The financial journey of Barca during Bartomeu’s presidency

One way or another, Josep Maria Bartomeu's tenure as president of FC Barcelona is coming to an end. We have looked at the financial mark he has made on the club during his five years in charge.

Under Bartomeu, the club have increased their revenue by 52 per cent, largely due to commercial growth.

However, the money has been spent rapidly. Barcelona's wage bill and transfer spending has left the club with the largest debt total in the world of football at €1.2 billion, an increase of 125 per cent under Bartomeu's term from 2015 to 2019.

Covid-19 could demolish his overall success in growing Barcelona financially.
