Barcelona Faces Fresh Scandal As Club Is Accused of Falsely Inflating Their Finances With Economic Levers

• Barcelona has been accused of falsely inflating their accounts using their own money in order to register their new players
• The Catalans have been unable to register their new players after their request was rejected by La Liga due to their financial issues
• Barcelona has signed Robert Lewandowski, Jules Kounde, and Raphinha while the club also renewed the contract of Ousmane Dembele

Barcelona could be in for another scandal following the club’s recent bid to generate more funds to register the club’s new players which had made them activate some economic levers.

The Catalans have sold 25% of their TV rights to an American company, Sixth Street and disclosed the deal had generated a whooping €667m as income.

According to Football Espana, Barcelona has now been accused of falsely inflating their accounts using their own money as the US company reported an outlay of €517m.

It is claimed that Logskley Investments S.L. which is a company formed by Sixth Street and Barcelona with each possessing a 50% stake, provided the difference in the transaction.

Barcelona then loaned €150m of their own money to Logskley Investments, who in turn paid that back to Barcelona as part of the TV rights deal, thus falsely inflating the value of the deal.
