FC Barcelona's total debt could exceed 2.6 billion euros based on repayment deadlines, according to an investigation by The Athletic. Despite a strong start on the pitch under Hansi Flick, the club recently received authorization to secure 510 million euros in additional debt, split between Camp Nou renovations and operational cash-flow needs.
