Good news to come for the Girondins de Bordeaux in the financial slump that the Aquitaine club is going through; FC Barcelona still owes money to the Marines, to settle the transfer of Jules Koundé. If it is probable, if not obvious, that the leaders of the scapular team have provided for it in the accounts since the debt is old, this remains a positive line in the club’s fragile economic balance sheet. Moreover, one that weighs, given the sum and what it represents on the scale of a team now resident at National 2.
New money to come for Girondins de Bordeaux who lack it
It is the annual financial report of the Blaugrana club, as of June 30 for the 2023-2024 financial year, which highlights the amount to come. There are no specific dates, just short and longer term deadlines. In the case of Jules Koundé, between the balance of the solidarity mechanism and possible clauses included in his transfer from FCGB to Sevilla FC in 2019 (the exact detail is not indicated, only the sum is), the Bordelais will receive in two installments, a first payment of 359,000 euros. Then another, later, of the same amount.
Just over €700,000 to FCGB and even more to come for FC Sevilla
FC Barcelona still has to pay 24.5 million euros to the Andalusian club, from which it recruited the French international defender in 2022, for almost fifty million euros. He also owes twice 80,000 euros to the amateur club La Brède FC, which plays in Regional 2, which Jules Koundé attended at the start of his adolescence.
In total, the Catalan leaders have to pay almost 150 million euros to different clubs for player recruits. Conversely, they hope for 23.5 million euros, for contract transfers.
