  • Barca reveal €534m wage spend as net loss recorded

    Barcelona's Ordinary General Assembly of Members was held on Sunday morning. Club president Joan Laporta addressed attendees for the final time of his tenure and covered a wide range of topics which have concerned his latest stint a president of the club.

    Barca's debts were a key talking point from the Assembly, as it was revealed that the club recorded a net loss of €17m last season, while revenue almost hit €1 billion.

    La Blaugrana's wage bill increased from €510m (£442m/$594m) to €534m (£463m/$622m), a small increase which was ultimately a difference as a net loss was recorded by the Catalan super club.

    But Laporta made sure to emphasise that the club’s tough financial situation in recent years is seeing rapid improvement, citing performances on the pitch, La Masia and the under construction new Spotify Camp Nou as ways in which the club has taken strides in returning to its former glory since 2021.

  • FBL-SPAIN-BARCELONA-LAPORTAAFP

    Laporta speaks on 2024/25 financial accounts

    Barcelona's initial financial accounts depict a €2m surplus, before additional fees resulted in a €17m net loss overall. The club made sure to emphasise the success behind achieving the former.

    "In the economic realm, we have done everything so that you can continue being the owners of the club, the members, without having to bear the cost, without having to dig into your pockets. We are very satisfied with that. Positive results with a surplus of 2 million euros...achieving revenues of €994m, you will agree, is even more remarkable considering that we are still playing away from home," said Laporta.

    "We have achieved a historic record in sponsorship with a total of €259m, which is explained by the internationalisation of the market. We have reduced the debt set by the League by €90m, which is no small feat. So we are on the right track. We have made a titanic effort to contain spending."

  • Laporta reflects on Barcelona's recent success

    Laporta added: "I can tell you with all pride that we have worked hard to return Barça to the place it deserves. Four and a half years ago they gave us the trust to recover the club's image, to carry out the new Camp Nou, and to strengthen La Masía, and that is what we will continue to do if they give us their trust. We are much better off than we were four and a half years ago. 

    "Everything can be improved, but this stage is much better than four and a half years ago. Those who don't want to see it... We have recovered the club's finances because we did not pay attention to apocalyptic proclamations. This has happened because we have worked hard and well. We have been courageous on complex issues.

    "We feel stronger than ever to complete Barça's recovery in every area. We thank all the workers for their effort. At the right time, the club was saved, and now we are on the path to improving it.

    "On a sporting level, I think last season was historic...We won the [domestic] treble and also the way we won, I think, was very much in line with our genuine style of playing football, playing well. I want to give all the credit and recognition to Deco, to [Hansi] Flick, his staff, the fitness trainers, medical team, and a tribute to the late Carles Miñarro…"

    A glance to the present and the future

    "A team that has a present and has a future, and that is demonstrated by the Kopa Trophy [won by Lamine Yamal] and which we have won in recent years: in 2021 Pedri, then Gavi, who I hope recovers as soon as possible, and then the two years of Lamine Yamal.

    “In women's football we are a global reference, congratulations to Aitana for her new Ballon d'Or...

    "We have returned to the global frontline and we are a respected club. We have a badge that is respected and loved worldwide. Joy has been returned to all the culers."
