Barcelona, one of the footballing powerhouses, is currently grappling with a substantial financial burden, owing more than €200 million in transfer fees to several clubs, reported by GOAL. Despite their ongoing economic challenges, the club has not halted its ambitious signings, thereby accumulating substantial debts that they must address.

In the coming year, Barcelona is obligated to pay nearly €90 million, with an additional €120 million looming in the future. Among these obligations, €24 million is owed to Leeds United for the transfer of Raphinha, €13 million to Manchester City for Ferran Torres, and €10 million to Bayern Munich for Robert Lewandowski. These payments are part of complex agreements that span multiple years, adding to the financial intricacies faced by the Catalan giants.

Furthermore, Barcelona still has outstanding dues from past transfers, including payments for players like Frenkie de Jong, Neto Muraua, Jean-Clair Todibo, Emerson Royal, Junior Firpo, and Miralem Pjanic. The situation becomes even more convoluted in Pjanic's case, where funds need to be allocated to four different clubs, underscoring the financial intricacies the club is navigating.
