After months of discussion about Barcelona's new sponsorship deal with Nike which is the contract to turn around its financial situation, it seems that president Joan Laporta has a long way to go before finding the club on the right and financially tight . The business of economic leverage that he did in 2021 continues to haunt the club.
The Blaugrana are currently scrambling to find the money to register Dani Olmo before January, or face being unable to play him for the rest of the season. However Relief detail that more problems are on the horizon for Barcelona. Despite declaring losses of €91 million this season, €100 million of which is due to the non-payment of €150 million of its €200 million sale for 49% of Barca Vision, more losses are on the way if they can't find more investors.
Jonathan David's potential signing appears to be fizzling out. Tottenham Hotspur have made him a significant offer, and while he is open to waiting for now, his patience will not last indefinitely. @sport

They say that 100 million euros more should reach the accounts due to the agreement this season, but with no sign of any investors willing to pay, that seems unlikely. The double whammy is this Barcelona valued the totality of Barca Vision at € 408m, 51% of which is still in his control, but if they cannot find someone to pay the € 150m for the rest of the 49% sold this season, then the value of the 51% of them Their own will also reduce to their “real” value, causing significant losses that could be in the region of 200 million euros.
Laporta preached calm about the registration of the players, affirming that there will be no problems in the register of Olmo, but that contradicts all the information coming from the Catalan capital. Equally, he painted his financial results positively during the general assembly of the club, noting that without the losses of Barca Vision, they had a profit. However, the economic levers, three years later, continue to be obstacles, having allowed the club to invest in Jules Kounde, Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha initially.
