Barcelona want to postpone payment of possible January signing until summer, through instalments or loan with mandatory buy option. [sport]

Jeg må indrømme at al den snak om klubbens økonomi gør mig en smule nervøs. Hvordan kan vi ikke have penge til at købe en ordentlig spiller til januar? Er det pga renoveringen af campen?

When asked about the club being active in the winter transfer window, Monje said: “the club can afford to sign new players. But we have to be very prudent when doing this because we have a ratio to comply with.”

This brings us to the second financial problem the club has right now. The ratio Monje refers to is the maximum net debt to EBITDA ratio specified in article 67 of the club’s bylaws, which were approved in 2013 at the suggestion of the board. Article 67 states that by the end of the 2017-2018 financial year, this ratio has to be less than 2, with a progressive decrease from the time the statuses were approved until 2018.

The 2014-2015 season had a maximum ratio of 2.75 (which was exceeded). For 2015-2016, it’s 2.5, 2.25 for 2016-2017 and from 2017-2018 onwards it’s 2. The fact that the board failed to meet this ratio (debt was €328 million, EBITDA €105 million) for the previous season means that they now have two seasons to get back to the set ratios or they will have to resign. The club’s forecasted EBITDA for 2015-2016 is €120 million and they expect the debt to go down to €290 million, numbers that would give us a 2.41 ratio, thus meeting the required limit.

“We hope that we’ll even have the debt lower than that,” Monje explained, stating that she wants to reach €280 million.

A transfer made in January would increase the forecast debt (transfer fee) and decrease the EBITDA (salary), which means that there is not much room for maneuver at this moment. For example, if the new player’s salary is €1.5 million that means that the debt can be a maximum of €296.25 million which means that the transfer fee would have to be around €6 million. That means that unless there is an unexpected increase in income (like a signing bonus from the new shirt sponsorship deal or the sale of a player for a significant amount) Barça will most likely not sign anyone until this fiscal year is over on June 30th.
