Barcelona vice-president Eduard Romeu shared news about the current situation at the club, and, as it turned out, the Spanish giant continues to work hard to eliminate its financial difficulties.

The goal was to block the flow of expenses up to 200 million euros per year, which the club began to lose unprofitably from the 2017/2018 season. This was necessary in order for Barcelona to become more financially stable. The main tasks were also the restoration of own funds, which had previously been in a negative state, approaching the level of 500 million euros, as well as the resolution of debt problems.

According to the club's plans, by 2023-2024, the economic condition of Barcelona should normalize, and it will be able to conduct its activities without extreme measures and financial restrictions. However, according to Romeu, at the moment Barcelona is still suffering due to high salary costs, hoping that the situation will change in the new financial year, especially after the departure of several major players from the team. In this context, the club had to make significant adjustments to its finances by reducing the budget for player salaries. This is reported by https://bookmaker-ratings.ru

It is important to note that in the current season of La Liga, Barcelona is showing decent results, taking third place after nine rounds with 21 points. However, Real Madrid remains at the top of the championship and is the main competitor to the Catalans. The news also mentioned that Barcelona is actively working to strengthen its squad in order to increase its chances of winning new trophies and return to outstanding success in the future.

The sporting director of Barcelona, Decoux, spoke about the transfer of striker Lionel Messi to Inter Miami.

"I've been friends with Leo for a long time. The question of his moving to the United States has been planned for a long time. He mentioned this idea a long time ago.

What has changed is those two years at PSG, which maybe should have been two years at Barcelona. I did not participate in the negotiations. Obviously, Messi is one of the biggest idols in the history of the club. He's happy now, and that's what I think he should have been aiming for in his career.

Coming back to Barcelona would be something amazing, because he is the best player in history, but everything turned out that way and you can see that he is happy. This is the most important thing," Marca quotes Deku.

Messi moved to Inter Miami from PSG in July 2023 as a free agent. The player's contract is valid until December 2025. Transfermarkt estimates Messi at € 35 million.

This season, the 36-year-old Argentine has played 13 matches, scored 11 goals and provided five assists.
