club operates is the most important to us."

Regarding the registration issue of Badge's B team

Gomez said that the specific situation is not clear, but emphasized that players must complete registration before midnight and need to apply for a visa to play for the first team.

About 600 million euros transfer expenditures "around the same as last year, with a floating up and down around 20 million euros."

Slow motion mechanism for transfer operations "This is the third season to implement this policy, and there are seven or eight clubs using this mechanism. Slow motion is not unlimited, it also requires support from the principle of fair play. Some clubs are monitored for two seasons, which means we have to set a limit for two seasons for them."
