Why can't Barcelona register their summer signings yet? Explaining their financial crunch before LaLiga start

There have been player presentations almost every week at Barcelona this summer. July began with the unveiling ceremonies of Franck Kessie and Andreas Christensen, two players signed on free transfers. Then came Raphinha from Leeds United, Robert Lewandowski from Bayern Munich and Jules Kounde from Sevilla at a cost of over €150 million in combined transfer fees. Sources have told ESPN more signings could follow, too. Chelsea left-back Marcos Alonso is expected to move to Camp Nou and Manchester City's Bernardo Silva remains a target, albeit a slightly more unattainable one at this stage.
