La Liga are likely to appeal the decision, and have now taken action on the matter. Either way, it looks like Gavi will finally get his hands on Barcelona have been desperate to register the new contract of Gavi ever since the wonderkid midfielder re-signed until 2026 with the club.

That attitude effectively means it isn't important whether Gavi has a release clause or not, nor how high it is an attempt to deter new money outfits such as Paris Saint Germain and Manchester City. [report ](https://www.marca.com/futbol/barcelona/2023/01/31/63d910ecca47418a238b45e3.html)from MARCA, a failure to register Gavi by 23:59 this evening would scrap any release clause and make him available for free to any club that wishes to acquire his services. A failure to register Gavi's new FC Barcelona contract on January 31 could result in the youngster's release clause being reduced to zero and would make him able to join a rival club for free, according to the Spanish media.

As rivals haggled over prices on the final day of the transfer window, Barcelona found a new way around the Spanish league's financial rules.

Barcelona has largely been an outlier in failing to stay within the designated spending cap, which is calculated as a percentage of each team’s earnings from its soccer operations. Lots of it, in fact, under a program in which Barcelona sold club assets — including years of commercial rights — to outside investors. “If the court tells us to register Gavi, we will,” a league spokesman said. [persuaded a local commercial court](https://www.fcbarcelona.com/en/club/news/3042619/fc-barcelona-statement?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=fcbarcelona&utm_campaign=b0b2f7f0-5cea-40c3-b683-58e1e70e6576) to require Spanish league officials to register Gavi, an 18-year-old midfielder, before the trading window closed at midnight. The Spanish league, known as La Liga, was not represented in the hearing. And so Barcelona turned to a hometown court, and on Tuesday it got the ruling it sought.

A commercial court in Barcelona has "urged" LaLiga to register Gavi's new contract as a first-team player.

"So now, with the departures of Gerard [Pique], Memphis [Depay] and Hector, I think a signing would be very welcome. "We won't sign for the sake of signing, though. I am happy with the squad I have, but if the right opportunity comes up, we will take it. "Hector will leave and I want to thank him because he has been an example and always shown a good attitude. 6 jersey](https://twitter.com/FCBarcelona_cat/status/1620476022159462400) on Tuesday -- the same number worn by Barca manager Xavi Hernandez during his playing days at Camp Nou.

The Catalan club improved its financial situation recently but still struggled to comply with the Spanish league's strict fair-play rules.

Real Madrid is in a better situation financially, but also isn’t likely to add anyone to its squad other than Brazilian teenage sensation Endrick from Palmeiras, who was signed on a deal that will see him join the club when he turns 18 in 2024. Getting the 18-year-old to the first team is crucial for Barcelona to keep him from having the option of leaving for free in the summer. First, though, Barcelona wanted to give young star Gavi a first-team contract, and register defenders Ronald Araújo and Marcos Alonso after they renewed their deals with the club.

Barcelona announced Gavi would wear Xavi's former No.6 effective immediately even as La Liga tries to block his registration as a senior player.

But a Spanish court has since ruled that La Liga must allow the 18-year-old's new senior contract to take effect and let him wear the famous No.6 - previously donned by manager Xavi. THE BIGGER PICTURE: Barcelona's shaky financial situation has been well-documented, and a group stage exit from the Champions League hasn't helped matters. The action reportedly took Barcelona by surprise.

That means should the judge reach a final ruling that Gavi should not be registered, then Gavi could in theory leave the club on a free next summer. However Barcelona went to court with the case in the Catalan capital and came out with a temporary ruling, while the case takes place.
