The increase of the mass salarial of the Barça, an incoveniente of face to the future

It is not a secret for anybody that the FC Barcelona lives an economic crisis very delicate and that the total debt would rise to billion of euros. With the irruption of the pandemia, the income have gone in free fall and the club would expect to have gains from the season 2022-2023, that is to say, the culés will have the accounts in red by a course more and this factor can be key for the in the future immediate plans of the Barcelona entity.

In the first audit made by Joan Laporta to his arrival to the offices of the Camp Nou, desveló, of unofficial way, that the losses for this campaign would be of around 350 millions and that, in the next, would be something similar, as long as Lionel Messi continue in the team.

The true is that one of the reasons of the complicated financial health of the blaugrana is the mass salarial, the most elevated of Spain. In the previous course, before the arrival of the pandemia and his estragos, the Barça there was presupuestado 505 million euros for the payment of the footballers, a figure that was forced to reduce with a discount salarial, until arriving to the 462 'kilos'. In this year, with the same measures and more payments differed, the total of egresos by wages would arrive, to final of season, to the 335 millions.

The increase of the mass salarial arrived to his tope with the arrival of Josep María Bartomeu to the offices of the Camp Nou. In his first exercise at most Barcelona mandator, the 2013-2014, the mass salarial was of 254 millions. After this course, began some 'descontrol' in the Barcelona entity and, in principle, shot the wages, that brushed the 352 'kilos'.

Almost immediately afterwards, it arrived the renewal of Leo Messi and the signing of Luis Suárez. Since, the figure was 'in crescendo' until, in this point, has turned into something unsustainable for the club of the City Condal and that will happen bills in the future immediate, especially with the possible renewal of Messi and the expected signing of Erling Haaland.

With few options

The reality is that, with the debts to short and long term, the high mass salarial and the project of the Espai Barça, the Barcelona entity remains with few options of face to the future. Like this it achieve desprenderce of some players (with Philippe Coutinho, Samuel Umtiti, Junior Firpo, among others, in the door of exit), will be very complicated to replace economically in the short term.

To his time, the priority of the Barça is to renew to Messi and, although his wage would see undoubtedly reduced, will continue being a very important figure for the club that, like this can divide or difererir, will continue being a determinant for the club.

In the same point, everything aims to that the discounts salariales will go on down more time and, being honest, would be inexplicable for the players see his wages reduced considerably, for afterwards see to the club make several important investments in the market of signings, being the concrete case of Erling Haaland and his 150 or 180 millions.
