El FC Barcelona eleva la deuda un 29% y prepara la refinanciación de las obras del Camp Nou

FC Barcelona saw a 29% increase in its debt to 607 million euros in the 2025-26 season, despite record-breaking revenue of 1 billion euros. The club initially aimed to end the previous season with a profit of 4 million euros, but ended up with a loss of 18 million due to the devaluation of Bara Productions and management of VIP zones.

The club's board, chaired by Joan Laporta, proposed two refinancing operations totaling 510 million euros, with Goldman Sachs participating. The public will also vote on two commercial agreements to secure financing: the transfer of space in the Spotify Camp Nou for an entertainment park and a partnership with an Abu Dhabi real estate developer to promote the team and a high-end development in the UAE.

The club aims to increase sponsorship and merchandising revenues by 9% and earn an additional 60 million from the progressive return to the stadium as works progress. Overall, FC Barcelona hopes to hit a new revenue record of 1.2 billion euros, which they believe will help them narrow the zero-deficit gap, though they won't quite reach it.
