“There is a rational, proportionate and balanced way out”

He candidate for the presidency of FC Barcelona Toni Freixa considered this Tuesday that “There is a rational, proportionate and balanced way out” to the economic situation of the club after the worrying report of the 2019-2020 academic year was known, which places the debt at 1,173 million euros.

For Freixa the key to get ahead will be “stabilize the wage bill, adjust income, renegotiate the debt and reject capitalizations based on bonds or the Barça Corporate route”.

Thus, in a press release he explained that the situation is “completely reversible” for Barcelona “Thanks to the solid heritage, but especially thanks to its social strength.”

“It is in the hands of the partners, which are fully aware of the threat posed by having a fragile economic structure, betting on a proposal that, like ours, guarantees an independent club, in front of the axis represented by the other two candidates, committed to media, political and economic interests and assets, “declared Freixa.

The candidate said that the current scenario was already familiar to him because his team has followed “very closely these years and denounced that more than 1,000 million euros have been invested in transfers above their value and more than 30 players for Barça B who have not served much.”

Two of the extra income channels that Freixa proposes for the club are that of “sponsorships” and that generated by Espai Barça, a project that declared that “It must be undertaken urgently as one of the main exploitation areas.”
