With the season coming to an end, Barcelona\u2019s chances in the summer transfer window are being ruined by an innumerable economic issues, borne from years of maladministration.<\/p>\n

Barcelona already owes millions to banks for unsettled debts whilst their overall spending limit was lowered to a negative figure by La Liga before this March, effectively excluding them from registering new players until they equalize the books.<\/p>\n

If the preceding financial troubles were not enough, as per a report another shocking product of the club\u2019s mismanagement, with Barca reputedly owing \u20ac50 million to Gerard Pique as due salary.<\/p>\n

Pique, who has been a crucial part of the current Barcelona setup since 2008, has had a cumbersome year so far.<\/p>\n

The defender had involvement in the Spanish Super Cup deal with RFEF president Luis Rubiales whilst his teammates were unhappy with his current agreement.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Pique is truly the highest-paid player in the Barca setup at the moment. However, it seems the club have \u20ac50 million due, after crashing to pay Pique\u2019s salary year after year.<\/p>\n

Although the defender is yet to make an issue about the unpaid salary, the situation is quite terrible from Barcelona\u2019s point of view.<\/p>\n

Especially if the Barca plan to move on from Pique in the coming year, the unpaid salary could see the club force themselves into another serious financial situation.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Still, there is hope the situation will smoothen in the coming years under the leadership of Joan Laporta.<\/p>\n

The sponsorship comtracts with Spotify, CVC Capital and the sale of Barca Studio could go a long way in assisting the club balance the books.<\/p>\n

Barcelona may also depend heavily on player sales to generate the additional income and considering the current situation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
