2:25pm, 12 October 2025Football
"World Sports News" reported that Laporta's term has become the worst economic period in Barcelona's history.
This is not an opinion, but data from the club. In the past two seasons, Barcelona ended with a loss of 197 million euros, and this is after taking into account the 70 million euros in revenue from VIP box sales over the next 30 years. Even if they sell future assets at a low price, they still cannot maintain balance of payments, and the club's expenses have increased by 11% instead of cutting, and the financial hole continues to expand.
According to Article 67 of the club's charter, two consecutive financial years with losses means the board of directors should be removed for endangering the club's financial stability, but this will not happen now because Laporta has prompted representatives to pass a resolution suspending this protective measure.
The total of the past five seasons shows that Barcelona has accumulated losses of 230 million euros, and this is based on the premise that it has sold future assets worth 860 million euros (including television broadcast rights, Barcelona studios, VIP boxes, etc.), which should have been gradually realized in the next 30 years. Comprehensive losses and asset sales, they have consumed 1.1 billion euros, but even so, they are still unable to register players, negative net assets increased to 153 million euros, the working capital gap further worsened to 266 million euros (217 million last year), and short-term debt is higher than accounts receivable.
The club's debt has climbed to 2.6 billion euros. Although the current situation requires austerity measures, the management committee's salary has increased by 18% this year, totaling 6.6 million euros, an increase of 1 million euros from last year. This means that even if the club is losing money, the management still gets higher income.
