Barcelona's economic Vice President Eduard Romeu has confirmed that Barcelona need to find £428 million to be saved from financial turmoil which will hugely impact their business dealings this summer. The Catalan giants have been linked with a number of players, including Robert Lewandowski, and more importantly to Leeds United fans, Raphinha.
But Romeu has stated that the club continue to register huge losses and must find a large sum of money or could be forced into difficult decisions. Romeu has also claimed that the financial difficulties are 'heredity' after years of financial mismanagement under their former president Josep Bartomeu and his predecessors. In 2021, the club announced that they were in £1.15billion debt.
This has registered to their on-the-field squad, too, with Barcelona struggling to retain certain players - including losing their greatest player of all-time and arguably the best player the sport has ever seen, in Lionel Messi joining PSG last summer.
