Teams across the globe have been consistently losing out on matchday revenues due to behind-closed-doors fixtures \u2013 while juggling hefty wage bills and other running costs exacerbated by the worldwide coronavirus outbreak that has had a devastating impact on clubs\u2019 finances.<\/p>\n
Barca have been persistently linked with a big-money move for Inter Milan\u2019s Lautaro Martinez, but Bartomeu has again cast doubt over the club\u2019s transfer prospects after revealing the extent of La Blaugrana\u2019s extensive losses.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe saw that there was a pandemic worldwide and said that it would be a complex summer with swap deals, and that\u2019s what is happening,\u201d Bartomeu told Mundo Deportivo.<\/p>\n
\u201cSince March 14 we have not received a euro. We have missed out on \u20ac200 million.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have recovered a lot by reducing wages and using ERTE\u2019s (Temporary Employment Regulation File, with the government paying 70% of wages).<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have had to close the shops and the museum, there have been no ticket sales. We have paid back the ticket money for matches fans couldn\u2019t attend. \u20ac200m is a big blow.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis pandemic will have effects for two or three seasons. Nobody should think that things will be fixed by next season. The great financial gurus talk about four years, but I think football will go faster.\u201d<\/p>\n
A recent report claimed that Barca had placed 12 players on the transfer list as they look to balance the books during this period of financial uncertainty.<\/p>\n
