According to sport, we are about to announce revenues of 859m euros and profits of around 10m.

This would be the first we were topping our pre covid revenues, if memory serves me right.

That's pretty impressive considering,we aren't at the camp nou, which would generate an additional 70-100m euros.

They club needs to keep it going, while controlling cost, the next medium term objective should be finally starting to may down the debt.

Read on twitter the Nike deal is 100m+/year with a renewal bonus.

It is possibly 102-103 mil/year.

Oct 19 is the date of official announcment.

We have some communicado official.



-The club stopped the economic decline, the forecast of positive ordinary profits is around €12m.

- New all-time sponsorship revenue record of more than €210 million.

- Record turnover of the merchandising subsidiary, BLM, of nearly €110 million, a 72% increase on 2018.

- €170 million reduction in payroll from €670 million to just over €500 million. This brings the club back within UEFA's recommended ratios (payroll over recurring income between 55% and 70%.

- Playing at the Estadi Olímpic resulted in a reduction in annual ordinary revenue of over €100 million.

- Adjusted deficits of the other sports sections to bring these in line with the club's financial situation, without compromising sports competitiveness. Basketball has reduced its deficit to historic lows (-€10 million), and the women’s team has achieved profits (€0.6 million) while winning the UWCL

-Investment restraint policy, whereby the club significantly reduced the total investments compared to the average of recent years.

-As for extraordinary results, the club has recorded a write-off of certain receivables related to the actions of Bridgeburg Invest, S.L. due to non-payment by some of the participating investors. Pursuant to accounting principles, the club must record this potential default as a precaution, notwithstanding under any circumstances the right to collect the amount in the future or take the necessary actions. The amount recognized as an extraordinary expense totals €141 million before taxes. The club believes there are sufficient grounds for the current valuation of the company and remains confident in its future viability and capacities, with a business plan in place that should generate recurring revenue in the near future.
Therefore, and despite the positive ordinary result, the club closes the 2023/24 consolidated accounts with a net result of -€91 million.

Key highlights from the 2024/2025 budget:

-Sponsorship revenue is expected to increase significantly, reaching a total of over €250 million.
-The club expects continued growth in physical and e-commerce sales, forecasting over €125 million in revenue, representing double-digit growth on the previous year.
-The projected payroll for the 2024/25 season remains stable at approximately €500 million.
-The club forecasts a positive ordinary result of €5 million for the 2024/25 season, ensuring a positive EBITDA rating, which will lay the foundations for the 2025/26 season, when the new structure for generating revenue out of the redeveloped Spotify Camp Nou will be fully operational.

250m in sponsors for next season? Is the Nike deal already in this seasons budget or they didn't account for it, in next seasons budget?.

I'm sure Nike deal is calculated into this season's budget.

Couldn't possibly be included into last season (23/24) that ended on June 30 when the deal is not officialy signed yet though.

Wouldn't explain why they only expect a 40m increase in next seasons sponsorship revenue if it is.
From 210 to 250.

I guess they left it out until it's signed.

It's only like 20m increase in yearly revenues from the Nike deal. From 100m to 120m but who knows what real numbers are.

Anyone knows what's the deal with Nike's contract? I read they want to buy a part of BLM with this new contract. Will Laporta again sell a new palanca with the Nike deal?

It's good we stayed with Nike. They had a long history with us, and with things being prepared for 2025/26... things are gonna improve by a lot I think. The stadium alone is gonna make a huge difference.

BTW, losses tied to moving to Montjuic are calaculated in relation to old Camp Nou match revenue I think, not in comparison to what the revenue increase projection is once the new stadium is ready. That would be logical.

Yea that's how the lost revenue is calculated

The new stadium once completed is projected to add 100-200m extra in revenue, compared to the old camp Nou.

Which basically covers, the lost we'll get the the levers and the loans to build the stadium.

Anything over +100m compared to old camp nou, is basically real income the club can use to do something productive I hope.
