According to new information from the Spanish press, FC Barcelona’s debt has been revealed and it’s not good for the club’s future.
FC Barcelona is currently going through one of the most difficult financial moments in its long history. It was just revealed that they owe too much money despite the dream transfer plans they have for next season. Joan Laporta is already telling his closest colleagues that he will do everything in his power to bring four players to the club. However, today’s information doesn’t go in line with what the president has in mind.
As you all know, the global pandemic affected every single club in the world. But FC Barcelona was especially affected because they were only living with what they made on a daily basis. That’s how they paid the salaries of all their players and staff. When the world stopped, they didn’t get any money at all and that’s what made things impossible. As it turns out, the club’s losses for this season will be around €350 million that will jeopardize Laporta’s plans.
How and when will Barcelona recover?
According to the mathematical model reported by Cadena SER from Catalunya, the club won’t recover properly until the 2022-23 exercise. They are convinced that the club will remain indebted next year as well but it all depends on how Laporta manages the situation. His plan will be to sign three of those four players for free, plus buy a world-class star with the money the club makes after selling several players.
Inside the list of possible exits we have names like Phil Coutinho, Antoine Griezmann, amongst other players. Also, there is a master plan to start trusting more La Masia players over the next five years in order to renew the whole squad. However, the absolute top priority is none other than trying to convince Leo Messi to sign a new contract. If this doesn’t happen, the club might not recover as quickly from this.
