🗣 Albert Ortega: "People are asking where all this money is coming from for Gordon and Álvarez."
Barcelona have always been a money-generating machine. The problem was never the money. It was compliance with La Liga's financial controls and the salary cap blocking registrations, not the ability to spend.
Barcelona could always structure deals. The wall was always the economic control rules and whether new signings could actually be registered.
This summer that changes. The return to the 1:1 rule changes everything.
Lewandowski's departure. Camp Nou reopening. Sponsorship agreements. VIP suite sales. New commercial deals. Wage bill reductions. Every single one of those moved the needle.
After more than five years of operating with one hand tied behind their back Barcelona are entering this transfer market with real financial power and real room to move.
This isn't luck. This is five years of painful reconstruction finally paying off. 🔵🔴
🗣 Albert Ortega
After four years full of challenges and hard work, it's time to move on.
I leave with the feeling that the mission is complete. 4 seasons, 3 championships.
I will never forget the love I received from the fans from my very first days.
Catalonia is my place on earth.
Thank you to everyone I met along the way during these beautiful four years.
A special thank you to President Laporta for giving me the chance to live the most incredible chapter of my career.
Barça is back where it belongs.
Visca el Barça. Visca Catalunya 💙❤️
