Despite his warnings about the financial effects of Covid-19, the club president denied that Barca are in a poor financial state
Josep Maria Bartomeu says no club has been worse affected by the coronavirus crisis than Barcelona – but he claims the club’s debt levels are still healthy.
With spiralling wages for the club’s stars, a number of expensive signings who haven’t made an impact on the pitch and the ‘Espai Barca’ Camp Nou redevelopment project, some have predicted financial troubles ahead for the club.
President Bartomeu looks to be projecting a message of calm, though he had a stark warning about the effects of Covid-19 on football.
