Lewandowski, Koundé... The players who still generate transfer debt to FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona specifies various details regarding its financial report as of June 30, 2024. Among these specifics, information stands out about the debts of the Culé club related to the acquisition of footballers in the short and long term. It is important to mention that as revealed by 'SPORT', the Barcelona team reports a specific debt in this area: 45 million euros in the short term (to be paid in less than 12 months) and over 102.6 million euros in the long term (starting from 12 months and a day).

In this regard, one of the names that draws the most attention is that of Robert Lewandowski, the current top scorer of Culés. Why? In terms of payments, amounts need to be paid to seven teams in relation to him. One of these teams, Bayern Munich, receives the highest amount for the transfer, while the others receive smaller amounts known as training rights:

1. Bayern Munich (10.4 million in the short term and 10.6 in the long term)
2. MKS Warsaw (169,000 euros and 169,000 euros)
3. Lech Poznan (119,000 euros and 119,000 euros)

Additionally, for another standout player in the offensive realm, Raphinha, FC Barcelona has a pending debt with Leeds United (the team that transferred him to the Culé team in the summer of 2022) of a total of 559,000 euros in the short term and almost 42 million euros in the long term. Furthermore, smaller amounts are owed to teams like Sporting Portugal (103,000 euros and 103,000 euros), Stade Rennais (32,000 euros and 32,000 euros), and Vitoria SC (242,000 euros and 242,000 euros).

In addition, young talents also have their space, like Vitor Roque, currently at Real Betis. For him, 11.8 million euros must be paid to Athletico Paranaense in the short term and seven million in the long term. Modest amounts are owed for players like Gerard Martín, a left-back starting his professional football adventure this season, for whom only 75,000 euros need to be paid in the short term to Cornellà, about 100,000 euros also in the short term to Girona for the signing of Unai Hernández, and around 17,000 euros for the acquisition of Ramón Rodríguez.
