Barça tried to reduce the budget in its sections last summer. In basketball, it started with an idea between 15 and 25 and ended up settling in 30% of the total of 44 million that was previously available. But to carry it out, they had to carry out expensive operations that led them to spend money on compensation. In a report by 2Playbook, the losses that this entire storm has generated are estimated at up to 56.6 million euros, which is a true record for basketball.

Sarunas Jasikevicius was not satisfied with his dream of continuing after winning the Endesa League as he had a very low renewal offer compared to what he wanted, so he opted for Roger Grimau as a replacement. Club man with less salary. That was not, however, a big problem regarding the aforementioned losses since that contract simply ran out, he did not renew it.
These accounts are relative to the 2022/23 season, from which these contractual agreements were carried forward.
Mirotic and Higgins, the two mainstays of the project in recent years, did have contracts in force. There comes the hole. The information details that it is the two compensation payments for both players, the Montenegrin and the American, that were not planned and that caused the great mess in the club’s accounts. There are almost thirty million unbudgeted expenses.
What Barça expected to lose was 28 million euros. Then 25.2 more were added. Income (16.9) was also in line with what was planned. These dismissals, to be resolved in judicial matters, blew up the planning. For the new season, clauses were paid for Brizuela and Parra and a great contract with Willy Hernangómez, the new star of the Palau, but at the same time it was cut with Sanli, Kuric, Tobey and betting on youth players like Caicedo or Nnaji in the squad of the 2023/24. The intention is for losses to be reduced by a quarter and income to increase to 13.77 million euros.
