The pending debts that Laporta will pay with the money from Goldman Sachs

The managerial board led by the president of the FC Barcelona Joan Laporta has recognised during the assembly of compromisarios celebrated this Sunday that the situation of the Barcelona club "is worse of what thought us". Eduard Romeu, new economic vice-president, announced that the net financial debt of the entity in March of 2021, when they took possession of the charge, rose to 673 million euros and that probably finish surpassing the 1.044 millions.

In this sense, the vice-president of the economic area has proposed to approve new operations with the end to inject liquidity that will have two fundamental consequences: it will expand even more the debt, but will be able to face up to the pending payments more immediate. A solution that although it was risky, saldaría the most urgent debts.

This 30 June, the Barcelona club has to face three games of costs for which there is not liquidity: 75 million euros in transfers of players, 24 millions in taxes (income tax and VAT) and 57 millions in sportive wages, mainly the concernientes to the footballers of the first team culé. In total, the Catalan entity has to credit 156 million euros before it finish the exercise in course.

It grows the debt

To this could add 161 million euros in wages postponed of players that are not computed and 38 million partners credited to the stadium that have paid this season without being able to assist to the parties, whose compensation will see reflected in future seasons. These points have not been taken in account in the immediate payments earrings, but contribute to increase even more the debt of the club.

Undoubtedly, the new game that will increase the debt is the granting of a new credit that was approved this same Sunday by the assembly: the 525 millions that will fund, mainly, Goldman Sachs. Besides, the own Romeu has recognised that the same financial has issued a loan of 80 million euros in favour of the Barça.

Conditions of the credit

The aim of the Barcelona club is to sign a new credit in August and treat to achieve some more advantageous conditions that those that there is at present: interest of 3% and return to 15 years. These are the maxima that contemplate , but of course the aim of the entity is to reduce this interest and therefore, the time of payment, so that it could do in a total of 10 years: the two first of lack and the others eight of amortización.
