True but they have a few players in crazy wages, three of those I can think of are injury prone umitti, Dembele and Coutinho.. who is doing to want to loan 31 old Coutinho and pay good wages as well. Same as Dembele, who would want to loan a player that's more likely to be injured that fit? Between those three they probably on 600-700k per week alone.I think they will have to manage this as if it’s a relegation. Clear the decks of lots of high-paid players, possibly by putting them out on loan (or sales with buy-back options) and then hope to have the capacity to bring them back in the following year. In the same way a relegated team banks on structuring themselves to have a team that’s just about good enough to get promoted, they’ll have to gamble on a side good enough to qualify for the Champions League. They can forget about winning anything for a while, even in their uncompetitive league.
Heart bleeds.
[article]Barcelona have received an offer for their €1.5bn debt to be paid by a company from the UAE.
El Curubito on 8tv reports the company is willing to purchase Barça's debt with a favourable repayment plan included.
The cited media ensures it would be a good deal for Barça, who would not have to pay anything for two years.
That period could be extended to up to 12 years, while the interest demanded by the company would be very low.
Barça would receive €1.5bn immediately, so they would come out of the "intensive care unit" directors say they're still in and would have the liquidity to make signings, which was not the case last summer.[/article]
The next middle east club.. to go along with City and PSG.I'm sure there is no catch here.
Bad transfer market decisions and ridiculous wages. Probably based on super league income.How on earth did Barca get this fucked?
To be fair, some Soviet ghosts just fucked ghost Franco in the ass to make it a bit more evenThe ghost of Franco is having their pants down. I'd tell everyone to fuck off
I understand how this has happened to Barca, but how the fuck are Madrid still fine. Haven't they wasted just as much money on shite like Hazard, Bale etc

They also won a few Champions Leagues, which will have helped.Nah, from memory they have huge revenues and haven't spent all that much (net) in the last 5-8 years. They'll be able to comfortably land Mbappe / Haaland next summer.
Whats the projection like for next year? fans are back, they still pocket more money than anyone else from TV revenue bar Real Madrid. Wages have been slashed to less than £200m. Many of the high wage earners will see their contract come to an end further slashing their costs. I think they will get financial aid from the city. The club is way too big and popular to allow it to fail.Post script.
Real Madrid announced a financial profit (just) of €0.8m for 2021.
Barca announced a financial loss of €481m for 2021.
That's why Real are OK.
And why Barca are screwed.
They’ve “set a budget” of €766m, which I assume means revenue (including player sales because their top line turnover has never been anywhere near that figure before). They’ve obviously slashed the wages but nobody is turning up to watch and their commercial revenue will be hit by the loss of Messi.Whats the projection like for next year? fans are back, they still pocket more money than anyone else from TV revenue bar Real Madrid.

Juve were relegated and they came back, I would expect arguably the biggest club in Europe will bounce back. I doubt they will be able to realistically stick to a wage cap of £85m but would pay players through creative means. I would hazard a guess only a couple of prem clubs have wage bills of £85m and below.
