Red light at Camp Nou: Barça at a loss of 1,35 billion euros
For the 2020/21 season, Blaugrana reported a loss of 481 million euros. Also, the budget for the new season has been reduced. From the initial 791 million, it is now 765 million.
According to the latest information, the multiple European champion has a total debt of about 1,35 billion euros.
Barcelona also had significantly lower incomes last season. The main reason is the fact that the audience was not allowed to return to the stands in December, the matches were played in empty stadiums throughout the season due to the coronavirus pandemic.
On October 6, the president of the club, Joan Laporta, will present the results of the audit, while the meeting with the shareholders is scheduled for October 16 and 17.
In order to improve the situation as much as possible, Barcelona reduced the income of the players, and they were not able to extend the contract with Lionel Messi. Antoine Griezmann, who returned to Atletico Madrid, also left the team at the end of the transfer window.
