Barcelona financial leverage makes no sense!
Barcelona’s financial leverage makes no sense! Can this be faked too? La Liga may directly investigate!
Recently, a reporter from Kobe Radio analyzed Barcelona’s recent financial leverage actions. And clearly pointed out the reasons for Barcelona to carry out such operations and the adverse consequences of doing so in the future. According to the reporter’s analysis, Barcelona has completed the triggering of financial leverage three times, and the revenue generated by the first two financial leverages alone has a difference of 150 million euros. Could it be that these 150 million were created out of thin air? So in the future, Barcelona really needs to find a way to explain their financial leverage operation to La Liga. How much money such an action has allowed them to get is still a secret until now.
From the announcement of Barcelona’s first financial leverage, they gave one-tenth of the team’s broadcast revenue for the next 25 years to the Sixth Street Company in the United States. But what deserves our attention is that Barcelona has two different capital amounts in this official announcement. In terms of the investment price of the Sixth Street Company, they gave an offer of 207.5 million euros, but the capital gains after the Barcelona announcement The amount of creation has been directly increased to as much as 267 million euros. Perhaps the funds of nearly 60 million euros are not too much for a world-class football club, but it is precisely because of this leverage that Barcelona has successfully turned losses into profits throughout the 2021-22 season. In turn, they completely ended the loss-making state that had lasted for two years.
According to the regulations of La Liga, if the club suffers losses for three consecutive seasons, it will be punished, and Barcelona has also escaped. When this announcement was released, reporters and the media had stood up and publicly questioned the authenticity of the announcement, but Barcelona did not choose to provide actual evidence to clarify. Instead, when they activated the financial leverage for the second time, they directly omitted. the content of the amount part. However, after the end of the second capital leverage, Barcelona executive Laporta said in an interview that their income from the two leverages could roughly reach about 667 million euros, just when the outside world was speculating about the benefits of Barcelona’s second leverage operation, La always revealed everything.
In order to solve the salary cap problem, Barcelona sold 15% of the team’s future broadcast rights income for the second time. It is calculated that the income of Barcelona has reached a staggering 400 million euros. This is also a very large difference from the 300 million euros calculated by the outside world based on the ratio of the first transaction of the leveraged parties. The two times add up to a capital difference of nearly 160 million euros. Such a huge capital volume How did it appear out of nowhere?
Today, Barcelona has already started to prepare for the fourth leverage operation. Barcelona’s operation this summer is really eye-opening. With a total debt of more than 1.3 billion euros, they triggered a revenue of more than 700 million euros through leverage, and the funds invested in this summer window reached as much as 150 million euros. It is expected that they will continue in the transfer market in the future. invest funds. It is no wonder why Barcelona chose to deal with De Jong so urgently. I am afraid that they are also worried that their leverage operation will collapse at some point in the future. In a recent interview, Mr. La said that he hopes that La Liga can have the same understanding of leveraged financing as Barcelona, but La Liga will really let it go? I don’t think so.
