Barcelona have revealed they have 50 million Euros to spend in the transfer market before the end of the transfer window. The Spanish giants were forced to seal a five-year 155 million Euros loan on Wednesday in order to resolve long-term cash-flow problems.

Since June Barca have had issues regarding player and staff wages and new president Sandro Rosell has set about resolving the club's finances.

The Catalans have already secured a move for former Valencia striker David Villa this summer, for 40 million Euros, while there is the ongoing transfer saga with Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas.

Spain midfielder Fabregas was forced into a Barca shirt by team-mates during his country's World Cup celebrations, and the La Liga champions will be hoping their transfer budget will be enough to lure him to the Nou Camp.

"The club has approximately 50 million euros net to spend on new players each season," said a statement on the club's official website.

"In the case of this season, buying David Villa (40 million Euros) combined with the sales of Yaya Toure and Dmytro Chygrynskiy balance themselves out.

"This means the club still has 50 million Euros to spend."

Barca have already had a bid of 35 million Euros (£29m) for Fabregas rejected by the Gunners, and they are expected to up that offer.

It remains to be seen if funds from further player sales will be added to the kitty, as speculation regarding the futures of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Rafael Marquez continues.
