FC Barcelona remains a club that wants to be active on the transfer market, despite a financial situation that remains complicated. Recently, for example, the Catalan press explained that the Blaugranas had an eye on the LOSC revelation, Tiago Santos. Will the Culés manage to recruit him? The future will tell us.
Still, Barça must not forget that it owes money to several teams in the context of old transfers. Like any club, the Blaugranas do not recruit their players in cash and plan for staggered payments. And tonight, Sport reminds us that Barça’s balance sheet as of June 30, 2024 indicates that Joan Laporta and his team owe no less than €147.6 million!
Barça must recover €23 million
Concretely, Barça still owes €45 million in the short term and €102.6 million in the long term. The Catalan daily specifies that the current leader of the Liga standings still owes €21 million to Bayern for the transfer of Robert Lewandowski. For its part, Leeds must still recover €42.559 million for the sale of Raphinha. Finally, Barça still owes €24.5 million to Sevilla for Jules Koundé and €26 million to Manchester City for Ferran Torres.
Also note that the Catalan club must also recover money. But the quantity is less. Thus, Barça expects to receive €23 million in the more or less long term. Betis owes him €4.8 million for Chadi Riad and €2.3 million for Abde. Atlético must pay €3.3 million for the return of Antoine Griezmann to the capital, Al Ahli must pay €4 million for Kessié and FC Porto must pay €3 million for the transfer of Nico.
