Xavi left Barcelona this time, if it is not handled well, it is likely to make Barcelona's fate hang by a thread again, don't think that Barcelona won a league title last season and think that Barcelona is good again, their finances have been on the verge of walking a tightrope, if it were not for Barcelona's special political background, as a normal club may have gone bankrupt.
Barcelona's total debt was as high as 1.35 billion euros at its peak, and although it has been greatly reduced now, the first team will be greatly limited in terms of reinforcements and salaries in the short term. Barcelona previously announced that their revenue for FY22-23 reached 1259 million, a record for the entire club, with a net profit of 304 million euros.
Because Barcelona is not a listed company, there is a lot of room for manipulation in its public financial reports, such as the previous leveraged financing, and their short-term very extreme salary reduction, which can make profits and income. But Barcelona's financial report is not as strong as everyone thinks, looking at some of the numbers inside, for example, Barcelona's commercial income last year was about 351 million euros, an increase of 43% over the previous year, but the comparison in the same direction is actually lower than Manchester United's 354 million, and both clubs have actually set a record high.
But you must know that Barcelona played in the Champions League last season, and won the league championship, while Manchester United ranked third in the league, and the Europa League did not reach the final but only won an English League Cup, so the whole comparison of Barcelona in the competition last season is actually a limit. If there is no significant breakthrough in the results, and ticket and peripheral sales are already at an all-time high, to put it bluntly, it is all Barcelona fans around the world who are generating electricity for love.
In the case that Messi does not return, at most, it is impossible to guarantee the league championship every year, at most, it is to qualify for the Champions League or even to the level of the quarterfinals, which may bring a net profit of 20 million. But considering that Barcelona's debt will continue to generate interest, Barcelona is still far from easing on hand.
Barcelona's latest financial report estimates that the 23-24 fiscal year is expected to be 859 million in revenue and more than 10 million euros in profit, so the price paid is that Barcelona's first-line registered players are not registered enough, and it is impossible to have a large budget in the transfer market. Originally, Barcelona introduced Lewandowski, Roque, Kounde, and Raphinha through leverage.
If La Liga increases its scrutiny of Barcelona, there will be little room for leveraged financing in the future. Even if the money on the account of financing a lot cannot be included in the financial income, it is impossible to break through the restrictions on recruitment, and it is impossible for Barcelona to find a famous coach, but only to find a coach who watches the dishes and is especially good at playing youth training.
On the one hand, Deco wants to operate for free to the limit, on the other hand, he has to play upside down, and Barcelona has to sell people to cash out quickly, and finally Barcelona and La Masia must have someone on top immediately. But the question is, who else is more suitable than Harvey, who can be familiar with and can train La Masia? In fact, the more I thought about it, the more sympathetic I became to Harvey, and they all said that Harvey had such and such problems in commanding on the spot.
But they all ignore how much pressure Xavi took on when he was reforming at Barcelona. After Laporta played a routine to make Pique, Busquets, and Alba give up their high salaries and leave the team, and seized the moral high ground, Laporta did not bring in Messia, basically eliminating all the veteran players.
At this point, Xavi is actually a spectator, and in the eyes of many passers-by, Xavi is a knife used by Laporta to operate on Barcelona. But the problem is that Barcelona's current round of reform, Xavi has not been raised and replaced, how many DNA coaches does Barcelona have to choose?
Previously, the coach of the Barcelona second team, Max, publicly said that he could **Xavi, but it caused dissatisfaction from the top, and I don't know if Laporta has the right person in his heart. Anyway, whether it's Flick or De Zerbi, I think it's difficult for them to break through Koeman and Xavi's results, and if you look for DNA coaches, will you look for Cesc Fabregas and Arteta?
I think high-paid players like Lewandowski, De Jong, and Raphinha should be cleared as soon as possible to see if they can get a transfer fee of 1.2 to 1500 million, without which Cancelo and Felix may not be able to buy out Barcelona. What kind of coach do you think is worth Barcelona's investment of more than 100 million in transfer fees for him?
I don't know if you can't expect Ten Hag and Xavi to swap home teams at the end of the season, right? It's really just a stalk.,I don't know if there's any great god to solve.,I can't find a way anyway!
