Yes, FC Barcelona still owes a significant amount of money. Despite improvements in their financial outlook, the club continues to carry considerable debt, particularly from past player transfers.
Current Financial Situation
While FC Barcelona's financial situation is indeed showing signs of improvement, partly due to new commercial agreements such as a recent deal with Nike, the club remains substantially in debt. This ongoing financial obligation stems largely from historical transactions.
Breakdown of Outstanding Debts
A significant portion of Barcelona's current debt is owed to other football clubs. These are unpaid transfer fees for players acquired in recent years. It's noteworthy that some of the players for whom these fees are still outstanding are no longer even with the club.
- Total Owed to Other Clubs: Barcelona owes more than €140 million to various clubs in outstanding transfer fees.
This financial structure means that even as new revenues come in, a substantial part of their income is allocated to managing and reducing these pre-existing liabilities. The club is actively working to navigate these challenges and bring its finances back to a more stable and sustainable position.
