“In two years, Barça can reach a maximum economic performance”

The candidate for the presidency of Barcelona Toni Freixa explained that “In two years, Barça can reach maximum economic performance” in the presentation of his economic plan at the Cecot Club. To achieve this, Freixa considered that “The first circumstance to improve the economic situation is the end of the pandemic, which will cause the income of the stadium, the shops and the museum to return.”

On the other hand, he once again attacked the bond issue raised by the candidate Joan Laporta to reverse the difficult economic situation of the club: “Issuing debt without controlling your creditor is dangerous due to the fact that it can end up in the hands of third parties.”

Thus, he opined that becoming “a sports corporation depends mainly on what the partner wants, not on the board of directors, but it could also lead to irresponsible management such as a bond issue like Laporta's.”

According to Freixa, “It would be an absolute disaster to become a sports corporation and the partners must be clear about this when voting, an option that may carry this threat must be avoided.” Regarding the problem of the swollen Barça salary mass, the candidate pointed out that “some players who now increase the salary mass, one of the main problems, end their contract soon and it will be possible to sign others with a lower salary mass.”

In addition, he revealed that his candidacy is working on “improve sponsorships, both in the game shirt and in the training shirt, to have a higher income than the current ones and sponsors more in line with the identity of Barcelona “.

Although Freixa considers that it is necessary to work on new means of income for the club, he warned that “having 400 million followers in the world does not mean multiplying this figure by 5 euros per year per follower and having the problem solved as some have said candidate”.
