Is FC Barcelona bankrupt?

Marca has listed some of the problems but also ways in which this crisis can be solved.

Is Barcelona bankrupt?

The club can actually pay. True, they are in a very uncertain situation, but far away from facing any kind of existential crisis.

Barcelona has a lot of assets, including property, objects and, of course, football players.

In short term, the sale of one of the stars, such as Antoine Griezmann, Philippe Coutinho, Ousmane Deblee, or Frankie de Jong, would, for example, carry out their existing debt.

How is the situation being handled?

This is the main task for the new president and all candidates have a plan, which primarily includes renegotiating payment plans to buy out the time, while likely to seek further loans from banks.

Can Barcelona become a company with limited rights?

The club has assets not to become a company with limited sports rights, like any other club in La Liga Santander except Real Madrid, Athletic Bilbao and Ossauna.

All presidential candidates want to maintain the current model, where members have control of the club.

Will they be able to sign during the summer?

The club doesn't have much room to maneuver on the transfer market, and it's likely that income will be limited to the players who are on contract schedule, such as Eric Garcia, Memphis Depay or Georginio Winnalum.

Should they sell out players?

In a word: yes. Barcelona needs money and the sale of a leading player is the best way to do it now, as it also releases the pay space and opens the door for possible arrivals.

Is it normal for a club to owe so much to other clubs?

It's perfectly normal for transfer fees to be absorbed over time and paid in different installments, but what's not normal is to have so many unpaid payments, even for players who have left the club.

Who is responsible, and how did the situation get here?

Josep Maria Bartholomew must give many answers, since with an irresponsible financial plan throughout his presidency, so many payments have been delayed.

And the pandemic COVID-19 played its role, but it could have stopped it before it got to this stage.

Can Barcelona build the new stadium?

Barcelona needs a new stadium to generate more revenue, but no one knows how to do it now, so that plan must be removed until the current crisis is averted.

The urgent goal of the club must be to shut down the managements of the past few years.
