The Catalan club are once again grappling with severe financial difficulties. Such is their plight that they are yet to register with La Liga their <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/hansi-flick-officially-barcelona-new-manager-former-bayern-munich-boss-replacing-xavi-two-year-contract/blt11730b64f64f8b1d" target="_blank">newly appointed head coach</a>, Flick and his staff, according to <a href="https://www.marca.com/futbol/barcelona/2024/05/30/6658856946163f41b18b4574.html" target="_blank">Marca. </a>Flick, the former Bayern Munich and German national team head coach, was appointed as <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/hansi-flick-barcelona-bayern-munich-boss-xavi/blt6e12af1276a10601" target="_blank">Barcelona's new manager last Wednesday on a two-year contract</a>. His appointment was preceded by the sudden sacking of Xavi, who had a roller-coaster relationship with the club's board in the final few months of his tenure.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The club's financial woes have been well-documented over recent years, and this latest incident is a stark reminder of the depth of their fiscal troubles. In previous seasons, financial issues forced the club to delay the registration of several first-team players, leaving them without official shirt numbers for extended periods - even after their signing was made official.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

To address their financial crisis two years ago, Barcelona sold 49 per cent of 'Barca Studios' to investors, a move aimed at securing immediate cash injections. Despite these efforts, the financial situation remains dire. The club is still awaiting an £85.5 million ($109m) payment from Libero, who purchased the stake in 'Barca Studios.' Additionally, a similar deal with kit supplier Nike is anticipated, which is expected to provide another financial boost. Both payments are crucial for Barcelona to address the current financial crisis and enable the registration of Flick and new players.

DID YOU KNOW?

To comply with La Liga's financial regulations, Barcelona must also reduce their wage bill. This requirement adds another layer of complexity to an already challenging situation. The club's struggle to balance its books while maintaining competitive performance on the field is a daunting task. Hence, Xavi, after his final match in charge, poignantly remarked that his successor would face significant challenges due to the financial constraints the club is operating under.
