Barca's debt rises to 1.35 billion euros

La Liga lowers salary limit to 270 million euros

Club continues to struggle financially despite recent signings

FC Barcelona's economic vice president, Eduard Romeo, has revealed that the club's debt has risen to 1.35 billion euros. This comes after La Liga lowered Barca's official permitted salary limit from 648 million euros in 2022-23 to a new figure of 270 million euros. The club has been struggling financially for some time, and its debt reached a reported 13 billion euros last year.

Despite the financial difficulties, Barcelona has continued to make big-money signings in recent months, including Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski. However, the club is now under pressure to reduce its debt and comply with La Liga's financial regulations.

The news of Barca's rising debt is likely to raise concerns about the club's long-term financial viability. The club has already been forced to sell some of its most valuable assets, including the naming rights to its stadium, and it may be forced to make further sacrifices in the future.
