Gallardo noted that “the only obstacle is the club’s members,” as Barcelona is collectively owned by its members, who retain control over elections and key management decisions. He also pointed out that Barcelona’s current debt exceeds €2.5 billion.
The club is valued at approximately $5.6 billion, placing it among the five most valuable football teams in the world and ranking third globally, behind Manchester United and Real Madrid.
Earlier, Qazinform News Agency reported that FC Barcelona announced plans to establish the “Barça Academy,” a youth football academy, in Mongolia in 2026.
