With large losses this year and with a budget for the next one that could be below 800 million, it seems untenable that Barca can continue to assume 671 million in wages and amortization.
In an admirable decision from the human and impeccable/innovative from the point of view of marketing and brand Barca, the club Blaugrana decided to hand over to his Foundation the title rights of Camp Nou for the next season and give that millionaire income to the fight with the coronavirus.
In the pandemic context we live in, such an exercise of solidarity is dazzling. Of the best, if not the best, that this board has done not only for how but also for the when. In a scenario of a galloping economic crisis that will dangerously affect its economic stability, Barça emerges from an essential asset in favour of the fight against COVID-19.
In Barça, on the other hand, footballers have already ceded 72% of their salaries while the State of Emergency continues, but the projection of events leads us to deduce that this reduction will not be the only one nor will it be the most forceful. The future reality of football and clubs is very likely to be much tougher than we are imagining. The budget cuts forced by the losses of this year (it is speculated that the Barça will fall from 1,060 to 800 or less) will bring very, very painful consequences.
