The financial problems of the FC Barcelona will follow weighing in the sportive planning of the next season. Although the directive has attained to close the exercise 22/23 with positive margin, the club still has a lot of accounts by saldar and, in the summer of 2024, the margin salarial will keep on being adjusted by questions of the 'Fair Play' of LaLiga.
