FC Barcelona official statement

FC Barcelona wishes to clarify some information that appeared in today's edition of 'El Periódico de Catalunya' regarding a certain bank account belonging to the club directors.

Having constituted the somewhat excessive guarantee of 124 million euros to which the directors expose their personal wealth, and which was required in order to form the governing body of the club, the members of the Board of Directors had to open a bank account to cover the costs of maintaining the said guarantee.

This account was used by the Board of Directors to receive assistance in the form of a loan with no further compensation. In the case of the company ISL Fútbol Limited Liability Company, its contribution did not generate any additional compensation. Moreover, FC Barcelona has in recent years been reducing its business relations with that company, which began in 2015, but has done so due to the better conditions that the club has found on the market, notwithstanding that the business relationship has continued due to the high degree of satisfaction with its services.
