According to the "As" newspaper, due to the club's financial difficulties, Barca will not distribute Christmas gifts to the players this year.
In previous years, barca, with the support of sponsors, had distributed gifts to their players before the Christmas holidays began. Gifts are generally high-tech electronic devices, such as the latest iPhones or iPads distributed in previous years. During Bartomeu's tenure, this practice of the club became the norm and continued.
Last season, barca management, in a power vacuum, decided to suspend the distribution of Christmas gifts to players as Barca were in a presidential election at the time. In the end, Griezmann paid out of his own pocket and gave all the first-team players a luxury wallet.
This Christmas after Laporta took office, this practice did not resume. Due to the club's financial difficulties and no reserves for any extra-budgetary expenses, Barca will not distribute Christmas gifts to players this year.
