Seems pretty old news. We know Barca are fudging the books wherever possible and only 'wishing' everything adds up. If it is true they're holding back with long-term transfer fees because they need to generate sufficient revenue from sales and other areas, then it is going to be pretty clear you're living beyond your means a few years forward if you continue paying 80+ for each high profile target.
Surely you'll somehow have to sell Dembele, Coutinho, Rakitić, Suarez and/or Semedo, Pique for no less than 150 to have any hope of being able to fill the gaps with smart deals in the future.

It's pretty normal that transfer fees are written off along the contract period. A 100m fee with a 5 year contract would be payed in 5 installments of 20m. Every club operates like this and almost every transfer bar buy out clauses in Spain, are like this. That's the reason why we still owe money for coutinho etc. and why other clubs owe us for players.
Nope. Every club habdles transfers like that.

So much for Barto at least doing a good job with barça's finances if this is remotely true.
don't forget Barcelona had to borrow to buy Griezmann (a player who doesn't fit), all the Neymar money has been long wasted already.

The transfers are being paid for as they are for virtually every top club making big deals.

Bro, it's reported under consolidated income statement for the 2018-19 annual report. It's account payable and should be listed under non-current liabilities, and the club still making a profit (little above breakeven).
For Coutinho, it's 66.6m, for FDJ 48.6m, Neto 19.5m, Malcom is paid.
Also, we don't owe Liverpool anything, we owe another financial institution who bought Liverpool's account receivable.

Yea, but it still doesn't change the fact that we kind of wasted a lot of money because we have had incompetents running the club in the last 2-3 years. From the president to the manager.

Different argument but folk freaking out about how these transfers are paid for dont seem to understand how these deals are structured.

Ex vice-president Mestre talking about board members acting like sporting directors and coaches without expert knowledge. More or less playing real live football manager. Who would have thought it? 
Also mentioning that the financial situation was and still is tense. That's why they only loaned players like Murillo or Boateng.
