After months of talking about Barcelona’s new sponsorship deal with Nike as the deal to turn around its financial situation, it appears president Joan Laporta has a long way to go before finding the club back on the right track financially. The economic leverage agreements he made in 2021 continue to haunt the club.
The Blaugrana are currently struggling to find the money to register Dani Olmo before January, or face not being able to play him for the rest of the season. However, Relevo details that there are more problems on the horizon for Barcelona. Despite declaring losses of 91 million euros this season, of which 100 million are due to the non-payment of 150 million of their 200 million euro sale for 49% of Barça Vision, more losses are on the way if they cannot find more investors.
The potential signing of Jonathan David seems to be eluding him. Tottenham Hotspur have made him a significant offer and, although he is open to waiting for now, his patience will not last indefinitely. @sport

They say €100m more should hit the books as a result of the deal this season, but with no sign of any investors willing to pay, that seems unlikely to happen. The double blow is that Barcelona values the entire Barça Vision at 408 million euros, of which 51% is still under its control, but if it does not find someone to pay the 150 million euros for the rest of the 49% sold this season, then the value of the 51% they own will also be reduced to its “real” value, causing significant losses that could be around €200 million.
Laporta has preached calm when signing up players, ensuring that there will be no problems registering Olmo, but that contradicts all the information coming out of the Catalan capital. Likewise, he positively rated their financial results during the Club’s general assembly, pointing out that without Barça Vision’s losses, they would have made profits. However, three years later, financial levers continue to hamper the club, which initially allowed the club to invest in Jules Kounde, Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha.
