All factors combined, a fixed salary cap was stringently implemented that had to be met at all costs.
One must remember that this is without considering the players with whom the side has a contractual obligation but who are unregistered, like Sergio Aguero, Memphis Depay, Eric Garcia and Emerson Royal. Despite being players of the club, they are yet to be registered. To make the deal possible, Laporta had to finalize player sales.
