🎙️| Eduard Romeu (Economic Vice-President of Barcelona) in an interview with @sport
🗣️: "Barça's solution is to recover the model that it should never have abandoned." #FCB
@sport 🎙️| Eduard Romeu on all the worrying figures that Reverter presented last week
🗣️: "The imbalance of the club. In an ordinary company, this would mean bankruptcy. Fortunately, we have the confidence to reverse the situation with a business plan approved by an auditor. " #FCB
@sport 🎙️| Eduard Romeu on expected actions against Bartomeu's board of directors
🗣️: "I don't know. At the moment we have the results, they will be transferred to the club's legal department, which will determine if there has been any illegal activity, or if it's bad management." #FCB
🗣️: "I am very calm in view of the Assembly. All members have the same goal: Espai Barça is an ambitious project that we will enjoy for the next 100 years. We have to do it well and, above all, we cannot put the club at risk." #FCB
🗣️: "That is why the entity will not be responsible for anything if things do not go well. In addition to not losing money, you will generate additional income." #FCB
@sport 🎙️| Eduard Romeu on how long Barcelona will need to wait before competing in the transfer market for players like Mbappe/Haaland
🗣️: "We won't be able to sign the best players in the world for two years." #FCB
🗣️: "It is very important that Barça recover the model that it should never have abandoned, with La Masia as the backbone of the team and the stars as accessories." #FCB
@sport 🎙️| Eduard Romeu if Barcelona will use Ansu Fati as a marketing figure with Messi gone
🗣️: "Yes, although I don't want to focus only on Ansu Fati. We have a great group of young players with DNA and Barça style. You have to be patient with all of them." #FCB
🗣️: "In addition, it would be very healthy if there was a wider range and that not everything focused on a footballer as happened with Leo Messi. We have many assets with commercial appeal and we cannot focus on one." #FCB
@sport 🎙️| Eduard Romeu if Barça made a mistake 'linking' so much to Messi on a commercial level?
🗣️: "We must not forget that the Barça brand is the most valued in the world at a sporting level. And this is said by 'Forbes' magazine, I am not saying it." #FCB
🗣️: " I would love to have Leo, but I have to value the club's brand. The best players in the world have passed through here. The economic 'Messidependencia', in addition, would have ended sooner or later." #FCB
@sport 🎙️| Eduard Romeu if Barcelona feels Leo's departure financially
🗣️: "What we know is what we save. Knowing what we have stopped entering is more complicated. At the moment, we have not noticed the consequences in the negotiations of sponsorship contracts." #FCB
@sport 🎙️| Eduard Romeu if it's possible for Barça to earn more than €55m per year for the sponsorship of the shirt
🗣️: "€55-€60m is fair value at this time. It seems little to me, even without Messi. We have already shown investors that the Barça brand is very powerful." #FCB
@sport 🎙️| Eduard Romeu on Barcelona's relationship with Nike
🗣️: "We are talking. Like any relationship, there are moments of more and less difficulty. Between conciliatory people who like to negotiate there can be no problems." #FCB
@sport 🎙️| Eduard Romeu on changing Barcelona's shirt manufacturer
🗣️: "Everything can be valued. We are open to maximizing income wherever it comes from, but obviously we always give priority to those who have accompanied us so far." #FCB

🗣️: "We are full of pride, very excited because we are aware that it is a historic moment. He is only 18 years old but he is already a first team player and has established himself." #FCB#Pedri2026
🗣️: "I am very happy. It is the club I always wanted to be in. I have always said that Barça is the club I love. Seeing that they bet on you and that they hope you will do great things makes me proud." #FCB#Pedri2026

🗣️: "Playing without an audience was a challenge, but I enjoyed my debut. It was a very beautiful day, the stadium should always be full." #FCB#Pedri2026
🎙️| Josep Bartomeu (Former Barcelona president) in an interview with @mundodeportivo
🗣️: "Bad management? I know it is a phrase that runs but it has been very serious and responsible, rigorous, with a project and a strategic plan that was set especially in 2015." #FCB
🗣️: "We are the board that has been most active but as of March 2020, that serious and rigorous management was truncated by the appearance of the pandemic, which drastically decreased revenues." #FCB
🗣️: "It has not been disastrous. I am not saying it. LaLiga says it, UEFA in its Financial Fair Play and the auditors. There have been benefits of about €185m. "Forbes" said that in 2020 the club was the most valuable club in the world."
🎙️| Josep Bartomeu (Former Barcelona president) in an interview with @sport
🗣️: "This month of October has been a year since we resigned as Board of Directors. And although we would like to be more anonymous, we have made a statement because there are things that are false" #FCB
🗣️: "What we do not intend is to question the economic closure of the 20-21 season, because each meeting closes as it sees fit, but we did want to emphasize the impact that COVID has had." #FCB
🗣️: "Not this season, because it already started in March 2020, when revenues plummeted, suddenly, from one day to the next, and from then on the club stops bringing in enough money to continue paying salaries and even suppliers." #FCB
🎙️| Eduard Romeu (Economic Vice-President of Barcelona) in an interview with @mundodeportivo
🗣️: "The worst thing is that in two and a half years the debt grew by €500m without the Assembly knowing about it." #FCB
@mundodeportivo 🎙️| Eduard Romeu on Barcelona's bad situation economically
🗣️: "An entity that presents negative equity of €451m, which means being in technical bankruptcy, is a problem. Along with this, there was a very relevant cash problem when we entered, payroll could not be paid." #FCB
🗣️: "At a structural level we have improved a lot, we have been able to spend the short-term debt long with a credit operation that the assembly of delegates approved and that we improved the expected terms." #FCB
🗣 “Maradona's death? I felt bad, very bad. When I found out, I thought it was a lie, like other times, but since I saw that a lot of people were saying it, I asked someone close and he answered that it was true."
🗣 "Wondering what I needed to win the Ballon d'Or? I thought about it, and one day I asked Leo. He told me that to have a firm chance to win the Ballon d'Or, I had to win the Champions League and he is right."
🗣 "Any Problems with Guardiola? No, never. I never argued with him. We did have to clarify things. When he arrived, as we didn't know each other, we had a bit of a trial run. The last three years have been fantastic at City."
