Barcelona shareholders losing trust in Laporta. President accused of concealing real losses

This Saturday, Barcelona’s club assembly will convene, presenting a challenging scenario for club president Joan Laporta, as members will be asked to approve the club’s financial statements. However, opposition within the assembly has raised questions about the financial figures reported by Barcelona’s management.

According to Marca, some assembly members opposing Laporta believe that last season’s reported €91 million loss is understated, particularly due to concerns surrounding Barça Vision's profitability.

The assembly members argue that the €208 million revenue claimed by Barça Vision, the organization responsible for the club’s visual rights, is inflated. Consequently, various Barcelona socios groups are urging the assembly to reject the club’s financial report.

If the assembly votes against approving the financials, it would be a major blow for Laporta, especially as he heads toward the club’s presidential election in 2026. Victor Font, a key figure in the opposition, has already called for Laporta’s resignation.
