Several million euros will tiptoe through the Barça assembly.

BarcelonaBarça's financial report shows only part of the club's reality. Despite detailing a good portion of the club's figures, several items remain under seal and are unlikely to be revealed at this Sunday's virtual shareholders' meeting. For example, the report does not shed light on the commissions paid to third parties for signings, renewals, and commercial agreements, among others, during the 2024-2025 financial year. The most notable absence This is the exact figure of the commission that Darren Dein has received., former representative of Cesc Fàbregas and son of former Arsenal president David Dein, for his mediation during the negotiations between Barça and Nike to renew the contract.

ARA reported in December 2024 that Dein asked the club for 50 million euros and president Joan Laporta publicly admitted that there was a commission, but at no time did he reveal how much the Englishman pocketed. The report also does not clarify the doubt. Apparently, it falls within the concept othersThis item has resulted in 73 million euros in unspecified expenses during the 2024-2025 academic year. The previous amount was 77 million euros. In the current fiscal year's budget, in 2025-2026, the item others The club's salary has been reduced to €42 million. According to the club, the main reasons are "transfer losses generated in the 2024-2025 season due to the departure of first-team players." That is, a hole generated by the sale of Vitor Roque to Palmeiras and the termination of Clément Lenglet. The club also assures that Dein's commission will be paid as the agreement with Nike, which expires in 2038, deepens.

However, the report does broadly explain the increase in Barça's management committee salaries, despite the fact that the 2024-2025 season was made up of one fewer person (21) than the previous one (22). As of June 30, 2024, these salaries totaled €5.5 million, and as of June 30, 2025, €6.6 million. The 21 members of the management committee are part of Barça's total of 1,815 employees. This is six more than last season. Beyond the 21 members of the management committee, the staff is distributed as follows: 842 are professional sports staff; 454 are administrative services staff; and 497 are facilities, stores, and other staff. Of the 1,815 employees, 1,344 are men and only 471 are women. A year earlier, there were 1,254 men and 555 women.

The signings that are still pending payment

There are also a number of details regarding Barça's debts to sports entities for its signings. The club owes 159.1 million euros (140.6 million euros in the short term and 18.5 million euros in the long term). The largest amount is the amount owed to Leeds United for Raphinha. Barça still owes 41.9 million euros for the Brazilian. Next on the list is Dani Olmo, and the 33.7 million euros (18.9 million euros in the short term and 14.8 million euros in the long term) that Leipzig is expecting. These are followed by the 24.5 million euros owed to Sevilla for Kounde; the 17.2 million euros still owed to Club Athletico Paranaense for Vitor Roque; the 13.2 million euros owed to Manchester City for Ferran Torres; and the 10.2 million euros owed to Bayern Munich for Lewandowski.

These 159.1 million euros, which Barça owes to sports organizations, are partly offset by the 64.1 million euros that sports organizations owe the Catalan club, mostly from transfers and loans. The player who still owes the most money to the Catalan club is Nico González. Porto owes him 6.7 million. Vitor Roque also appears on this list because his current team, Palmeiras, owes Barça 6.3 million. Other debtors include Saudi Arabia's Al-Alhi, with 4.1 million euros for Kessie; Betis, with 3.7 million euros for Chadi Riad; Al-Ittihad, with 3 million euros for Unai Hernández; Rennais, with 2.7 million euros for Mika Faye; and Bournemouth, with 2.6 million euros for Julián Araujo.

On the other hand, the financial report also provides some information on the expenses associated with the remodeling of the Camp Nou, although the most detailed information on this aspect is provided by the National Securities Market Commission (CNMV) with Quarterly updates of the Espai Barça securitization fund figuresAccording to the club, as of June 30, 2025, the accumulated costs associated with Espai Barça amounted to 974.9 million euros (up from 560.1 million euros a year earlier). Barça's membership granted permission to spend a maximum total of 1.5 billion euros on the remodeling of Camp Nou, the construction of the new Palau Blaugrana, and the creation of the new Barça Campus. With around 500 million euros still to be spent, the stadium is half-finished (there is no third tier or roof), and the pavilion has not even been completed.
