FC Barcelona Finances

[Porque]

Our wage bill is apparently over 100m higher than Real Madrid's currently, and that's without Messi.

In what world does this make any sense?

And this includes the contracts of Hazard, along with Bale, Isco and Marcelo due to expire this summer.

Admittedly we have Dembele to expire. I wonder if he has another Barto special loyalty bonus to collect too.

But it makes you wonder just how much the sacred cows are earning. Even Neto is on 7million or something ridiculous, and we all know about Braithwaite's wage.

600m for 25 years is better than CVC but still very bad. Sigh.

Read today Espanyol has no money due to La Liga's wage cap and will almost certainly have to sell Raul De Tomas in order to make signings, and Valencia is also having the same issues and will have to sell Soler, Gaya, Guedes to do so as well.

I expect to keep hearing the same stuff this summer, a good number of La Liga teams will be probably forced to sell their best assets in order to sign players due to Tebas not wanting to be flexible.

 

[DonAK]

Get rid of the salary cap.

Can you provide a source?

 

[Windhook]

If true this just makes the CVC deal a saving package to repay debts for many, but not push forward club development.

Basically, Bordalas said this.

Former Valencia coach Bordalas reveals that the board has asked him to allow sales of players worth 70 million to meet the Laliga wage limits. The three players that will be sold to raise money are Goncalo Guedes and club captains Carlos Soler and Jose Gaya

Our wage bill is apparently over 100m higher than Real Madrid's currently, and that's without Messi.

In what world does this make any sense?

We're at 560m, Madrid 400, and Bayern 300. We're almost double Bayern's.

Barto extended eight players with ballooning wages after he knew he was gonna get voted out, as if he wanted to destroy Barca's future couldn't have done a better job.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

Tebas is ruining LaLiga if every club has to sell their players. Madness. Total madness.

 

[Pramodkumarca]

Reportedly negotiating with Bank of America. 600m for presumably 25% of our TV rights for 25 years.

it all depends on how you use that 600m what I believe is that the Tv right generally grows at 10 to 12 percent at least - if you use this 600 m on your stadium to increase your earning capacity that's fine but if you use it to pay your wages then that is bad to large extent that it is like sell your grandma jeweller and I think you can only sell a max of 25% of your Tv right as per the agreement with the Tv right owners then what is left to mortgage if yu need any money?

 

[Rory]

Is there any good information on what our players salaries are? I see figures of 500m+ quoted but that just seems like madness. Is that wages of all of our teams, even including other sports, and all of the wages of every staff member that we have?

Players like Frenkie are one of the biggest earners on roughly 22m right? So even if every player in our squad was on that we'd just about hit 500m. But of course most aren't on that at all.

 

[JamDav1982]

Better deal than CVC over 40 years clearly and better again if it allows Barca in some way to repay early etc in future.

 

[Porque]

So this is a loan with the guarantor of 25% of the TV rights, or it's a sale of 25% of the rights equity for 25 years?

Both are vastly different. It surely can not be 25% of the rights AND we have to pay the 600m back. If it is give me that free lunch.

 

[JamDav1982]

25% of future domestic tv deal with the 600m counting as income for Barca with a certain % of that they can spend on salary cap.

 

[Porque]

The best of a bad situation then. Just as long as the TV rights market doesn't collapse. I remember 5 years back when I was in the program that the rights were reaching their peak. So growth is not guaranteed, especially domestically.

Can LaLiga do anything about an independent deal? (I assume CVC would want guarantees that Madrid and Barcelona can not make external deals).

Can they decide how this 600m must be distributed based off of the CVC?

I guess we will find out in the coming weeks
