On January 3, journalist Tariq Panja listed on social media some quotes from Barca president Laporta about the club's finances, and wondered if he was paving the way for an end to the membership model.
Tariq Panja summarizes some quotes from La Porta on Barca's finances:
August 2021 – Barca have 1.35 billion euros in debt
October 2021 – We would have liked Messi to play for Barca for free
January 2022 – everyone in the world should be ready because we are back as big players in the market and Barca are back
Tariq Panja wrote: "Is he paving the way for an end to the membership model? Make the financial situation out of control, and eventually the club will lose its profitable position and have to become a limited company? ”
