How much does Barcelona owe on Raphinha?
The weightiest financial obligation rests with Brazilian player Raphinha. Leeds United in England awaits a significant sum of 24 million euros in the short term, with an additional 38 million euros owed in the future. Barcelona also owes substantial sums to other clubs such as Bayern Munich for Lewandowski, Manchester City for Ferrán Torres, Ajax for Frenkie de Jong, and Sevilla for Koundé.
Immediate repayment of these debts is crucial. Failure to meet these financial obligations could result in legal action against the club, potentially obstructing their plans to reinforce the squad, which includes the acquisition of players like João Cancelo and João Félix.
Currently, Barcelona stands in third place in the Spanish Championship, boasting a flawless record in the Champions League after two rounds. They remain unbeaten but find themselves trailing the league leaders, Real Madrid, by three points, and even lagging behind Girona, the unexpected standout in the competition.
