Barcelona are in financial crisis.
Their debt has passed €1.2 billion, much of it repayable in the short term. But how does a club that made almost €1 billion in 2018-19 end up facing the very real prospect of bankruptcy?
And how do they get themselves out of this debt.
Explained by Alex Stewart, illustrated by Craig Silcock.

This is a poor decision on Jack’s part, although in the context of the story the magic beans lead to untold riches for Jack and his mother.

    They should do a reform, normalize the player's wages as well as the transfer, rejuvenate the academy and Barca B functionality, sort out the unnecessary spending, etc. It'll be hard to do that while keeping up with Real Madrid at the same time, but sometimes that kind of radical move is what needed to "reset" everything onto the right path.

    Yet nobody is talking about the systemic issues that are to be seen everywhere, on every level. Insane transfer fees, non-sustainable wages and (i.m.o. worst of all) banking of future success. All while youth systems are neglected by major clubs. It has become an industry that is dependent on loans, olicharchs and sheiks. Bound to collapse one day if this will continue.

He shoots when he doesn’t even feel that he can score. With Barça, he never shoots even when he’s supposed to. And when he shoots, it’s usually because he can’t dribble and make himself closer to the net. And that’s our problem. We have 11 players who all depend on Messi’s genius vision and passing to be serviced closer to the opposition and score. (Except for Dembele when he sometimes takes on players, but his dribbles are useless. They never end in a creative pass).

    I'd say having 3 forwards that costs €400 mil that have yet to have consistent performances week in week out helped that too. Dembele Coutinho and Griezmann has been underperforming for way too long thus severely lowering their marketability and that also translates to Barcelona cannot make huge money of those 3. If Bayern had bought Coutinho back then, this could have been reduced but even Bayern did not see Coutinho as worth of spending €120 mil. Barcelona's marketability is exclusively because Messi is there. The moment Messi goes, all those sponsorships that came with Messi will all go away.

    Funfact- the year Barca won the treble, it already had about 300 million debt. The thing is that banks allow Barcelona to have such exorbitant debts because they generate the most money as well, and that too by some margin. The problem with the current situation isn't the huge amount (actually barca were supposed to have half a billion debt by 2021 even without covid) but more how the debt is structured. They need to renegotiate the debt to longer term debt. Also, the banks woud not want to make barca bankrupt simply because how massive the amount is. About 10-15million is the loss that banks usually try to ignore when taking over assets of any such indebted club. Barca (tho much more valuable than the above examples) also have such massive debt that banks would want quicker repayment and they know that changing the ownership model will mean that the debt takes even longer to repay.

Obviously the cash flow is a problem since they need to service short term debt, but what are banks gonna do? Have them go into bankruptcy and sell assets to repay the ST debt, or convert those loans into LT ones and have them pay interest over a longer period. The amount of debt itself is not a problem as long as you can service it.

    You forgot to mention the fact that while Madrid is also in debt, they are more successful than Barca so there is more inflow from winnings than in Barca, while they haven't made many astronomically expensive transfers in a fairly long time.

    Clear out older or French players, I heard. I think it was fringe. Griezmann has been pretty good this season.
