“They Don’t Have a Penny”: Florentino Perez’s Partner Makes a Mockery of Barcelona’s Financial Crisis

FC Barcelona’s financial constraints have been consistent in their club dynamics during this ongoing season. Blaugrana is still grappling with the aftermath of a significant debt from the 2022/23 season. On this note, Real Madrid criticized them for their financial woes, igniting the decades-long rivalry between the Spanish clubs. A partner of Florentino Perez spared no effort to criticize Barca for their economic crisis.

Barcelona inherited more than $1.5 billion in debt, which influenced their transfer decisions this season. They made significant choices on their club signings, trimming their already bloating squad. Meanwhile, Perez’s associate also ridiculed Barca’s transfer decision and explained their major financial struggles in this season.

Barcelona gets criticized for their recent conditions

Blaugrana’s economic trouble is no secret for soccer fans. This led them to secure cheap deals or sign free agents this season. Inigo Martinez and Man City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan were signed for a free transfer. The Spanish giant lured Portuguese talents Joao Cancelo and Joao Felix in a loan deal to make a difference this season. Moreover, Barcelona freed up wage bills after parting ways with their stars such as Ousmane Dembele and Lenglet, along with a loan move for Ansu Fati.

Barca is still in the process of resolving their debt concerns. They also encountered difficulties in registering the newly acquired players. Efigenio Albadalejo, Florentino Perez’s associate, ambushed the rival club and labeled them bankrupt following such financial challenges. He remarked, “Barça? They don’t have a penny and that’s why they bring in youth players.”

Meanwhile, the European Super League drama has resurfaced with Florentino Perez expressing support for the league. Los Blancos president is committed to upholding the potential league. They criticized UEFA’s efforts in organizing all soccer competitions. Let’s dig deep into Real Madrid’s position because of the Super League.

What next for Florentino Perez to sustain the European Super League

Real Madrid, Barcelona, and the 12 top European clubs announced participation in the Super League. However, most of the teams aborted their participation in the later stage, leaving only the Spanish giants and Juventus. They had faith in this prospect to forge the best competitive league with the increase in financial gains. Meanwhile, a court case ensued in December 2022 on this venture. The European Court of Justice ruled in favor of the UEFA regarding the Spanish League.

Efigenio Albadalejo is optimistic that Los Blancos and other clubs still stand a chance to secure the case before the final verdict next month. Perez’s partner also said, “He [Florentino] will end up winning the Super League case.” Thus, Los Blancos’ support in favor of the Super League has raised eyebrows among soccer enthusiasts, and awaits to witness the outcome as the season unfolds.
