Barcelona president Joan Laporta reported an improvement in the financial situation of the club.
In recent years, Barcelona has struggled with financial issues, but the situation seems to be slightly improving. Laporta firmly believes in this, and on October 17, he addressed the topic once again.
Quote: "Today, the club is making money. When we arrived, we activated levers to meet urgent obligations and improve the workforce. We started the movement, but the wound was open. Today, we can say that Barcelona is earning more than it spends. Our revenue has increased by 41%, and expenses have been reduced by 22%. This is very important.
Our turnover has grown by 70% compared to last year. There were extraordinary losses, but we are convinced that in the end, our assets will be productive. The economy of Barcelona is developing. This is not a static picture. I am calm. Ultimately, this will yield results. We have healed the wound," said Laporta.
Reminder: This Saturday, a club assembly will take place in Barcelona, which will be challenging for the president. This is because the assembly will approve the club's financial statements, and some members have questions about what the Barcelona management has presented.
In particular, assembly members opposing Laporta believe that the reported loss of €91 million for the previous season is underestimated.
