"Laporta's children will still have to deal with Barça's debt," a specialist in Barça's economics recently commented. He said this metaphorically, because none of them has ever publicly expressed their intention to become Barça president one day.

The figure is a result of the bonds (122.5 million for the first maturity of the operation), interest, and bridge loans. However, this forecast is likely to be adjusted due to the construction work on the asset that should allow the repayment of the financing for the Espai Barça, the remodeled Camp Nou, They are almost a year late.
