Zapping Our Mondial Hugo Lloris: The great dates in blue
This summer, Barça once again had its hands tied in the transfer window. Faced with finances still in the red, and sales which were unsuccessful, the club had to settle for a single recruit, with the arrival of Dani Olmo, the Spanish international from RB Leipzig for around 50 million euros. For the rest, the club will have to wait until next summer, if not longer. Because even if Joan Laporta affirms everywhere he goes that the accounts are better, his team still has to settle numerous checks which have not yet been cleared, as revealed this morning by the daily Sport.
150 million receivables
In the short term, the Blaugrana still have to pay 45 million euros in transfers spread over several years at the time of the agreements. And in the long term, it’s 102.6 million euros. For example, the Catalans still have to write checks to… seven clubs for Robert Lewandowski: Bayern Munich (10.4 million in the short term and 10.6 million in the long term) Legia Warsaw, Lech Poznan, Delta Warsaw , Znicz, MKS Warszawa and Borussia Dortmund. Among the other big debts to be settled, the Raphinha case, with money to be paid to Sporting de Portugal, Stade de Rennais and Vitoria. But also Jules Koundé with 24.5 million euros in the long term for Sevilla FC and small sums for the Girondins and La Brède. Suffice to say that all financial problems are far from over.
To summarize
Barça will still have to take out the credit card to settle matters which will not improve the financial stability of the team. Indeed, the Catalans still have to pay 150 million euros in transfers.
