The subscribers leave: the millionaire that Barcelona will lose because of the partners

They rule out that it is because of the ‘effect’ Lionel Messi. FC Barcelona will lose 40 million euros because 26,238 members requested the exceedance of their subscription for the 2021-2022 academic year, which causes the number of subscribers to now drop to 57,262 out of an approximate total of 83,500.

This was explained by the 'Tot Costa' program of Catalunya Ràdio, which pointed out that this fact has nothing to do with the departure of Leo Messi because the period to request leave of absence ended on August 1, five days before the announcement was made. goodbye to the Argentine player. If the figure is confirmed, it is a serious setback for the club's coffers, not exactly buoyant as recently announced by President Joan Laporta.

As long as there is limited capacity at the Camp Nou due to sanitary restrictions, only 57,262 members will be able to request their free entry for the matches. On the first day of the League against Real Sociedad, those available were not exhausted and the club ended up opening the application to members without a subscription and to the general public.

The Blaugrana entity is suffering economically this summer, so if it is confirmed that they will lose 40 million euros, it will be a major setback for the club's coffers, after Joan Laporta announced the mega debt that the institution has.
