Barcelona have once again announced losses following last season, despite President Joan Laporta\u2019s assertions that the club\u2019s finances are on the up. It is the second year in a row that the Blaugrana have made losses on the season, with their last profit coming courtesy of the infamous \u2018economic levers\u2019 sales.<\/p>\n

The Blaugrana have organised their General Assembly for the year on the 19th of October, the day after they face Girona. Their finalising of their accounts for the 2024-25 season was announced<\/a> on the 30th of September, less than three weeks before the Assembly, when Barcelona members will be asked to vote through the accounts and any other proposals brought forward.<\/p>\n

Barcelona make \u2018ordinary profit\u2019 of \u20ac4m<\/p>\n

The club say that for the third consecutive year, Barcelona have made an \u2018ordinary profit\u2019, in this case of \u20ac2m, following on from an ordinary profit of \u20ac5m last year. Positives are that the club predicts reaching new records in terms of sponsorship and merchandising this year, and that they will be back at Camp Nou this year, one of the club\u2019s financial motors. They project a profit of \u20ac4m for the 2025-26 season.<\/p>\n

However after deducting extraordinary costs and taxes, the Blaugrana have closed the year with losses of \u20ac17m. This follows on from losses of \u20ac91m the previous year<\/a>, which the club put down to the devaluation of Barca Vision, which they sold for \u20ac200m, of which they have only received \u20ac65m.<\/p>\n

Jules Kound\u00e9 will reach 150 games for Barcelona if he features vs PSG. The French defender is also on track to become the most capped French player in Bar\u00e7a’s history, chasing \u00c9ric Abidal\u2019s record of 193 matches. @bonagerman<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/1tgh7gxjVE<\/a><\/p>\n

There is pressure on Laporta and his board to close next year\u2019s accounts in the black, as they can be held personally liable for shortfalls incurred during their period of office. One deal that will have a major impact is the 30-year lease of VIP boxes agreed last December for \u20ac100m. Auditors Crowe have removed the sum from their accounts, as they await sufficient confirmation that the product is in operation, and there is debate over whether the money will be split over the period of the lease, or included as one lump sum. Earlier this year, UEFA also imposed a \u20ac15m fine on Barcelona<\/a> for failing to meet Financial Fair Play regulations.<\/p>\n
