Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has expressed his bemusement at the current financial situation at Barcelona.
Few clubs were taken to the financial brink during the pandemic like the Catalan giants, with current president Joan Laporta, who returned to the post for a second time last year, stating that the club was "clinically dead" when he took it on from Josep Maria Bartomeu's tenure.
The La Liga club had debts in excess of £1bn, with a significant chunk of that due in the short term, and had to call on players to take wage cuts and defer salaries in order to keep the lights on at the Nou Camp, which is now known as the Spotify Nou Camp after a sponsorship deal with the streaming firm was inked during the summer.
