Barcelona could be hit with a severe UEFA penalty over alleged financial rule breaks in recent seasons.
The Catalan giants have reportedly been threatened with sanctions over their failure to balance cub expenses against income in line with UEFA financial rules.
Last September, Barcelona reported a net profit of €304m after tax, following their activation of various financial levers in an attempt to stabilise a worsening situation.
Barcelona are hoping to avoid a punishment, after bringing in more money via sponsorships and the sale of broadcast rights, but there is still a gap.
Only sales relating directly to football can be factored into UEFA’s final tally and Barcelona are still working to meet the impending deadline.
As per a report from German outlet Die Welt, Barcelona will not be given an exemption by UEFA, with the potential for a hefty fine and a Champions League ban.
The report claims Barcelona could be removed Europe’s premier club competition for two to three seasons starting immediately in 2024/25.
Ohohoho what a nice Christmas present if true.
Nice
Serves this club right!
Never heard as much crap in my life everybody and their grannies know fc barcelonas financial difficulties and problems,but honestly its so laughable how this news is conveniently coming out of the woodwork now after a certain super league got the go ahead lmao,if barca can cope with javier tebas and la ligas financial rules and regulations then ive also no doubt they can cope with uefas threats,rules and regulations lol.
The report also comes out exclusively in a German newspaper at the same time Bayern are trying to convince Ronald Araujo to leave Barca.
“Hey Ronald, looks like your club is going to be banned from the Champions League for three years. Are you sure you don’t want to come to Bayern?”
Exactly.
The REPORT CLAIMS barcelona COULD be removed europe’s premier club competition.
